were da fuck is mac dre on the votes!!@!#!#$@!!#%!@%%%%!^%

none of them 4 me

NAS is very lyrical and he actual has a msg with his raps...nobody else really does...they just rap about fame, money, hoe

Eminem is one of few who actually has skill and rose to the top because of it...unlike many rappers who get famous for a sec cause they bought a hot beat or had connections. hes very legit and seems to manage his rap career very well.

i noticed a lot of u voted 4 lil wayne well if u didnt know half of his shit was written by other people....
i really dont like him at all but the best rapper alive is Eminem

eminem

Nas shits on anyone on that list...

Rakim has done more than anyone else living or dead for rap though, so he'd probably be the best.

Well duh, thats what rap is about!

rap is like poetry man...it turns out that mostly black people rap to put their struggle into words...these days rap is just about gay things...with zero skills...just a hot beat to make a few million bucks

well who wants to dance to sombody rapping about their struggles

Well I'd Have to say Agian Lil Wayne ... For Dwayne to say
what he says and not write it is pure skill.
The nigga is "the greatest rapper alive" may not be better
than Legends like Tupac,Eazy,Cube, and more... But as
in today he is.
