No other rapper in the history of the current era can do this*
Eminem is fantastic and the last of his kind
In most situations Id agree. I love old school rap ranging from NWA to Wu Tang but I can safely say that no other rapper in history can rap with this kind of wordplay and complex rhyming. Not Biggie, not Pac, not Jay-Z, not Nas.
Immortal technique Defo up there as well although more underground. Uk hip hop also has had some great artists with exquisite word play and rhyming though not sure how much people here are familiar with. The likes of Lowkey, Akala, Wretch32, Tony D of poisonous poets, scorzayzee to name a few.
Generally speaking though, Eminem is just on another planet. His Marshall Mathers EP is one of my favs of all times
Looks like Pac is really underrated here.Eminem is amazing though def top 5 of all time in my personal opinion.
Pac is one of my favourites but his flow wasnt as amazing as Biggies. In terms of technichal skill Pac is nowhere near Em but hes still easily in my top 4 rappers ever. That list keeps fluctuating but Em always remains on top.
One needs to remember the era he was in underground was picking up, 2paclaypse now is rated as inspiration by most big rappers including Em and Nas.
Biggie was great too after watching Luke cage i actually back to listening some of his hits.
And sorry [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] can't really bear the UK ones mate ,they ain't rawww enough.
1) Eminem
2) Jay-Z
3) Nas
4) Pac
5) Biggie
Whats your top 5?
I don't have a top mate but surprisingly its the same and i rate them all highly.
something like:
90's
Tupac,Dre,Biggie,Nas
2000's
Eminem,Jayz,Nas(again)
2010's
Kanye,Jayz(again),Lil Wayne,Eminem
And upcoming i would say Drake but he is soo I don't know how to say but "whitewashed"?
Good list apart from Nas in 2000s (didnt like his work in this decade apart from stillmatic), Drake and Lil Wayne, both of whom I dont rate.
Yes there was a time when I listened to Immortal technique a lot and even still occasionally listen to a song or two by him. Some of his lyrics make the hair behind your neck stand up. Never heard British rap so cant comment. Id say in terms of pure skill the only ones who come close to Eminem are Biggie, Jay-Z and Nas. Jay-Z. If you listen to Jay-Z's first album, "Reasonable Doubt", you will realize that it is probably the most underrated rap album ever. Its easily his best album and Its sad that Jay-Z, while still a good rapper could never make something that good again. Same with Nas who started off with the amazing "Illmatic" but fell away. Eminem on the other hand, just keeps killing it.The perfect rapper. Yes The Marshall Mathers LP is also my favourite rap album of all time closely folllowed by Eminem's own Slim Shady LP and Eminem Show.

Would have The Game in my list over lil Whiner any day lol. Documentary a modern day classic not many albums like that in last 10-15 years
Immortal is just a beast with deep hard hitting lyrics. From the uk ones I mentioned Lowkey he did a song with immortal couple years back called 'voices of the voiceless' class tune, if not check it out. He is also a politically motivated rapper like IT with some deep lyrics and wordplay. Also agree with you skill wise I would have BIG after Eminem and then Nas. Not a fan of Jay z more of a nas fan nas schooled him with ether class record lol. Jay puts me off but yes he was class back in the day and I have heard couple tracks of that album. Nas illmatic was legendary a hip hop classic. One off. Em is just a beast on the mic no one like him my fav alongside BIG and Pac
Biggie and 2Pac are better than Eminem. I always thought Eminem was overrated.
There's another rapper ya"ll have overlooked, lets see if you can guess who
Clue: He's one hell of a writer
Have you heard stuff like Stan or Beautiful? Or are you basing this off a song he made with Rihanna
Hmm Ice cube?

I loved that and how it used Dido's break, she made for a great ft artist on the track; am not sure but doesn't she appear in the video as well
Question, Eminem album going to be released soon then I guess will you guys actually be buying it or pursue other avenues It's strange isn't it but people still buy music even in this era, I guess it's convenient to stick a CD in your car while you're driving but then again you could probably make one yourself
Out of current artist eminems album is the only one I actually buy. In Pakistan of course I buy a lot of albums since they are all pirated but I have bought all of eminems albums starting from relapse and I bought the deluxe edition of mmlp 2
Why do you buy it when you can download them
It's not that expensive and I just like to collect his albums.
Lil Whiners best moments come as a featuring artist, my life by the game ft lil wayne was great
Lol I remember a poster here once said lol Wayne is better than Eminem. lol Wayne is absolute trash and one of the reasons for raps decline. Can't even call this joke a rapper
Yeah that's probably the only record I enjoyed and it weren't even his and defo his most memorable which says something

In order of the rappers who I listen to the most and kinda my favourite to although I don't like ranking these guys:
1. Pac
2. Biggie
3. Ice Cube/Eminem
4. NWA
5. Puff Daddy (No love for Puff? )
6. Snoop Dog
7. Damien Marley
8. Akala
One of the best in last 5 years:
Diddy is not a rapper. He has some good songs but we all know he didn't write any of them.
He had potential, unfortunate that he didn't build on that release. Having said that most artists in main stream hip hop are a Lil Wayne rip off, he was the first of his kind whom spearheaded the baqwas era even though I don't think Wayne individually is as awful as he is made out to be.
The way he started as a feature artist he should have stayed on that vibe imo, I remember when he first come on the scene feat on tracks with destinys child and also Bobby Valentino which were hits. Haven't heard of a track from him for years tbh lol avoid him at all costs
Also does anyone know what happened to Lupe Fiasco is he still putting music out?
) You got it on the first guess, the clue gave it away
I got that on me wall to like Cottonmouth did
Supa Hot Fire, best rapper alive. All these pretenders are nothing.
But he's not a rapper.
