best rappers alive?

<p>who do you think are the best rappers alive? </p>

<p>Eminem, Jay-Z, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Lupe Fiasco, Nas, Andre 3k, TI, Common, The Game </p>

<p>i love how eminem won the best rapper alive title from Vibe and then he said something like “I don’t think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do." </p>

<p>I think he’s right, but i’m still gonna try to rank them… </p>

<li>Eminem, Nas<br></li>
<li>Jay-Z, Andre 3k </li>
<li>Lil Wayne(love wayne haha), TI, Ludacris </li>
<li>Lupe, Common </li>
</ol>

<p>

</p>

<ul>
<li>till i collapse </li>
</ul>

<p>seriously i think em is the best alive… if he was black he would be tupac, BIG esque </p>

<p>what yall think???</p>

<p>They're all legit...title of 'best rapper alive' seems to go with 'whose the hottest rapper right now'...and with that Id say Weezy and TI. But once Jigga's album drops next year...watch out.</p>

<p>Common and Nas are really good but they never get those hit singles really. Although this new stuff Common's got is fire.</p>

<p>Where's Kanye on your list?</p>

<p>i dont know. i dont feel like kanye can be titled a 'rapper'. i like him and his songs, but he's not a rapper like nas and jay-z</p>

<ol>
<li>Celph Titled</li>
<li>Doap Nixon</li>
<li>Chief Kamachi</li>
<li>Jus Allah</li>
<li>Adrock</li>
<li>Mickey Avalon. juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding.</li>
</ol>

<p>seriously though, all mainstream rappers are trash.</p>

<p>^eh i guess that's your opinion </p>

<p>i guess it comes down to your definition of a "good" rapper... entertainment, lyrics, flow, beat.... although i think the rappers i listed are the best alive... even if they are the most popular in some cases. common, andre 3k, and nas aren't "mainstream" and eminem is white haha.</p>

<p>oh hey guys whats up its me, every annoying college freshman who listens to indie rap, ever. did you know rap used to be called "hip hop," back in teh day. it was so much more authentic then, it was like urban poetry. here check out this guy busdriver you'll think hes dope, wait, where you ladies going?? dont you want to hear the new anticon compilation...</p>

<p>etc. etc.</p>

<p>hm. that's funny because i never said any of that stuff. why don't you listen to some of the rappers i listed before you go off and label them as "indie rap" and associate them with anticon records.</p>

<p>Common and Luda.</p>

<p>Werd to that, a milli</p>

<p>Hell yeah nerd rap dogg because the only meaningful rap is made by white people and is about aliens </p>

<p>we ironically misspell words but with more complex spellings like "celph" instead of "self" thats the only way you fools will know how abstract and conscious we are f*** yeah underground for life </p>

<p>this will really show the kids in first period bio</p>

<p>ok now you really don't make any sense at all. celph titled isn't white, nor are any of the other rappers on my list with the exception of adrock. why don't you just listen to a few of them before you make any comments?</p>

<p>Immortal technique man. come on now</p>

<p>Eminem is the only mainstream rapper to never sell out and keep his lyrics meaningful. 100% of other mainstream rappers have songs about either drugs/sex/violence. </p>

<p>Eminem is the best rapper alive.</p>

<p>Tupac is the best of all time regardless of his lyrical content. (hit em up comes to mind. I don't give a f*** how violent that was it's still the most legendary rap ever.)</p>

<p>Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco.</p>

<p>Kanye West isn't a rapper!</p>

<p>yeah i agree with entropy.</p>

<p>Then what is he? Just because he doesn't carry guns around and f*** lots of **<strong><em>es and roll around with huge rims and get boobies slapped in his face by coked out russian strippers? I'm confused. I'd rather listen to him than s</em></strong> like Dem Franchize Boyz or Nelly...</p>
