Vibe Best Rapper Ever Bracket

[Mariah]

lmao @ him spelling BUTTON as BUDDEN

[Dox Phonic]

How they decidin this?

[Nick.]

lmfao @ budden's responses

[....Gone.]

budden is right some of the legends really shouldn't have been on there. They are founders, or just old school and good for their days, and they have their spots in history, but best rappers of all time?.... nah. like grandmaster caz...wtf caz get shits on by everyone on that list today.

LOL @ budden over hyping himself though. If that was a serious respectable list, Budden wouldn't even be on it at all IMO. But i guess since some of the others are so wack he can make a case for a spot on the list as it is.

You don't like Budden? Or just don't think he deserves to be up there..?

[Opie M.]

You guys realize this is a mainstream popularity contest right?? WTF @ expecting them to put a bunch of people no one's heard of because that's who you like.

[....Gone.]

I bet Pac or Em wins..

[Opie M.]

Em won last year and he'll most likely win again... especially with this new album droppin.

[....Gone.]

Yeah, but that was Best Rapper Alive, this is Ever. And the majority of people think of Pac as the best rapper ever (as do I), but I think they're better lyricists and Emcees.

[Opie M.]

oh yea... good point. I didn't even notice. Still tho... it's a popularity contest so it could go either way.

[....Gone.]

Word, word. Jay-Z could also be a bigger choice, he's popular.

[Opie M.]

Yea... last year they went head to head for #1. It was a blow out tho. Like 70% or some shit for Eminem lol

Jay would be my choice tho.

[Abo 3amter]

WTF 2 PAC VS PLIES

WAYNE VS BOW BOW


what a gay ass list


this is stupid

[Opie M.]

Dude they're seeded. Do you not know how seeds work? strongest go against the weakest.

Word. Jay-Z is dope, I been bumpin' RD alot lately, and I don't deny his top 10 status, but in my opinion there are better rappers/lyricists/emcees out there. But it's all opinion. Btw, who won your battle homie, didn't see the outcome..

[Opie M.]

I won. 6-3

The way I see it... yea... there are better lyricists, but lyricism is only one part of being the GOAT. The reason I like mainstream cat like Jay-z or Eminem over emcees that are all about nonstop lyricism is because the rap giants are well-rounded. They know how to be great lyricists and at the same time, pioneer new sounds and appeal to the masses. I admire their success as much as their lyrical ability.
