Who's the Best Rapper Alive????

[benner410 10+ year member]

The only reason I agree someone with the award, is the sole fact that eminem doesn't rap about "bling" "hoes" and "getting crunk". He raps about real-life stuff, his life, and his lyrics contain passion. Even if it is violent and crude, it's real.

Mos Def has to be at the top of the list.....don't forget him

And I agree with Talib Kweli being up there too.

Talib Kweli's first album was with Mos Def and that album is great.

I agree that Big Boi is up there pretty high also....

Don't know if I can consider anyone as "The Best"

Mainstream I would have to say eminem, but there are a number of under ground artists that are as good

The only way he could be at the top if he quits the shit that he's putting out now and rap like he did on the Knuck if You Buck remix.
