Love him or hate him, one thing you have to admit, Eminem is a genius when it comes to rhyming. His use of language to paint images is well respected in both music and even literary worlds. He admits to dropping out of school in the 9th grade, but it was his love of language that caused him to read and re-read the dictionary countless times to develop his rhyming skills. Back in an interview on the show '60 Minutes' back in 2010, he even took the challenge to come up with words that rhyme with "orange", in fact he came up with an on-the-spot rap that addressed the challenge perfectly. "People say that the word orange doesn't rhyme with anything ... I can think of a lot of things that rhyme with orange," said Eminem, before effortlessly conjuring an on the spot rap about putting an "orange, four-inch, door hinge in storage" and having "porridge with Geo-rge." Do you admire Eminem after hearing a bit more about his story?

I know a lot of you on here always say you hate rap music, and it's not music at all. But, in fact, most of Eminem's lyrics say more than most of the songs from the 50's and the 60's as far as commentary on modern life. Here are just a few of his lyrics. I tried to keep it PG, which isn't easy for Eminem. That's why there are a few I could not put on the list. Are there any here you can appreciate as well written?
