VIBE: Best Rapper Ever

Vibe is doing a whole NCAAesque, Best Rapper Alive Bracket, check it out HERE

There are a lot of things to take into account when considering the best rapper though. I wonder what Vibe will be using

Best Rapper Alive

In a recent Vibe survey ranking the best rappers alive, Eminem topped the list. Let me just say this, I don't doubt his skills as a rapper, I don't doubt his abilities as a poet, but there are so many things to base this assumption on. And to be honest, his name doesn't come up atop any of these. If you want to talk freestyle, Supernat comes to mind. If you want to talk lyricist, Lil' Wayne, Mos Def, Talib and any number of other rappers come to mind. I'm not going to doubt Eminem, he is well versed but as far as best rapper alive goes. I'm sorry Vibe fans, you got this one wrong.
