    Stillmatic

    1. Stillmatic Intro (one of the best intros of all-time)
    2. Ether
    3. Got Ur Self a Gun

    The amount of energy alone on those tracks really sets the tone for the album, it was Nas' battle cry, he came out the gates with a b---.

    The best five song stretch is on Recovery though. Five of the best songs of his career back to back. Going Through Changes and Space Bound are near 10/10s. Not Afraid is the best lead single of his career. And Seduction and No Love are both fire, simply great. This five song stretch is post-hiatus Eminem at his best.

    Going Through Changes
    Not Afraid
    Seduction
    No Love
    Space Bound

    Apart from Not Afraid the others are very good songs.
    I used to like Not Afraid but with time I realised its one of the corniest songs of Eminem's career.

    A much better 5 song eminem stretch is on Eminem show. If you dont include the steve berman skits, without me, sing for the moment, superman, hailies song, and when the music stops > that recovery stretch imo. :jordan:
