Eminem da best cause he can do hooks, sing, do hooks, and sing!

I can't even imagine what the Eminem section would look like if he indeed was your idol.

NO ONE! EMINEM IS THE GOAT!

Eminem is very good at it but he isn't the only emotional rapper, let only the best.
Joe Budden is probably better at emotional music than Em.

What I wanna know is why the OP keeps making like 3-4 threads almost everyday...

Nobody that I have personally heard comes close.

I've never heard such an effortless combination of technical craft, attention to detail and yet... totally naturalistic conversational, realistic, true-to-life lyricism as in Em's best emotional work.

It's like he's just spewing his feelings and rhymes are happening by accident, constantly.

Aside from his technical prowess... I've never heard such bare-bones, right to the knuckle truth or self-analysis as him at his best. And his delivery is... it's like he's a voice actor. "Kim", sounds real.

I've heard other rappers trying to be emotional or write introspective content but, it feels cheesy, and contrived. And the lyrics feel stretched / forced and unnatural.

So, I can't name one, that I know of.

2Pac, as you said, is the only one... I can think of where, he's releasing emotion and energy and it feels real, and forceful. Rather than embarrassing and 'off', or forced / cheap. But, he didn't have as many dimensions in his character, as much humour, as many shades. Eminem is better.

Xzibit is an honourable mention actually, X has a spark in that area.

Kanye's music (ie production) says what his limited (but by no means poor) lyricism cannot. I think he makes very emotional music though, so I'd say him.

wowowow, noone has mentioned atmosphere?

2pac. He's number 1 in that category I think. That was his niche imo.

Ja Rule had a couple of emotional songs. There was one about crying. When I cry, you cry, we cry, together. Shit, I cried.

by **The Shady Virus** » Apr 3rd, '12, 13:25

Tupac and J Cole. Still put Em ahead though.

I feel as though the OP doesn't actually want to find rappers that are better than Eminem. He just wants to point out how good Em is. So I'm not going to bother listing artists

You're right in assuming that. This is the case with most of his threads.
