Irv Gotti — “Eminem Is The Best Rapper Alive?” (VIDEO)
Irv Gotti recently addressed Eminem’s placement on VIBE’s “Best Rapper Alive” list and questioned the rapper’s emcee skills as compared to Jay-Z and Ja Rule.
Ok, we were with you on Jay, Irv, but you’d rank Ja Rule above Em? Blasphemy!
Claiming his opinion is not based on their previous beef, Irv explained his gripe in an interview with MTV News.
“Vibe did a thing and they had him as the No. 1 rapper,” Gotti said. “Shit like that kinda pisses me off. You know why? Because let’s take Eminem’s records. Watch my analogy. Eminem is a great artist, no doubt. He puts words together, he’s witty, a smart lyricist, a great lyricist. But how can we say the guy is the best rapper alive? Look at Hov…I been to battles with [DMX], Jay and Ja, that was some real shit. Homie, you wouldn’t been able to survive…I say take Eminem, and let him say ‘Hard Knock Life.’ Still hot. Now, let’s have Jay-Z say the ‘We Made You’ song. They would laugh him out the fucking building…It would be over.”

MTV got rid of good rappers like Canibus, Mountain Brothers, KRS One, by 2001 all good rappers were wiped out from MTV and replaced by Southern rappers who have horrible English this allowed Eminem to seem to be better because he has better lyrics than a Lil Jon or Little Wayne.This allowed a generation of kids to grow up hearing bad black rappers and EM, of course they are going to think that he is better than anyone.
