10 Most Underrated Eminem Songs
10. Same Song And Dance - Relapse
By the time Eminem conquered the music world, it was a long way back down to the bottom. After turning himself into a caricature on the album Encore, he spent the rest of his career trying to revive the more sinister side of his personality. While nothing was as intense and angry as the start of Em's career, Relapse did have at least one great horrorshow on Same Song and Dance.
Adopting the serial killer role he used to have, the Shady persona thrives on this track, as he spits out lyrics comparing girls to dancing in a club. This is standard hip hop fare at best, but once you dig a bit deeper, the dance is much more than just choreography. As the story unfolds, this persona is revealed to take women back to his apartment and kill them in a Buffalo Bill-style execution.
In that respect, the proverbial song is taking place solely in this dude's mind, with the dance being the struggles of his lady friends trying not to fall prey to his clutches.
Eminem might have been considered a bit of a joke after embarrassing himself, but it only takes one song to remind you that this was a scary guy you didn't want to find yourself alone with.
