Who is the best rapper?

I am a huge music fan...as far as Rap goes the top spot(s) belong to Lil Wayne and T.I. This i believe to be true because of not only their lyrical sense but also the consistency of albums and the result of sales. Both of these young men have come a long way in my eyes and although they have both seemed to have acquired quite a few fairweather fans, I can honestly say they still have a true fan in me no matter what...I still love to hear jams like Young'n Blues and I'm Serious.

I think as i write this I am big fan of TI, I know he is going away but I hope that only makes the music more tight. I am not a Kayne West fan at all, something about the pace TI uses as well as he seems like a cool guy. These are the reason he is tops on my list. Stay tuned though it changes all the time.

The best rapper of all time is without the shadow of a doubt EMINEM.Every album he has released uptill now has been atleast silverjubilee,from this u can sense the amount of talent he possesses n im a die hard EMINEM fan always.

I don't really have a particular idol but I see a lot of them.Especially the blacks,they have a good rapping..

its gonna be eminem for me... his Marshall Mathers LP is still one of my favorite albums of all time... and i like metal.!
