But no way he is the best. Rap is not only a lyrical part, and Em lacks the rest.Its a pointless thread since there is fuckin lot of rappers better than shady.Def racial undertones. And on top of it the dudes he's throwing in there are ridiculous. Hip hop cred is dwindling with this fella.

You're always with the cracka this cracka that, wigger etc. I haven't bought an Em album in over 10 years, and there are many mc's that I much prefer to listen to. But you're talking out of your ass with a lot of those in your list.

The problem with this is there is no real context for comparison. Artists that are truly "great" to me are those that are too unique to be compared on that level. I remember making a similar point when people were acting like Snoop wasn't all that when compared to Pac and I'll say it again, it's on some real apples and oranges kind of shit. If you're a true fan of Eminem and what he does as an artist, you're not going to consider Nas or Raekwon an acceptable substitute or vice versa. If we're talking about lyrics, flow, songwriting skills, musical catalogs, work ethic, sales... these at least something tangible to the debate but to just pose it as who is "better" is a little bit vague for a discussion on artists because there are so many elements to what makes each individual one great. I'd argue each one mentioned is probably better than Eminem in some form of artistic function but also can make the point that Em probably has something on each of them as well. The more times go on, I just find myself subscribing less and less to the theory that hip-hop or music itself can only have one GOAT or even that list of five in particular order. The greats are the greats. Pac. Biggie. KRS. Scarface. Raekwon. Eminem. Nas. I think it's a little disconcerting that a lot of Eminem fans overlook equally talented artists but I don't think it's fair to discredit Em's talents to compensate. Whether he sold records or not, he is a great artist. Case closed.
Mykestro - the way he constructs consecutive lines to almost copletely rhyme over and over is unreal. Might sound a little static sometimes but from a strictly technical standpoint, it's amazing.
lmfao this thread turned out awesome
Everyone opinion of "better" is different. If the thread starter means better as in "more lyrical" tyhen he is a fucking retard but if he means better as in has made better songs or better albums or the like then i can understand. Only rappers that i think are more lyrical then Em would be Crooked i or Chino Xl. Maybe Raskass or Del. Yep Pun, G rap, etc But i mean iam probably a bigger fan of Snoop Dogg that i am of Eminem so i mean whos better? I like Snoop better overall but lyrically its obvious Em's way better.
