Eminem by far is the best xD all his rapping was about his real life issues. From his addictions to his family problems, all was real. He wasnt a fake like todays "so-called" rappers
I just personally don't feel em has it anymore besides He was never the best rapper out at any point… Even ice cube ran hip hop for a few years
In no particular order…Jay Z, Kanye, Kendrick Lamar, Young Lil Wayne, Wale. A few who are talented. I don't like commercial rap.
lyrical genius: Kendrick lamar, Nas Bars: J Cole, Drake Metaphors: lil wayne ( 04-09 but sometimes have good metaphors now) Overall: Kendrick lamar, J.Cole, Nas (no order)
Lil Wayne is WACK. He steals his lyrics from other artist (dead & alive.) Hes not creative. He don't have an original bone in his body. EMIN3M IS DOPE!!
Oh, how did I forget lupe? He is lyrical, poetic, and has bars, and he from my city so that is a plus lol, oh and kanye (sometimes, i aint been feeling him lately)
@ divinestud, i agree he is wack NOW and forever will be from here on out, but back in his drought and dedication mixtape days he wasn't, in my opinion of course.
How am I the only one to mention Boots Riley? Do yourselves a favor, use a search engine of your choosing and have a listen to Boots Riley from The Coup. Keep it Oakland.
