Is Eminem in your top 5 rappers of all-time list?

[Innovation]

Yes he is in my top 5. I rank him number 1.

1999-2002 was of course his best days. What rapper would have touched Eminem in his prime? Sing For The Moment, Lose Yourself, Rock Bottom, Way I Am, Stan, Criminal.. I mean the list of classic tracks he made within that time period just goes on and on.

It's thrown around a lot, but SSLP, MMLP and TES. All three are really considered classics - why would you not put a rapper who has three classic albums, all producing various hip-hop classic tracks within your top 5?

I judge rappers by how good they are NOW.

Perhaps you shouldn't post in the "top 5 rappers of ALL-TIME list" then?

How good Em is now effects his placement on my all-time list.

Of course it does, but that's not what you said. You just put up your "Top 5 rappers right now" list.

[Guess_Who]

88% yes
12% no

but it seems that the 12% are more noisy ...

Just to blow everyone elses mind I did in fact vote yes, the greatness of his work from 97-03 & the few songs I like after that kills his shitty work from 04-11. Then again the only place that his shitty songs really exists to me is on this forum & when people praise it in real life (someone told me that Mockingbird is his best song ever before , surprisingly enough it was a girl) , aside from that I forget all about it & when I do listen to Eminem I listen to his dope songs.

I personally don´t give a fuck is he is in your top 5 or top 50 .But its funny how defensive get some of you.When I asked master chief why is he is on this forum if eminem is his tenth favourite,I asked for real,I wasn´t attacking him,as I said if he was my tenth favourite artist I wouldnt be here...

But why do you care if they're still here or not? How does it affect your life in any way? Why does it matter to you if they don't like Eminem yet they're still here? Huh? Well?

Number one, always will be


2. Mobb Deep
3. 2Pac

5. Obie Trice

Em is the best rapper I ever heard.

I thought about speaking my mind over some posts in this thread, but fuck it, I won`t. If you find important to be "relevant" or some kind of a big deal here on this forum, than the virtual you is even more sad than the real you.

[xxTrigger1989xx]

[Revtone]

[Devil'sAdvocate]

What's there to justify?
I prefer those 5 rappers over Eminem.

you're out of your fuckin' mind for sayin' that shit...just because you probably wanna look like a hard core rap fan and shit...well,that's the situation in Croatia mostly...go back to school son and learn somethin' bout hip hop,cos not puttin' Em in at least top 10 is just being fuckin' ignorant...

you stupid son?

[Unscarred]

I...I think he's trolling? Fuck, I can't even tell

Anyways, yes, Em is in my top five and he's my number rapper of all time. I've listened to his stuff since he debuted with My Name Is and his music has been a big part of my young childhood to my late teens.

There will never be another artist in the world that I'll follow so closely.

This

[EminemBase]

I discovered more rappers so nah he's not my favorite anymore.

It goes:

1. D12
2. 50 Cent
3. 2Pac
4. Proof (RIP)
5. Dr. Dre

Honorable mentions: Yelawolf & Obie Trice.

Eminem would be my number #10 pick.

This is what I'm saying about people who are paranoid and go out of there way to not look like 'Stans' lmao. Because... to have D12 and Dr. Dre in your top 5 rappers of all-time list...

And not Em?

Come on man, you're trying a bit hard there. You trying to say everybody in D12 is a better lyricist than Eminem or that they make more compelling music without him... ?

And as for Dr. Dre, Eminem writes his fucking lyrics when he raps with him. He's not a rapper. He's a producer. And as for 50... come on. Seriously, you think 50 Cent is a better lyricist, and rapper (flow, ideas, concepts, everything) than Eminem?

Anyway, mine would be...

1. Eminem
2. Mos Def
3. Nas
4. Redman
5. Xzibit
