Eminem “Best Rapper Alive” VIBE Magazine
VIBE announced Eminem as the winner of the urban mag’s “Best Rapper Alive” competition.
The Detroit MC took the crown as the Original King of Hip-Hop with sixty-nine percent of the fan vote, according to VIBE.
“It’s obviously an honor to have won the fans’ support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive,” Eminem said in a statement Tuesday. “I don’t think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do. But since Vibe’s offering the distinction, hell yeah I’ll accept!”
Check out the complete list of the Best Rappers on Earth in the November issue of VIBE, on newsstands October 21.

Half the people on that list don’t deserve to even be mentioned with names like (Eminem, Mos Def, Common, Nas, Wutang, etc) You mother fuckers had Lil Wayne’s biting ass on the list and soulja boy???? are you fucking kidding me?! Em might be the best rapper alive, but that bracket was weak. Rakim, Mobb Deep, D12, Big Daddy Kane, the rest of wutang, tribe called quest… where were they… they blow paul wall and all that whack southern shit out the fuckin water!

He´s so brillant and talented, he raps bout real life and politics, not like Jay-z and the others, it´s all about diamonds and naked girls…WTF ?
Em we are waiting for your Relapse, in Africa and Europe and all over the world !
Thank you Vibe for crowning Em for such a prize !

its so obvious Em is the best i mean he signed 50 which is a really high paid rapper and all of his albums have been number one and relapse will prolly be the best one hes made also i agree wit some of the other people, soulja boy has some good songs and i like him but hes still a rookie theres no way he could be the best rapper and i dont like paul wall too much either but hey dont be dissin the south chamillionaire is pretty damn good and T.I. is definately top 5

First of all: The guys above me is a retard. soulja Bitch has no good songs, and T.I. is not top 5. Just shut up and listen to some real shit.
As the other guys above me said: the best rappers alive r Eminem, Nas, Mos Def, Jay-Z, just about any one in Wu Tang, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Lupe, Common, Lupe, Rakim(even tho he’s old), Mobb Deep, D12, Jadakiss, Tribe called quest, the only real good southern rapper is Ludacris, Ice Cube, Kanye (before the bitch started to use auto tune. WTF), Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Dr. Dre, Snoop, just to name a few.

U said lupe twice because he deserves it. Eminem is not the best rapper alive. Don’t get me wrong, i love em, but nas, jay-z, and big daddy kane are better lyricist.
I hear people keep saying “the best rapper alive” are they talking bout studio rappers or actual lyricist? Honestly, if u are just going on record sales and popularity then yes em is by far the best rapper alive. If u are talking about lyricist, then there should be another list.

Nas is a god MC; IN HIS OWN CLASS; i mean the illest MC , the best (thug) poet; the most extra ordinary hip hop artist and picture painter; versatile, diverse topics (from politics to love) ; can Em do a track like Ghetto Prisoners)SIMILAR 2 ANYBODY YOU KNOW? + his lyrics/poetry is way too deep to juxtapose to any artist (better Jay); past present and future of hip hop. ILLMATIC is nothing like Marshall Mathers LP…lets cut that crap Eminem is great but bites a lot/took lessons from Nas-go ahead asK him from Nas. he is overrated since he’s white and heavy media and sales are not factors
ooh Nas 4got in ether that Em is his son too>(like a proud dad watchin his only son that made it)

How can the only white boy in the game be the best rapper? Lyrically he’s elite but his flow is weak, plus he ain’t even had a hit in a while. I could name 20 rappers better than Em! Snoop, Nas, Method Man, Ice T, Ice Cube and T.I. to name just a few. Besides that Em is an old ass ‘wigga’ at 36- when Biggie and Pac were both alive they were arguebly the best of that era but they were both in their early 20′s at their peak and still relevant!

To person above? WTF are you saying. Your point is retarded Eminem is old and BIG And PAC were good in their prime……no fucking shit. If BIG and PAC had lived they would have been old too so your point is retarded. Plus I don’t mean to disrespect but I find it hard that your considered the best EVER when you only lived long enough to release 2 albums, its presumptuous to assume they would continue. PAC only talked about how hard it was to be black and BIG never talked about ANYTHING important, just money and girls. Eminem has some of the most mind blowing songs ever that actually touch you emotionally.

