Eminem's top 9

[TheShadyest]

Some of slaughterhouse is probably on list now..

[RichardDiNozzo]

Don't care, but I know T.I. is one of them (from his interviews).

T.I. in top 9? No way.
T.I. is overrated but makes good music, the Paper Trail is fantastic.

[Jaz]

I think everyone saying this isn't his list is just mad that someone they like isn't on there.

[Jay-19]

Who cares....it's a good list....it's the guys he liked....he didn't say "here's a list of the best rappers ever"

Fucking word.

He just says he got a list, never that it's the list of his favorite rappers. But just a list.

At the 45st grammys when he won best rap album for TES

he said the list goes like this but it's not in this order

Run DMC
The Beastie Boys
L L Cool J
Kool G Rap
Master Ace
Rakim
Big Daddy Kane
Dr Dre and all of NWA
KRS One
Treach from Naughty by Nature
Nas
Biggie
Tupac
Jay-z

imo that's a better list but I think he probably has a larger list of people he actually really respects like 30 and when he says his favourites he just picks some from that list so those 9 are probably on it and the rest of these to and he just picked the ones that fitted.

^Thats the just the people who have influenced him. It's by no means his best rappers.

And that top 9 on TIC was probably a selection of his favourite, that rhymed well.
