Stan (most of his later stuff too), by Eminem.

It's true, that most rap stands and falls on it's lyrics, but without a good beat, those lyrics stand on shaky ground. Take for example The Roots. Their lyrics are amazing and they are good musicians since they play instruments, so they have a grounding in music theory, but sometimes that music is god awful.

By later stuff did you mean older? Because his most recent is absolute trash and his earliest is far superior. I do not completely agree about needing good beats. Big L's Lifestyles of the Poor and Dangerous is one of my favourite albums and the production is quite bad. Of course that is just my taste.

Eminem Show had good lyrics, I forgot about Encore and whatever else he made. It would have been easier if you simply FYP'd me.
