EMINEM

people voting for a "BETTER RAPPER" for Kanye compared to EM???
even TODAY(Present time) Eminem is a better rapper(in terms of every aspect of emceeing) than Kanye.
New Eminem is very underrated.
(Always weighed down by people due to his past work smh)

Polls are dumb anyway, I'd rather not have a favorite artist/rapper, I respect a lot of people's music.

^Well said (@name). Also, Em's rapping abilities are so bad it basically prevents me from enjoying/playing the songs. That godawful delivery with accents and shouting is the first thing to take into consideration. Kanye's flow on the other hand is perfect. A great balance of pace, emotion, and playing with his voice. I don't know about you, but I consider songwriting as a part of rapping abilities, and out of the last 30 songs Em's done, only Deja Vu, The Warning, and Going Through Changes are kinda top-notch. So yeah, add the idiotic punchlines to that, and what you get is sloppiness.

A rapper to me, shouldn't just make a good verse but also make a good song, and on those basis Kanye has been ahead of Em ever since 2004.

And I'm not saying this so that you change your opinion, but since many of you are wondering how can Kanye possibly be over Em, there you go.

My vote goes for Kanye for obvious reasons.

That being said, I encourage people to vote against Eminem either on this or the upcoming poll where Eminem is, because if he's still in the poll he will win, which is absurd on an Eminem forum while Eminem clearly isn't on the list of top 10 rappers of today .. at all.

I understand that you guys despise Kanye and hate his guts like any typical member in TRShady would, so if you won't approve of this for closet-reasons, do it in the next poll.

This is of course optional as I have no authority to push or force members to do that otherwise I'd restart the entire poll, but I'm asking you politely for the sake of an entertaining poll without a cliche bet that most will bet millions of their dollars on cause it's an easy win, it'll be like Lose Yourself winning in an Elimination game, how corny would that be?

Im just sayin', maybe y'all should spice it up a bit, since everybody knows what will happen with this poll .. We don't want that. Consider Eminem a winner in your head, but he should be removed for adding that required spice.

But what if we ACTUALLY feel that Eminem is better than Kanye? In our opinions we think Em is a better rapper...while you don't. And that's fine but why tell people not to vote for Em? That's like asking a lot of people on this site to lie.

He literally explained why in the post you quoted.

I agree with name
there's no suspense on who's going to win. its obvious.
Em should have not been included in the first place.

Next round i.e. Em vs Nas/Lupe is the thread's last chance of redemption. I mean, Eminem is my favorite artist as well but be objective for fuck's sake. If you like Em more than Nas it doesn't mean that he's better than him now. Make a comparison of their output in the last few years and be reasonable.

[TRSL]

I like Kanye more nowadays so vote goes to Yeezy

[xnoxiousx]

Were voting on whos the better rapper right? Not whos are favorite so that means eminem loses there is no way hes better than nas as a rapper unless your a fanboy.

You know Em's gonna win. If he beats Kanye he'll beat Lupe. The whole tournament a no-contest from the get go.

Somebody needs to do this again, properly. And by properly I mean no Eminem, and the users get to vote on who should be included.

Em is the best rapper ever, in my opinion. I don`t hate Kanye, I just don`t like his music. Proper choice of the best rapper today should be without Eminem? Why? He is not a rapper? If you go to some Kanye forum and make the same poll, people would wote for him and he would win. So?
This thread is full of stupid posts. And an open call for the famous "You delusional Stans are so blind and you dickryde Eminem...blah blah...Stans are annoying...Em has the worst fans...". Like I said, Eminem also has the worst haters. I`ll go and bump Lose Yourself now, THE BEST RAP SONG I EVER HEARD.
