Top 10 Songs You Didn't Know Were Written by Eminem

[@WatchMojo]

To clarify, as there are different ways to contribute to the creation of a song, when we say songs written by Eminem it doesn't mean that he was the sole lyricist on a track but made enough of a contribution to be listed as a songwriter. thanks! Which of these entries did you least expect to see on this list? Let us know in the comments. Check out our featured song: "Empath" by Fayne! kzbin.info/www/bejne/poakq6Okm8SqeKM

This was kind of misleading. If he writes the hook, like he does with a lot of songs that he produces, he's going to get writing credit for publishing. saying he wrote it makes the rapper who claims he's writes his own stuff, look bad. Now, we all now he wrote for Dre. but the rest of the artist you see he didn't write their verses.

You guys made it seem he wrote verses for Obie and other rappers. The only one he would write for is Dr. Dre. The reason he has writing credit he made the beat. As in he wrote the instrumentals in music theory terms. Rappers take pride in writing their own rhymes.

[@DarkrainHD]

Yep, and you can get a writers credit for even something as small as a snippet. Eminem wouldn't even mess with these other rappers if they needed ghostwriters, Dr. Dre is different as he's a producer not an emcee

[@scLefQ]

Writing choruses and hooks are the majority of the actual writing credits. A few lines here and there can get a person credited as well. Never underestimate what a chorus or hook does for a song.

[@kevinzhang6623]

No, theyre just pointing out the ones Em wrote, either partly or entirely. Last I checked, Obie has more than this one track in his discography. Lol

@Kevin Zhang "You didn't know were written by Eminem" They make it seem like he was ghost writing for dudes. I understand a writers credit for choruses or hooks. But the way they phrased it, comes off as he wrote all the verses and hooks that's all I was saying.

@@robertreeser263 not exactly sure what you're trying to say. But Matt Mitchell AKA Casio kid who was originally on the Rick and bubba show and now is on Rocket 95.1 in Huntsville Alabama, is his cousin and has talked about him a few times on the radio and has said that he is from Gadsden Alabama. Now he moved to Tennessee to pursue his career in music. But he is originally from Alabama. He references it in multiple songs and videos. Hell even in Tech N9ne's song worldwide chopper when they call out his name they said he's from Alabama. So maybe it is you that should do your research.

[@robertreeser263]

Yelawolf said his stage name was inspired by his father. Throughout childhood, Atha moved often. He spent much of his time in Antioch, Tennessee, and attended Carter Lawrence Middle School in Nashville, which is located near the Edgehill Homes apartment projects. These are facts not what someone’s sister in law baby cousin said … he spent most of his time growing up in Tennessee Born In Alabama…

[@KeithPierson]

@@robertreeser263 you just said it then. He was born in Alabama. Then that is where he's originally from. And it says he spent most of his time in Tennessee. Most is not all. And if you read my whole comment. In worldwide choppers they say he's from Alabama. If you pay attention to the video rolling with kid Rock they're driving through Gadsden Alabama. He's an Alabama football fan not Tennessee. But is this really an argument that is worthy of the internet. I know I'm right, you think you're right you can read all you want on things. But in the end it's where he claims he's from. One article may say Alabama and another one may say Tennessee. But until one of us asks him personally and he tells us we won't really know. So keep doing your research. And I'll just ask him next time he comes to Huntsville when I'm hanging out with his cousin at the concert. I'll be sure the post the video.
