    Kim by a long shot, if we we're only comparing the second part to Bad Guy it'd be much harder. Any potential the first two verses of Bad Guy may had was completely ruined by Eminem trying to be clever and keep it a secret till the third verse.

    Bad Guy. I like the idea of Kim more than the execution of it. I see what he was trying to do, and I appreciate the effort, but it's just unpleasant to listen to

    Yup i gotta go with Kim. Its not even close for me. If the em scrapped the first two verses of bad guy and did some more of what he did on the last beat it would've been closer.

    Im suprised so many people actaully prefer bad guy over kim

    Definitely Kim for me. Recent Eminem music, even when it is comparatively decent, seems to lack any genuine passion or human emotion. I consider the line "I rap like a robot, so call me rap-bot" to be sadly truthful nowadays, because a robot can be technically flawless and amazingly fast, but cannot convey any sincere human feeling....Anyways, IMO, nothing he has done past-8 mile is better than any of what he did before.

    I listen to it whenever I put in MMLP, which is a couple times a year. And it's still my go to song whenever I have an argument or a bad breakup with a girlfriend.

    Kim and Hailie's Song are my Top 2 of all-time by him. They show the two polar opposite sides of his music and personality. One is a dark as can be horror story of hate and the other shows his profound never-ending love for his daughter. Nearly 15 years later these two songs still effect me the same way they did when they were released. Kim is still disturbing, uncomfortable, and almost scary to listen to. And I'm not gonna lie, I still get tears in my eyes during the last verse and hook of Hailie's Song.

    Well its a 15 year old song so, yea. I still listen to Recovery at LEAST once a month. Probably more. Its in my deck right now actually. Hollywood Undead not so much. Still bump Swan Songs occasionally though.

    Bad guy is kind of ruined by that last verse. Was a decent concept and execution until the beat switches and he decides to beat you over the head with it.
    A joke is no good after you have to explain it, and the same is true for extended metaphor.
