Tomorrow evening at Comerica Park, I will witness Eminem perform alongside Rihanna and I’m truly excited. I’ve been to my share of concerts in my life, but this one is special. For one thing – Mr. Mathers rarely tours. And having a chance to see him in front of his hometown crowd should really be something special.

Therefore – tonight I bring you my personal Top Ten favorite Eminem tracks of all time. Feel free to chime in on the comments section and share your personal favorites. Let’s get to it!

10. “Won’t Back Down” from Recovery (2010)

From his album that heralded a major comeback for the rapper, the hard hitting “Won’t Back Down” is my favorite on the LP. Pink assists with vocals.

9. “Business” from The Eminem Show (2002)

It wasn’t a single but it might as well have been, as this jam has become a staple of his (rare) live shows.

8. “The Way I Am” from The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)

Dealing with his newfound fame through his incredible lyrics, “The Way I Am” is a highlight off his historic second mainstream album.

7. “‘Till I Collapse” from The Eminem Show (2002)

With backing vocals from the late Nate Dogg, “Collapse” is a booming anthem that has since become a staple of sports teams. Great track to psyche yourself up.

6. “My Name Is” from The Slim Shady LP (1999)

This was the song that exposed Marshall Mathers to the world with typical brilliant production from Dr. Dre. Hip hop has never been the same.

5. “Rap God” from The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013)

The finest track off his latest album, “Rap God” is an amazing production with one highlight being Em’s unbelievably rapid fire delivery of a verse towards the song’s close.

4. “Stan” from The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)

A lyrical masterpiece – “Stan” recounts the tale of a crazed fan obsessed with rapper. A memorable Grammy performance of the song followed with Elton John.

3. “Without Me” from The Eminem Show (2002)

Em’s lead single from his third album showcases Em and Dre doing what they do best, including the rapper’s hilarious disses of other celebrities.

2. “Kill You” from The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)

For anyone for thought his hit first album was a fluke, the first track off his best album negated that. “Kill You” finds Em humorously reflecting on superstardom in only a way he can.

1. “Lose Yourself” from The 8 Mile soundtrack (2002)

This may be the greatest hip hop anthem ever created, period. 12 years later, you can still listen to it and want to take on the world. It’s inspirational, flawlessly produced, and features some of Slim Shady’s greatest verses.

And there you have it, my friends! Looking forward to seeing the man himself in 24 hours.
