Alright earlyer today I got into a heated argument with my brothers, my freind and my boss about who is the best rapper alive. I had just gone and picked up the new Young Jeezy album and I said he is up there but he's still got a lot to do. Now rember he won the Grammy for "Hip-Hop Album Of The Year" or "Best Rap Album" last time he put out an album with "The Instperation" which I thought was pretty subpar. But anyways this sparked a debated between the 6 of us that got me to thinking....
Who is the BEST RAPPER ALIVE?
Now here's what I think;
Its tough to narrow it down to just one however 2 is reasonable. My 2 are
The Game
and
Lupe Fiasco
Both are on top of their game, I think Games better now than he ever was however, Lupe now has two or three songs like every song off "Food And Liquor" but I like his new stuff too. I just can't pick, Lupe raps about stuff that matters, and Game ever since the 2nd half of "Doctors Advocate" has been practicly untouchable. LAX is the best thing he's put out, Period.
Now there's more notible mentions that go out to....
Young Jeezy
Nas
Lil Wayne
Kanye West
Llyod Banks
T.I.
So my question to those of you that read this is who is, in your oppion, The Best Rapper Alive? And lets try not to bash my musical prefernce, because I don't bash yours.

Does no one like Tech N9ne? I do. And he is the best in my opinion. Lyrically there are some rappers better, but I do think he's the best all around rapper out right now. |

Maybe it's because I'm white but I really like Kanye West. Lupe Fiasco and Lil Wayne are solid as well.

I think that all the stuff that Lil Wayne does on mixtapes is where he really shines. Da Drought 3 is a Great mixtape that Wayne has made.

Alright, everyone LOVES wayne, a million albums sold in a week. That says something if nothing does. I think he overly hyped himself. Basicly for myslef killing anything he had comming cause we knew about it. A mixtape should be used for promotional use only, he took his promotionals to a whole nother leval. Which kills off an artist and burns him out IMO. 200+ songs in a year, Weezy calm down.
And to the one guy that said Nas, even thou he isn't good anymore. How can he be the best rapper alive if he isn't good anymore?

It's Nas, it'll always be Nas, and no one can logically argue that.

Theres wayyy too much good talent out there for me to pick to be honest. It's down to The Game, TI, Lil Wayne, and KanYe.

Lil Wayne and Kanye makes hits not music end of story. So this means evry song his his cds are hits? I don't think so, I like all of his music but from the Colleage Drop Out there are atleast 5 songs that couldn't make it around here. And if all he made was hits, there woyuld be no need for this convo and your diffrence of oppinon. |

Lil' Wayne doesn't even crack Top 50 when it comes to the race for the Best Rapper Alive.
