Best Rap Songs of the 21st Century
The Top Ten
Eminem is just so amazing with his compositions! Love to hear a song so appealing with wonderful lyrics from his life and I always get something to learn from him!
Very inspiring, no one can compete, can't wait for his new album!
Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time. His delivery is outstanding. He stresses certain syllables making impossible words rhyme. He is a no doubt the greatest lyrical rapper that's ever lived and Lose Yourself is his greatest masterpiece. No doubt the greatest lyrical song ever written!
This Is The Greatest Rap Song Off All Time. None Is Better. It's Even The Highest Sold Rap Song Off All Time
This song must be in top 10 for sure! This is the best rap song of 21st century. Em deserves the first 3 positions in this list!
Who ever voted 4 dis list sucks, dis list is weak... Kanye really!
This song was inspired by the song called one love on illmatic
Best Eminem Songs.
It just sound amazing. And Stronger, Through the Wire, and Jesus Walks are all better than Gold Digger.
I got 99 Problems why isn't this number 1?
From top 10 rap songs of 21st century 6 songs are from kanye west and every one of them is amazing but this song... I could listen to it whole day and than again and again...
This song is motivation
The only reason that this masterpiece is not in the top 10, or top 20 at least, is how underrated it is. - yaygiants16
This song is nothing short of iconic. Should be top 5
Best song of all time hands down not even close
Yeah, this is easily one of the best rap songs of the 21st century. - SwagFlicks
If more people really searched for the truth in hip hop, this song would be in the top 3.
This song is unbelievable. More than 6 minutes of rapping in this song. Unbelievable story telling in this song.
This is one of the greatest song in rap history.
Just number 1 man.. Let's stop fooling around!
Love the song... Though some people are criticizing it... Duh
Ok so there's 8 Eminem and kanye west songs in the top ten
amazing
Just look at the 6000 words he spited in 6 minute
Wow, wow, wow unbelievable man, love Eminem should be no. 2or3. Eminem forever!
The superfast part it simply amazing - _Infinite_
When I heard it first I was like... Eminem is the best rapper... Really a Rap God... Why be a king when you can be the god... Hats off to you
WOAH I guessed lose yourself would be number 1 but this is THIRD?! FINALLY THE WORLD UNDERSTANDS HOW GREAT THIS SONG IS! Better than Eminems stuff, the rap in sick, the beat is incredible, the lyrics are good but it's not his best song. One of them. Surprised Ridin' by chamillionaire isn't here, but this list has showed me that kanye isn't underrated at all! Jesus walks is also a fantastic song with a great meaning, but through the wire 10#? Not quite...
It good and I love it and I would rate it 10/10 and its cool and how do I make this more than poor :s anyway I'm just gunna write until its like the best possibl. E and I like the way its nice to slaves. There we go finnaly the blue bar has popped up
The Contenders
Best song of 50 cent
In the Club is a good song. The beat is hard, and it fits perfectly with 50's lyrics and flow. - SwagFlicks
The only song that I have never gotten tiered of. - CDShark
Best song ever
Just listen to it, and your respect for him (musical talent and otherwise) will skyrocket. Trust me.
Not only the best rap song of the 21st century, the best song of all time. - SwagFlicks
Shouldn't be this high, but it's in the top ten Eminem songs for me
Best song of all time
One of the best rap song in this century and jay's verse is so underrated
This is song is a hidden gem, very happy it got recognition on this list
My favorite K.Dot song
Love this song!
Literally the worst song in College Dropout, possibly worst Kanye West song
This is a great song, but it's the exact opposite of gangsta rap
Awesome song grew up with this
Overrated
This is no where near the best song of the 21st century
This sucks
Best bass song ever
Not from the 21st century...
Wasn't this released in the 20th century? A good song nonetheless. - SwagFlicks
Great song, but this is 1998
Best song ever
Love this song, it's an Anthem. I don't really know why Miss Me is in here, it's not even the best on the album.
Hilarious, witty lyrics, perfectly sung. I'm astonished by the tricks he uses while singing it! The background sound suits it perfectly and the voice is SIMPLY AWESOME
This is basically the perfect rap song. Funny, sick beat, amazing rap...
Great emotion and catchy hook
Love this song my favorite eminem song by far
The most depressing and amazing Eminem song
Ultimate song everybody should listen it's very close to lose yourself and should be second after that... Real rap is in this song
Should be top ten
Wow
Witty, humorous, great beat and sung by one of the best rappers there is- what more do you need with a song. - akankshamishra
I absolutely love this song. It's funny, catchy, and memorable. - SwagFlicks
Look up his story on the Internet. His best friend was shot in the head 3 times. He was out of the biz for me than a year. But he came back with this powerful song that is about his comeback. This song is amazing, should be in the top ten!
Great song! And great message to
As always, Eminem nails the list
Amazing song
The verses with his songs go so deep and make people really think life is like. Not just that but the beat is dope too.
A song about the negative effects of alcoholism. And a very good one. - SwagFlicks
This is simply the best rap song of the millennium
Seriously how is this so l ow? i t this was so damn good even if game may not have written all the verses. And kill you which is from a brilliant album, is higher than this as well as hot in here? I mean game is just too underrated I mean the bitchass muthaers at the grammys have robbed him of a nomination for best rap album I mean really encore got nominated instead of this brilliant piece of work, sure the documentary had name calling, but encore had weird noises such as a personating. Then in 08' they nominated kingdom come which is famous for being a bad album instead of doctor's advocate which isn't greatest of all time but it's miles ahead of kingdom come. I get it he's a real thug but people are brought up into these types of lives. Man that was a long rant. BUT This message about the levels that game is underrated and treated unfairly.
Most underrated song ever
Yeah, this is a good song. - SwagFlicks
This song is full of energy and very comedic, which places it above songs like Rack City and Hotline Bling. - SwagFlicks
Amazing!
This song is just unbelievable, get this to number 1. There are 18 songs ahead of this, when 0 songs should be ahead of this
One of the best rap compositions, a perfect song on some Mozart level!
This should be on top 3,lyrically untouchable!
This song's just awesome
Kendrick goes off in this song. not only are the lyrics and flow untouchable, he paints a portrait of growing up in Compton unlike anybody has ever seen before, and brings light upon the social injustices and struggles faced by African Americans in the modern society. Gotta be top ten if not top five.
The greatest rap song ever. A perfect portrait of growing up in Compton.
Great lyricism and meaning
Too many Eminem dick riders on TheTopTens. This song needs to be in the top ten.
I can tell already the fanboys are going to dislike this comment
Awesome song, love the beat, great rapping by Lil Wayne and Eminem, they make the best duo ever, love it..!
This IS the best Eminem song. The way he combines words and beats in this song, insane.
This is probably Eminem's second best opener after Bad Guy. - SwagFlicks
It's such an awesome song... Must hear to it frnds..
Vote for the king of hip hop & rap - shady...
The beat is nasty personally 50 and Banks had sick verses
This should be the best song of the 21st century becasue it's a great hype song, a great beat to listen too, and the verses from everybody is dope instantiously top 5
For real this song is amazing Kendrick Lamar dissing every worthwhile rapper and big sean and Jay electronica both have great verses
This is definitely a milestone in hip hop. No other rap song has caused such controversy as this song
This was sung by the "new" Em, and it gets a fair amount of criticism for being too much of a pop song. But listen to the lyrics. Witty and strong. Amazing song, and I don't mind the bit with Rihana either.
