Best rapper ?

Who is the best rapper ? For me it's Eminem

Jay Electronica... if he EVER RELEASES SOMETHING.

Or I'll just go with Kendrick Lamar.

Ever? Hard to say. Eminem is top 5 for sure.

mac dre

don't disgrace mac dre's name by posting it in a thread with m&m's name attached

Eminem isn't the best rapper but Stan happens to be one of the best rap songs for sure

This.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not

In terms of generational influence I'd say he's pretty damn high on the totem pole.

My problem is I think there's a drastic drop in overall quality when it comes to anything post-encore. I haven't listen to MMLP2 in a while but I don't remember being that impressed.

Hip-Hop and Rap in general is one of the few genres of music I am woefully lacking in when it comes to what I've actually sat down and listened to.

If you ask me the post-encore releases sometimes have a decent or even good track here or there but they simple can't match the consistency of the pre-relapse albums. I haven't listened to recovery in forever as well, so it might be a time to revisit his discog for me.

Now? MF DOOM.
In ten years? Earl Sweatshirt.
