    there's alot of greats alive...i mean Eminem of course, Andre 3K, some up and coming folks that's going to shake the RAP world to it's core and bring back hip hop...Jay-Z (i know i'm about to get flack for naming him), Nas (although i'm not a big fan i respect flows) Cassidy is a very well slept on rapper IMHO, his lyrical metaphors and punch lines exceed that of many...not to mention Cam'ron, alot of people sleep on him calling his flow 'bubble gum rap' but if you ask me it's fukin ingenious...if you separate the seemingly simple rap and listen to what he's saying and he's able to 'construct it' to a seemingly overly simplified lyric..mind blowing. his earlier work is way easier for those of this generation, or any generation, but the boy is nice

    i think Em could go in the top 5 alive...top 10 dead or alive

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Skorcher again.

    I've always said Eminem, simply because his songs have true meaning. He raps out stories rather than shit about drugs and strippers that rhyme.

    to top it off, they ended up being hits. then his battles...dear lord!!!! Em is a monster that every hip hop artist and rapper highly respects and realizes if you battle him, you better come correct. Jay and Nas arent necessarily battle rappers, as their battle showed, but Nas proved to be better at it....but if Nas and Em ever went at it...my $.02 is going on Em

    Totally agree with this. I've never been a huge fan of Nas or Jay-Z, though of the two it would be Nas. Andre 3 stacks kills all that he comes near. Cee-lo used to be, is, and always be the shit despite his abrupt change in styles over the last decade.

    Depends..

    Jay z has been the smartest.. Nas the poetic..had the potential to be the best of all time.. And was a game changer, DMX.. But the best of all time is Fred Durst.. Bah..

    Everlast waxed Eminem.. Honestly.. I dont even listen to rap music anymore.. Is embarrasing, now, more than ever..

    I never denied anything about his lyrics. I laughed at him being a G.O.A.T. I personally have never fallen on the Fem bandwagon. Never bought/downloaded anything from the dude. Is he good? Apparently a lot of people think so. Do I think he's good? He's ok. Do I think he's a G.O.A.T.? Nope. To me he's boring, he sounds the same and all his tracks sound the same. Most of the people who do think that didn't grow up throughout the history of rap and never really listened to the genre before him.

    Best is pretty subjective...but in my opinion..

    Nas or Jay Z.

    Has no one ever listen to or heard of krs-one, eric b., rakim, big daddy kane, marley marl, kool g rap and dj polo? The fresh prince was even nice. Eminem though really? LMBAO.... You have to skip two whole eras to get to Em and that's who you chose...

    Eminem is good.. But his stuff gets repetetive.. I cant just chilled to Eminem stuff... Reminds me of cartoons..
