If you were to have me list my top 10 rappers in order, I would have an extremely difficult time ranking each artist because of the different skills that many hip hop and rap artists bring to the game these days. However, I would not have a hard time placing Eminem at number one all around artist currently in the game. Eminem is a lyrical genious who has been saying whatever is on his mind since he first joined the rap game. He fell off for a few years due to his drug addiction, but came back stronger than ever with his album, 'Recovery' in 2010. I would definately place this album on the top 20 of all time. Where does Eminem rank on your top 10 all around rappers?

Eminem also ranks number one in my list. Even though he had some rough times and has been gone for some time, he's still great and even better. I love al his songs, he's the only rapper that I really love too. I hope he becomes happy with his life and not just talk about sad stuff though.

After his newest released album, Recovery, which definately had a lot of emotional songs in it, he has come out with a few singles that are much more up-beat and more like his old style of rapping. He writes about real things in his life, so there are going to be times where he raps with sadness and anger, and other times where he will be happy and funny. Whatever he does, he does it with all of his heart and continues to prove himself as one of the greatest rappers of all time.

I'm not a fan of rap but Eminem is a name I know and a voice I recognize well. So I guess that makes him number one because even people who are not fans of rap music know him. He caught my attention because he can rap really fast while at the same time every word he utters is understandable. I believe that his lyrics are also impressive, and I know a few of his good lines.

That is a really good point. His delivery is so crisp and clear, not only on his albums, but especially when he performs live in concert. Thanks for the comment!

Sean Kingston!? I don't think he is even worthy of being mentioned in this conversation because he is a relatively new artist with no talent beyond his vocals. He is good on a chorus, but I would leave it at that... Usher, on the other hand, has proven himself year after year ever since his album, My Way early in his career. I still would not put him in a "top" list because although he is one of the most popular artists out there, his main fan base is teenage girls who think he is hot and know little about what makes a good artist. Delivery, lyrics, flow...

Best all around rappers? This should be a pretty easy top because I like eminem a lot. So the first option is Eminem. I am not always listening to new songs, I usually stick to my big playlist. Now that I took a look in it, I can tell you that besides Eminem, I have a lot of Ludacris in here. So second place is Ludacris. The thirs option of mine, would be 2Pac but i still don't know if he is alive or not :) I also like a lot of DMX, JaRule and Guess Who. The last one is a Romanian rapper who made in the last 3 years songs that converted over half of the nation into rappers:))
