What makes you consider Eminem the best rapper?

[Cube23]

For example: He is not like 50 Cen showing his everywhere on every occasion... Its rare to see him.. its rare to hear his music ... its strange and amazing at the same time ... He is not rappin about sex, cars, weed, bitches ... mad skills, mad flow!

He rapped about every single one of those things in Relapse (and even in Won't Back Down). Many times.

Dude , you`re such an idiot.
a line or two , is not a whole song.

He did the lame gangsta shit for quite some time..

He's not the best, but he's my favorite because I feel like he used to put so much emotion into his work and with his range of talent, I feel like no other rapper had set foot in the emotional direction as much as he had.

It's hard to say best cause there's so many talented rappers out there, theres certain categories that different rappers excel at so there's too many factors in deciding the best but obviously everyone has the right to have an opinion. The title should just be "Why is Eminem your Favorite Rapper" instead of "Best Rapper" since opinion can't be fact.

There are also certain rappers that excel at everything, but I agree. It really depends on what you find to be most important in an artist's work.

You know, but there is something more... Its not like BBB banger which is lets be honest dumb banger.. maybe its catchy, but dumb

Personal attacks must make you feel smart. He never said whole songs. He just said "rapping about".

hes not

[KillahBee]

I dont think he's the best, but if I did it would be because:

1. Technically, one of the most talented rappers ever

2. He's different to every other mainstream rapper

3. He brought hiphop to a wider audience (how mnay times have you heard people say "I hate rap, but Eminem is ok" ?)

4. SSLP - TES is one of the best streaks for any solo emcee

5. He doesn't have one particular style, he's one of the most versitle rappers ever, not just for subject matter, but to this day he is still switching his flow and delivery up

6. He is constantly sh!tting on people on their own tracks

7. Personally, I can relate to a lot of the stuff he raps about

[Elision]

His lyrical ability.. His passion... His modesty.. He's so far beyond the rap game he's in his own category.

So as to avoid coming off like EminemBase with a 50 paragraph rant, I'll just make it simple:

Lyrics and flow.

Oh, and...

50 Cent ghost-wrote Lose Yourself.

Have you stopped laughing yet? Think about the feeling you get and the thoughts that run through your mind when you read that one little line. That says it all right there.

And yes, I know 50 Cent sucks...but the difference in talent level between the two is so indescribably vast that it gives you an idea of just how brilliant a rapper has to be in order for the argument for their superiority to be made in a non-idiotic fashion.
