The Game, 3 Classic Albums - Documentary, Doctors Advocate and LAX were sick. Ice Cube is prob my secong choice because Laugh Now Cry Later I'd say was the best album in the last couple years.

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 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. the fact that your Best Rapper Alive consists of The Game and Lupe Fiasco and your honorable mentions have no Jay-Z in it make me question your level of involvment in actual HIP HOP... Best Rapper Alive three way tie that CANNOT BE BROKEN Jay-Z, Eminem and Nas that simple..they are the best, have the best lyrics, and put together the most clever ****..they are a genius on the mic.. Ill give Lupe Credit, he comes up with great **** and he raps about what happens in his life...but so Does Memphis Bleek ,but that doesnt put him as the greatest rapper of all time is there are way to lock this thread for pure ignorance ?? Nas isn't consistent enough to be the best rapper alive. His last two albums have both been horrible. Untitled is great, I don't know what you're talking about. click the link in my sig. so was Hip Hop is DEAD...which is obviously true..those 2 albums were instant classics..LISTEN TO THE LYRICS youngin...maybe the beats arent CLUB BEATS..but thats what the in album is about.....not consistent...lol...is Soulja Boy in your CD Player right now ?? Chamillionaire- Ill prolly get **** on for this, but all you have to do is pick up one of his mixtapes, and you'll agree with me. another misguided soul in the world of hip hop Chamillionaire...lol..Cassidy puts out the sickest mix tapes ever..but is he the greatest... no.

Slug from Atmosphere. The guy can do it all. Immortal Technique, too -- and I'm surprised no one has said Jay Z. Jay Z would bitchsmack Lil Wayne in any way imaginable. the five best rappers alive: dylan, dylan, dylan, dylan, and dylan And this.

Jay-Z is the best all around. Not only can he produce hits, but the dude is a lyrical genius and he's got the best production in the business. Nas would be a close second. Since Jay pulled him over to Def Jam, his production improved ten fold and the dude's game has been consistent as . Between "Untitled" and his last album, Nas could be well on his way to knocking Jay out of the park. The only thing I ever thought he was missing was quality production, and, he's got it now.

Nas' production has improved? I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I mean yeah, I guess it's improved if you're a fan of polish, and if you are - what the ? Why don't you just go listen to the radio? I just don't see why some of you guys dig Untitled so much, hell it's not even the best Nas album that's come out this year.

Lil Wayne is pathetic. Boosie is worse. Mike Jones makes both of them look like legends.
greatest alive?? Bone Thugs as a group top out any individual
