Em's 4th in Complex's Greatests Rappers of the Last 5 Years

[Kill You]

That does remind me, the fact that Kendrick isn't even on here renders this list invalid.

He's 9th

[Cinderella Stan]

1. Eminem
2. Kendrick
3. Nas

the last 5 years ? no .. Kendrick is number one imo

Yes, the last 5 years. While I wouldn't mind if Kendrick was put at number one (he's fucking great), I really think Em was the best in that period. Actually, the only rapper right now that I don't mind being considered better than Em is Kendrick. I like Kanye too, but no way he's number 1, Relapse>MBDTF, Recovery>Yeezus, Recovery=>MBDTF, that's how I see it.

[Flamez]

lol this is sad.

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Why does everyone care so much about these lists, I could careless if they put Eminem @ number 100 or if they put Nicki at number one.... It doesn't matter how these lists look, people will always bitch and try to say that they have their own list that's better.

Just accept the list and move on.

I don't think anybody here really cares about this lists
It's just nice to comment on

Got you
Gucci is above him, man
Disgusting

[Kill You]

Eww though that truly is disgusting, fuck this list fo realz.

[Mr Change]

This is funny. I have nothing more to say, complex is poisoning this world more and more every day.

[Sofi1993]

"I Listen To RELAPSE And Notice How Much Of A Good Rapper I'm Not." Haha

Ugh I honestly hate Kanye and Nicky on number 3?

[ringoffirejrc]

Nicki ahead of Em? That's fucked. She doesn't deserve to be anywhere near him, never mind ahead of him.

[The Shady Virus]

LOL @ Gucci Mane making the list.

Em, Kendrick, Cole, and HOV deserve spots. The other 6 are a stretch.

The subject is "greatest rappers"....so tell me how Kanye fits in this category within the last 5 years? Oh...that's right. He doesn't.

As a HUGE fan of Kanye's early work, and even a fan from a couple songs off MBDTF and Yeezus...I'll never understand why people ride his dick so hard. His abilities outside of producing are less than average...he can't sing without help from auto-tune, and his rhymes are elementary at best.

It's a shame someone like Kanye gets so much shine, when there is talent like Big KRIT out there getting slept on.

[NextEpisode]

Rick Ross at #5 and Gucci Mane at #7

Should be #1 and #2, imo.

[Rattle1]

We're talking about the greatest rappers, not the best ! They're taking mainstream success into account. Kany West was involved in different projects (WTT, MBDTF, Yeezus, Cruel Summer), Drake has the record of most #1 hits ever, you can't expect kdot, cole, Nas and Eminem to be in thetop 5 when J Cole first studio album was only released in 2011, Kendrick first studio album was only released last year and Eminem hasn't released anything in years.
