right...Talib or Mos Def are better...lmfao. Or let me guess..that overrated dancing clown, no rythm 2pac is better as well? You don't think I remember him dancing around like a clown as a back-up dancer in the 80's?
Rakim aka The God MC says it best..about Eminem. Rakim says if Em was black he'd be looked at like the Ali of rap.
The only rapper over the last 20 years that is even in Em's league is Biggie.

Not talking about dance rythm...talking about rythm in his flow. 2pac has no rythm in his flow and lyrically he is straight garbage.
Eminem's more serious stuff is very good.
The guy proved in 2010 he was back to his old self by destroying everything he was on. Upstagged BOB on his own single Airplanes. Destroyed Wayne (not that that is hard to do) on his own song. Destroyed Kanye, Wayne, and Drake on their song.
Recovery was his best work in years. Lots of great rhymes on that and his flow was better than ever.
Don't be a hater because he's white. Dude is as legit as it gets.

man, the best is impossible to determine, because it is so subjective. there are no real ways to weed out personal preference.
The best rapper of all time, hands down, in a career model, would have had to be LL.
his career body of work is crushing the competition. yet, he is neither the best lyricist or even the best freestyler. he has put out so many hits, though, and has stayed so relevant throughout, even crushing people in battles well after his prime.
but there are no ways to measure who is the best in any objective way. we can't use album sales, because then we would be losing all the old school acts. Take LL for instance... his first 4 albums were from before hip-hop really even made a dent with the white peoples...

those are the biggest things going in rap right now.
don't worry though, Eminem killed Jay-Z and Nas on their own songs as well.
LMFAO @ NovaNoles....his "fans" ruined him for you. You sound like a total hipster douche.

Well thats just a shame thats the biggest things in rap. I did love his verses on Renegade, probably my favorite verses from him. Like Nova said though, his whole persona just rubbed me the wrong way. Killing his mom and wife on songs, just not my style
Also, what song did him and Nas do together?

There's no way that I can take you serious after you said Pac has no flow. You do realize his lyrics are from the 90's, right? So they make sense for the time period.
Em, has great verses out there, like the one's you mentioned. But, were they his songs?
Could you imagine Pac, Biggie, Nas, or Jay doing Stan? Thats like one of his biggest hits right?
He definitely can rap lyrically, but come on half his career is mainly comedy rap

commercial success is not a good way to judge an artform. if you want to talk about lyrics, Nas has to be the 1 seed. if you want to talk about commercial success, then no one is touching jay.
so, sales, eminem. commercial success, and overall success? jay.
Jay Z is the most financially set emcee, and he has had the most no. 1 albums, considering he is also a producer, etc...
this subject cannot be fairly dealt with because there is no way to measure.
none at all

hey DickMcJunkin...Eminem is the best selling rap artist of time. He's sold more records than Jay.
Eminem was the biggest selling artist in North America for the entire past decade. Yes, that is correct. Not the top selling rap artist, but the top selling artist, period.
His last 2 albums- Relapse (which was total shit) and Recovery, both sold more than any of Jay's recent albums. In fact, Recovery sold over 4 million in the US/Canada alone. Double what Jay's last release did.
Eminem is the most commercially successful rap artist ever, fyi.
