eminem is the best rapper

Sure thing, you start.

Yes, I agree mainstream rap music isn't the best around and is really cheesy. This does not mean eminem is the only good rapper. We still have great rappers like Nas, Mobb Deep, 2pac, Lupe Fiasco and many more.

Please elaborate why Eminem is superior to those.

Tupac talked a lot about his life and how unfair things can be. He also reminded us how we should look forward to good things in life instead of weeping about the bad things. He criticises society and the law and doing so fanatically it caused him his life.

Nas is great lyricist as well. One of the best and can definately outrhyme Eminem. He has a natural flow to his raps making it seem like he's telling stories instead of rapping. His flow is so natural he doesn't have to endeavor himself, he can just talk about things and it all seems to rhyme. That's skill that could top Eminem.

Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls was a great rapper and the biggest rival of Tupac. They used to be friends but got caught up in the turf wars with the east and westcoast. Biggie Smalls came the closest to Tupac's succes and in my opinion Tupac is better but they're both extremely good. So good that they both shared the same fate.

I'm not saying Eminem is a bad rapper. He's in my top 5 and can top most rappers from today. But he's not the best. He's close though. But my top 3 would be Tupac, Biggie and Nas. I've showed you some examples of superior rappers to Eminem.

Also note that Eminem has stated Tupac is better than him.

Thanks for the debate.
