    These songs set the stage for the overall theme, and tend to be stronger songs on the album. I would have said k--- You hands down for the longest time, but Bad Guy and Cold Wind Blows came on my shuffle and got me thinking how I actually really enjoyed both these songs, especially for post hiatus Eminem. What do you think has been his best album opener?

    Evil Deeds is definitely the worst. And then 3AM.

    I enjoy Cold Wind Blows but know it isn't nearly as good as k--- You or White America.
    I wouldn't vote My Name Is.

    It was between Bad Guy or k--- You and I went with Bad Guy.

    His first three are the best, none after compare imo

    I'd rank them:

    k--- You
    White America
    My name is

    @M Solo what did you think of Bad Guy? From what I remember you didn't care for MMLP2 but for a lot of people it was a stand out track. You think he pulled it off or failed miserably?

    Had this thread a while back, it could have been back on studioleaks though thinking about it. My opinion still hasn't changed, White America easily, one of my all time favourite songs

    k--- You is easily the best opener. Cold Wind Blows is probably the worst. White America is the 2nd best. My Name Is and Bad Guy can go either way in the 3rd or 4th spot.

    k--- You (One of his best songs in general)
    White America
    Bad Guy (The fact that the concept of the song was a surprise was great great lines scattered throughout a good first half with an EPIC second half)
    3 am
    Cold Wind Blows (Guilty Pleasure and catchy as h--- at certain points)
    Evil Deeds (Not much of an attention grabber but I like it)
    My Name Is (Boring song with some funny parts never been a fan of the song)

    But just gotta say Evil Deeds I LOVE. The s--- gives you a panicky mood and just does a great job of capturing emotion and what it somewhat feels like to be that big with all pressure. IDK i realy enjoy it

    White America
    Cold Wind Blows
    Evil Deeds
    3 AM
    Bad Guy

    Voted "White America" just because I think it was the perfect opening track for an album titled The Eminem Show, and it set the tone for the rest of the album. On the other hand, everyone remembers "When I was just a little baby boy my momma used to tell me these crazy things..."

    The opening of CWB is amazing, until he starts rapping, still good though.

    k--- You by far
