Eminem The Best Rapper?

Paul @ Gone Hollywood | Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Vibe Magazine readers have crowned Eminem as the best rapper alive, voting began with 64 rappers going up against each other, eventually leading to Eminem beating out Jay Z in the final two contestants.

In a statement the rapper said, “it’s obviously an honor to have won the fans’ support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive, I don’t think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best, though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do. But since Vibe’s offering the distinction, hell yeah, I’ll accept!”

Vibe will be rolling out Eminem’s win in their November 2008 issue. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama will grace the cover of that issue.

“Vibe is thrilled we could put the debate about the Best Rapper Alive in the hands of the fans,” the mag’s music editor, Sean Fennessey, said. “Eminem isn’t just one of the most successful MCs of all time, he’s also one of the most beloved. The proof is in the voting.”

Agree or disagree? I think there is far better rappers out there than Eminem.
