Best rapper alive?

[Sammich]

Being white in an industry dominated by blacks, he never would have been seen if he didnt battle.

Someone post up the Eminem ABC freestyle. That was classic.

you mean battle in the industry or when he was in the '8 mile' lifestyle?

feel Busta and twista should be a bit higher up the list, and DMX a bit farther down.

i dont think so...i've related more to DMX than twista and busta...personal preference tho

ahhhh fair enough. I just like Busta's flow, and twista is sharp as well. Cant relate to DMX ha and his style is uniquely aggravating

Relating to a rapper isnt always a good thing. I think rappers get too much credit for being "real" and not enough credit for being entertainers. Busta is a great example..... he doesnt have a 10th the street cred as other rappers, but he's 10x the performer as a lot of them. Most of his songs are talking about absolutely nothing..... but they were entertaining as shit. Busta was also a king of the now extinct music video era.

I agree with that list, feel Busta and twista should be a bit higher up the list, and DMX a bit farther down.

I was listening to Twista back in the early 90's when he was still calling himself Tung Twista. I had several "Chi-Bangin" mixtapes with a lot of Twista, Psycho Drama, Snipaz, D.A. Smart.

One of my favorite songs.

Both really, but mainly back in the '8 mile' times.

Yes. Twista is up there in my book.
