Is Em Really The Best Rapper Alive Right Now?

[Blu]

blu r u a blu fan?

I fuck with Below The Heavens but not Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them.

I haven't listened to his solo shit either.

Eminem lost his hunger when he became sober.
I'd honestly say Termanology.
This dude is the definition of UNDERGROUND, lyrically he is a monster.
Otherwise, I'd say Tech N9ne or Hopsin, tbh.

Hopsin 4 me. If you could recreate a modern Eminem that sounds like the older shady and turn him black, you get Hopsin. The most real cat around.

How is Hopsin "real" if he's sounding like older Shady?

What a stupid fucking question.

[adeem]

As of 2012, Taylor Swift is a better rapper than Eminem.

[SoldierShady]

Definitely not. Not at this very moment.

Nuff said.

[master360]

yes, him, nas, jigga and now kendrick

[Slim Fiasco]

The last time he was the best was in '02.

[IWANTURFOOD]

lupe fiasco is really amazing
so is kendrick
but its all a matter of opinions and a different point of views

to me ,, eminem is the best rapper right now
even though 2012 was a bad year for him , it term of bad choice of collabs

but its a " producing " year for him
just wait until his next album he'll show you all once again why he is the best

[IcedSlim Shady]

For me Em is still the best just because nobody (relevant) could diss him. He will eat everybody in the game. He will win against Hopsin,tech, nas, jay, lupe, kendrick...

[EmTV]

Save this thread for when his next solo comes out.

[LK5]

For me Em is the best rapper dead or alive. I just don't enjoy anyone's music as much as his and I'm 100% sure no one will ever top him.

[Trimss]

Hopsin 4 me. If you could recreate a modern Eminem that sounds like the older shady and turn him black, you get Hopsin. The most real cat around.

You like Hopsin for the wrong reasons. That's why people keep calling him an Eminem clone, it's because of people like you.

Hopsin has his own persona, he might have some Slim Shady influences, but all of that became less and less obvious after RAW dropped. He's putting his own character and thoughts in his music. So please, stop liking Hopsin.

[LEVITIKUZ]

I like Hopsin but too many times I just feel like he's a hater and disses to much. Kendrick is just as lyrical as Hopsin but he doesn't bash on other rappers. If I had to pick 5 MCs who are the best alive I would say Lupe, Nas, Kendrick, Macklemore, and Yelawolf.

[Accor]

kendrick is 10x better lyrically than hopsin

[Aslawik]

Seriously, Kendrick Lamar? He made a couple cool songs, but best rapper alive is a little much. I think body of work also plays into the best rapper alive. And Hopsin looks/sounds to cheesy to get into... Chris Webby is good new rapper though, that makes good music.
