So far I'm pretty satisfied with the top 10. The only song that really shouldn't be this high IMO is "Mockingbird", which might not be as bad as some of the wankery on that album, but is still mediocre and overrated in my book. "Without Me" didn't come close to my top 10 either, and is somewhat overrated , but I can live with it being top 10 here.
The top 2 is also the same as my top 2, and I'm guessing the order will match as well.

Poor Stanley.
At least my #2 as well as his most iconic song won.

YES, It won! Sad it lost the 2000's RD.
This IS the rap song of last decade.

Yup, top 2 here matches my top 2. Predictable, but well-deserved.

This top 2 was ultra-predictable, so the only hope that I had was that it would be relatively close. It wasn't. Oh well. "Lose Yourself" is the song that even non-Eminem fans at least somewhat appreciate. "Stan" is, dare I say, a masterpiece, though, and deserving to be in the same lofty atmosphere as "Lose Yourself".
Thanks for the ride, PREDS. :)

It was expected, but I'm still a bit disappointed. I'll take #2 though. Stan is definitely one of my all time favorites, it's such an incredible song. Everything about it, the production, Eminem's rapping and the lyrics are all perfect. Dido's hook is great too. The first time I heard it was like a "mind blow". Lose Yourself is amazing too and a well-deserved winner.
Thanks for hosting this PJ, it was really fun.

I knew Lose Yourself was going to win but I had hope for Stan, which for the record, is the greatest rap song of all time

Rather predictable top 5. Eminem has some highs but some pretty low lows.

Great winner! Would've preferred to see "Stan" win but "Lose Yourself" is iconic, so no complaints there. I'll echo what Yotam said about "Stan" because it was a "mind blow" for me as well when I first listened to "Stan". Everything is great about the song, but his detalied storytelling in his rap and the perfect choice of sampling blew me away.
Thanks for hosting Preds!

*I'm gonna go listen to Stan for the first time* --- Edit: Woah those 7 minutes went too fast. I'm pretty sure I've actually heard this before but maybe like once or twice I think my dad showed me it. I love the vibe of this song. I love this a lot. --- Alright I'm at the third listen and I just realized there were like rain and writing (I think) sounds in the background. --- THIS IS GOING TO BE A SHORT JOURNEY FOR ME. I'm gonna go watch the video. (I was listening in Spotify) (also, is this where the term 'Stan' came from lol)

Stan was an iconic moment for multiple reasons, including its highlighting another already good song and artist (Dido's Thank You). I was appalled at seeing it flop in the Hot 100. The video was a huge moment as well. Intensity, lyrics, passion... and yes the 'creation' of the term stan :) It was a very close call for me between Stan and LY. I finally gave it to LY maybe because it didn't have a full chorus sample and it fully relied on Em's vocal performance and a strong instrumental track. I'm any case these are my two favorite rap songs ever.
Thanks for hosting @pjscott11! Great job :)

Mockingbird, top-10? Eh. Otherwise, I'm satisfied! I knew LY would come out on top.