^^^^ What the fuck are you saying. So did Big and Pac have songs that touched people emotionally. I’m not hating on Em( He’s absoltuley great!!!) but he’s NOT the Best rapper alive! And I’ll prove it. Listen to BONE THUGS N HARMONY!!! Their the shit! My two favorite ones from the group are Krayzie and Bizzy. If you listen to them your whole perspection will turn around and that goes to you to VIBE!!! They will tear any rapper up alive today and you can bank on it buddy!

first off all eminem has sold more than any other rapper in history not even that do u even listin to rap bone tugs in harmoney blah!!!!!how u going to compare a group of people to 1 person and u cant even understand them they just rap fast and who the hell said pac talked only about how hard it is to be black lol im laughing so hard right now first off i forgot the song brinda has a baby and dear mama and i aint mad at cha is about how hard it is to be black and now back to eminem his a lyricist the greatest lyricist of are time u morons listen to his songs and don’t skim through it the only dog gone rapper to win a osar for a rap song!!!!!!u ppl are idiots even rakim said it eminem is the best rapper and that coming from a legend and doesn’t and eminem doesn’t have to say his the best rapper or fight other rappers to prove it unlike jay-z ,nas,2pac,b.i.g,lil wanye,jadakiss unlike those rappers that his been on songs with and had better lyrics then all of them!!!! he lets his lyrics prove his the best listin to rengade and best rapper alive and welcome to d block and forever and dead wrong and till me who had the best verse.Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?

Come on all you clowns saying Eminem is THE best, shut the fuck up and listen to a REAL Hip Hop Head. The only reason Em was VOTED best rapper alive, is because he is white, and therefore controls the white vote – and we all know more than 100% of his votes come from whiteys. If VIBE had wanted a fair and honest vote, they should have compiled a list of 200 rappers and asked the rappers on the list to select their top 20, and list the top rappers from that list (of course none of the rappers would be allowed to vote for themselves). Now i can’t give a top 20 off the top of my head, but i can name a few who would be in it. Common, Jay-Z (and to that dumbass who said jigga couldn’t rap suck my dick you little bitch), Nas, Reverend William Burks (if you don’t know him you don’t have any place voting or commenting on who the best rapper alive is)…

Em is good but as sum of the eople above have already said he simply isnt as good as Nas, Jay-Z, Method Man, Common, Talib Kweli (not very well known but easily in the top 5 lyricists in the world, Ghetto poet, Wu Tang ( Even Masta Killa who didn’t rap before Wu Tang is a better MC than Em, if you want proof listen to the last verse of The Mystery of Chessboxin, Gangstarr, Pac & Biggie obvs but like the bloke above said, Biggie raps about girls, sex, money and drugs, while Pac raps about being black and problems in the world. Because they are dead they are made out to be better than they were (even though they are better tha 95% of rapper these days), people forget (or don’t know of..) Ol Dirty Bastard, his rapping style is unique and no-one else can come close to it(Andre 3000pioneers his own style aswell). Lst of great rap songs to check out : Wu Tang Clan – C.R.E.A.M, Winter Warz( OMG Cappadonna is immense), 7th Chamber, Protect Ya Neck, Triumph. Nas – Ether, One Mic, Jay-Z – Hard Knock Life (This is not a joke), Eminem – Stan, Sing For The Moment, Tupac – Dear Mama, Notorious B.I.G – Juicy, Talib Kweli – Get By, Ice Cube – It Was A Good Day………And my vote for best rapper in the world is a tie between, Method Man and Nas.

Em is sick though. That dude who said Gangstarr was sick, i truthfully think his rhymes are kinda weak. lil wayne is aight but he is just wayy to over rated. anyone who has to say they’re the best rapper alive, isn’t. Nas is on em’s level though as far as lyrics go. I like Nas more than Em cuz i can relate more but Em’s lyric combinations are just to ill.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH! man I love these dudes that say he is the best rapper alive when he is doing Rock right know. He is basic selling out and all yall wayne dick riders let him. You can’t really give someone the best rapper alive title couse they are knew rapper coming every day. And yall that say Lil wayne is the hardest working rapper alive………LOOK!!! the dude puts music out like many tracks at the time………but he sux at them. Every dude can put material out there and say ”ey I out my whole soul on all those tracks…….but it only gone 1 minute….but you guys can still rock to it” you see that how he does! He is not even the hardest working couse you have to put out good material every fucking time! here is one line from him ”swimming like I was snorkling, swimming like I was a dolpinhe” is that good?is that showing talent? keep in mind he is laughing with that gay voice 20 times in the middle of just those words. And that makes me think of another thing. I know dudes are accepting more random peeps in hip hop but the dude kissed a man….and the excusse is ”he is my daddy” it just says FAKE and GAY all writting on it!!! BUT if you had to give the title and is still putting stuff out there that is NAS!!!!. Some say maybe Jay-z…..I think we all know how that beef gone and who won…cmon. And eminem is basicly saying in his track ” till I collapse”and gave is 1-10 best rappers and Nas was over him and he is right. People plz just we trying to keep Hip Hop alive more than 50 yearsss!! without Em dropping his 2 albums or Nas dropping his ”untitled, and Distan relatives and jay with his BP3” 2008-2010 would be hip hops WORST year even more garbage than 2001!! if you wan’t someone rapping about all this just listen to Joe buddens ”WHO” if you are one of those that listen to lyrics. EVERYTING HE SAYS IS RIGHT THERE…..EVERYTHING!!!

