EMINEM BEST RAPPER ALIVE?

[mlk93]

The readers of Vibe vote for Enimem as the best rapper alive what do u think?

i think he´s a great rapper when he´s doing real songs instead of that corny shit. but best of all time? hell no, when he´s got the catalog of an Ice Cube,Scarface,KRS-One,Nas,Rakim and guys like that he could be up for consideration. and lyrically i don´t think he´s anywhere near a guy like Kool G Rap.

I think if the poll was done in '03 I'd agree with it. After Encore, Em shouldn't be considered best anything. But let me clarify when I say that in '03 Eminem was the best rapper alive. That does not mean that career vs career, or all time. It means in the moment. Shaq is the greatest centre of the last ten years but by no means is he the best centre right now, so if someone asks who is the greatest centre alive that to me means that who right now is the best at that position. It's not Shaq right now even though he's still alive and still playing.

Eminem in '03 was better than anyone who was rapping at that time. Was he better than Illmatic Nas or Amerikkka's Cube? Who cares if he was or wasn't. The issue is whether he was better than '03 Nas and '03 Cube.


I won't speak for '08 anyone because I really don't listen anymore.
