So Em helped him write stuff before they even met? Amazing. When i think best RAPPER i don't think best WRITER, i think someone who can rap good, does it matter if he wrote it? No.

Haha...
does that s*** make sense at all?
So if Beyonce rapped to Jay-Z's lyrics you would call her the best rapper alive?
You are an idiot.

Are you really trying to discredit Redman? Redman is for sure one of the best to ever do it.

Thats a tricky one. I'd say between Jay Z, Emimem, Dr Dre, Outkast
The best british rapper I think is Sway

I said Dre was a good RAPPER, i said nothing about writter. Also he raps his own songs, he may not write them but they are his songs. Hell a lot of bands/rappers don't write there own shit, who cares, writting don't make you a RAPPER believe it or not RAPPING makes you a RAPPER.

^^^Exactly what I was going to say. Disputing what he is saying, it means you are defining a rapper as being someone who writes their own lyrics, no, that makes them either a writer or a lyricist, however if someone says the words written down over a beat, thus rapping, whether or not they wrote it or not, they are still a rapper. Now, with that out of the way, the best rappers alive are in my opinion:
The Game Eminem Lupe Fiasco Kanye West
just to name four.

You have Fat Joe on the list and you're dissing Obie Trice? For shame. You left a lot of amazing rappers off of this list. Though I realize you can't include them all, you'd think you'd at least have heard of some of the more well-known artists like Slug from Atmosphere.

Out of those, I guess Eminem and Dr Dre. You shoulda put in RZA, GZA, Ghostface Killah, Killarmy, Capidonna, Chino XL, etc.
