Best Rapper in the Game Right now?

i say Nas or Eminem. the only reason I didn't say Jay-Z is cuz I hate em. Nas is obviously proved himself to be one of the best all time and same with eminem cuz his lyrics are the best.

 

Chino XL
Vakill
Nas
Common
Vinnie Paz
Ghostface

EDIT

NO to Eminem, he hasn't been good in half a decade...and this is coming from a pretty big fan.

EDIT

Chuck D - the man is still amazing

 

NO to Eminem, he hasn't been good in half a decade...and this is coming from a pretty big fan.

I disagree cuz when he was hot he was REAL hot

EDIT: Im mistaken about chino xl

i love chino xl but hate common</div>

Yea but your question was who is the best in the game right now. Eminem was up there like five years ago but he has went WAY downhill. I don't remember a bigger drop in quality from a rapper.

Now for my answer that will get flamed i'm sure: T.I.

 

Nas, T.I., and Lupe Fiasco.

let the flaming beging LOL....I seriously don't like this guy....I think what annoys me the most is that he thinks he's "so good" when in reality he's mediocre at best...oh well to each his own.

 

Eminem when he decides to make an effort. Chamillionaire put out a pretty good mixtape recently. I'm going to go with Chamillionaire but as soon as Eminem decides to change his subject matter, he'll be the best because his lyricism is still good.

 

Eminem = incredibly wack as of right now....his flow is dull, he's no longer creative, and he feels the need to sing or talk about his daughter in every song.

 

- 50 Cent AKA Da Birfday Man

 

^^^that man is part of the reason why Em fell off...Em tries to be a thug now, and it's just not believable.

 

ummmmmmmmm common, fiasco, kanye west, anyone who doesnt rap about smokeing weed and bangin hoes all the time

Have you heard the song "No Apologies"?

 

Common, Nas, Ghostface Killah.

 

Did anyone know that Lupe Fiasco ghostwrites for Kanye West?

****, you serious?

 

Nas hands down.

 

Ghostface Killah, IMO. And I think Chuck D's greatness is just implied in every one of these discussions.