Eminem hands down d best alive. I mean come on if he is doing a collaboration with another rapper for instance(Jayz,Lil Wayne,50,Dmx etc.)he always brings his best. I listen to renegade over and over just because eminem’s part was so ill and Drop the world was great probably d best for 2010 but Eminem killed it. He made Lil Wayne looked like an amateur Lil Wayne’s aight but lots of times his metaphors don’t make any sense like he’s high when he makes his songs. Em is a lyrical genius how he comes up with the things he says still amazes me he can also speed up and slow down the tempo in a song some rappers lyrics don’t match the beat in a song and they sound out of sync and that’s important so don’t hate on him cuz of his skin color he’s worked hard to get where he’s at now.

Eminem is the best. He is been rapping for like 10 years and is still great. His songs have MEANING. Listen to “like toy soldiers” and mockingbird”. He raps about things that matter like life. And for all the lil wayne and kayne fans THEY AUTO TUNE THEIR VOICES!!!. Em writes his own amazing lyrics and just cause hes white doesnt mean he cant rap. Thats like saying a blakc man cant sing rock music.

Wow. Jay-z better than eminem? wait is that a joke? bone thugs n harmoney better than eminem? another joke i see. And one of u said eminem was weak when it comes to flow? are u fuckin retarded in the ears? omg so many dumbasses that flood these sites. Eminem is the most clever, attention getting, intense, and epic rapper that ever walked the face of the earth. And now u people stuck on the past rappers cant accept the fact that he was named best rapper alive? fuckin deal with it cuz its the motherfuckin truth. Eminem became as famous as he is becuz he released a message, he had meaning behind what he had to say wether or not he was talkin about killing people or how much he loved his daughter. He made the biggest impact and left the biggest mark in hip hop and for that he deserves more attention and more respect than he gets right now. But its alright, haters are exactly what made him who he is other than his fucked up life.

You can never say who is the best rapper alive. because no one man can be the best rapper. Any rapper that you think is the best there is somone out there who has a different opinion. You people on here hate lil Wayne so much yet you don’t realize lil wayne has started a new ere of Hip Hop. YOu may not like is but the game has changed. Yes Em is a great rapper but his last two albums havn’t had many good song and his lyrics are not as strong as they use to be. Half of the rappers you people are naming haven’t ut out good music in years so when you thnik of best rapper alive think of the present and remeber its your opinion and your opinion means absolutly nothing unless you are going out and buying these artist music. Lil Wayne is the present Sure he lost much respect for his rockstar album but if payed any attention to hip hop in the last few years lil Wayne Developed a uniqe style that is being copied by all mainsteam rappers today. Em great but in MY OPINION he is definetly not the best rapper alive.

MOST of the people saying em is the best is white. I noticed white people do that ALL the damn time. Look at Elvis. White people gave him the title and he stole shit from US. In the end its things we create jazz, rap, rock, rnb etc and white people come along and steal it. ALL while saying that white person that came along is the best. Then we usually go on to something different and then white people follow right behind. If it had to be a animal associated with them it would be something like a golfer. golfers dont care to make their own holes if some are already there. Its like white people. We make them they come. I am tired of hearing its not a white and black thing because its a damned lie and i am not biting my tongue. History proves it and aint shit change. But as ALWAYS white people will say LIE and say its not that. But they have always been hypocrites. Mos Def is deep and says smart things and the problem with that is white people are to dumb to get it or lack experience to even know what he is talking about. Someone was trying to compare Em to mos and used ems line “If i did not become a rapper i would be a rapist with a jason mask on”.
Yea white folks will stand by that crap all damned day. Fakers, swagger jakers, thief’s, perpetrators, etc. All of those fit them. Look t how they are even trying to dress now lol. They even try to walk and talk just like us.

Shit Eminem is fire but there is alot of blatantly wrong shit yall are putting up here, its hilarious to read tho. I mean Royce Da 5’9 even could hang with Em back in the day, and everyone knows he bit his style from Cage, that shit is common knowledge.
Damn no one even thinks to mention CANIBUS? i mean sure he cant be the greatest alive, but hes not chopped liver. Much respect to Nas, but JayZ has had just as much if not more impact.
And anyone still hating on Kanye has to dead that. Just forget 808s ever happened, its not a rap album, its some off the wall shit. BUMP TWISTED FANTASY its the dopest shit dropped in 2010.

The lyrics r just epic, and did u notice the way he performs stan’s emotions changing throw the song ? Em makes u feel that cassette stan recorded was real, and it just was put on the song.
Lose yourself is so deep and passionate, and the words on the beat are just awesome. Also he’s teaching us through what he lived.
Em teach us.
I have to take 3 psiquiatric pills a day to make my brain work as most of yours for things I had to live in my childhood.
For pp like me Em’s like a best friend, or a mentor. Its like when u are down u r not alone Em with ya to share your shit, and he takes some out for ya.
I’m sure he helped a lot of kids not to suicide. THATS HUGE.
Besides that its not possible to pick 1 as “THE BEST” but u can make a group. And Em’s is gonna be on the group of THE BESTS OF ALL TIME for sure, u can deny that.
I’m form Argentina sry for my bad english hope u understand what I meant.
