[West Coast Veteran]

Crook.

[T-Dogg]

Fo sho Eminem. Although Crook is good too, ("So Damn Hood" is hot) but Eminem... He's just CRAZY on the mic.

[Deuce_G]

Eminem would take it.  Crook is an excellent lyricist, but Eminem is more creative.  Crook's verses would ring hollow over time, while Em's would continue to be hilarious and scathing.  

[Hack Wilson - real]

crooked I would've ended his career

[papa-smurf]

Death row crooked i would murder emniem without a doubt! But it will be hard for crooked i to murder eminem with the way he rap now a days. crooked i is still dope but when he was untouchable when he was on death row

What does a classic album or the lack thereof has to do with winning a rap battle ?

not that they're 'battle' rappers but he pretty much shut down Canibus, Cage, ICP, Ja Rule/Murder INC, Benzino, and the list goes on... Crooked I couldn't even get one up on Snoop after "Pimp Slapp'd" but while we're at it name one battle Crooked I came in first place 

and this is coming from somebody who hasn't supported an Eminem record since 2002 (2006 if you include The Re-Up)

It's true that Eminem has been involved in (and won) a great deal of beefs, but in all honesty Cage, ICP, Ja Rule, Benzino, Nick Cannon (and Mariah  ) were all easy targets. A lot of other rappers could've easily got the upper hand against those. Now, the Canibus beef was trickier in terms of skill needed, but eventually with his "i take my energy from Mars and create the stars" type of bullshit rhymes people just get bored, so Canibus didn't stand a chance either. Crooked on the other hand took (kinda weak) shots at Snoop and DMX who are on a whole another level when compared to Haystak and all the others Eminem was beefing with. I think this battle can go either way nowadays.

Crooked I is great, but c'mon now, this is Eminem we're talking about. The guy is insane on the mic.

I feel that everybody who is somewhat objective should be able to agree on these points:

Point #1: Eminem has been far more commercially succesful because of his skin colour.

Point #2: Eminem is far less respected amongst hip-hop fans because of his skin colour. And also because of some of his silly pop singles.

In other words: If Eminem was black he would have sold fewer records, but would have been in every hip-hop fan's top 5 in terms of skill. For my money, I think Kendrick is the only active rapper who is technically on the same level as Eminem.
