    My Name Is, because that's his introduction to the rap game.

    If Eminem had done the intro of MMLP2 with the 2nd part of bad guy it would of been incredible.

    I actually voted Bad Guy. I feel it's Eminem trying to honestly give the fans what they wanted. Whether it failed or not is a different story but I love the song for what it tried to be.
    k--- You would be second because it's just do effortlessly brilliant.
    White America 3rd because of the anger and getting Em talk some political s--- I'd interesting.
    All the others can go on any order after that, they are all equally meh.

    Songs like White America and k--- You and fantastic songs, but Bad Guy is a fantastic opener. Secretly putting a sequel to Stan as the first track was genius. Plus, nothing beats the last lines...

    "So, one last time. I'm back. before it fades into black and it's all over. Behold the final chapter in a saga. Trynna recapture that lightning trapped in the bottle. Twice the magic that started it all. Tragic, portrait of an artist tortured. Trapped in his own drawings, tappin' the thoughts. Blacker and darker than anything imaginable. Here goes a wild stab in the dark... uh... as we pick up where the last Mathers left off."

    not to mention the incredible amount of self awareness on that track. it's great
