Who is the best rapper alive?

according to google, a rapper called “Lil’ Wayne” is the best rapper alive…in fact thats the name of one of his “hit” songs.

what are the qualifications for being the “best rapper alive”?

Rev. Run of Run DMC

I think Lil Wayne is the best ever but thats just me.

Tupac (he’s still alive).

yea top 4 Lil Wayne, Tupac, Mac Dre and Jay Z in that order

rev run.

stop listening to horrible “hip hop”. that’s not rap. that’s a bunch of wanna-be lyricists wearing bullet proof vests writing about guns and girls on their knees. talk about a BS facade?

sorry for my opinion.

Never apologize for an opinion, sheriff!

Lupe Fiasco.

@ishotthesheriff they are just old school rap

ever heard of an even older song called rappers delight?

i honestly like lupe!
@ gooch: what? ha who’s “they”

very old school rap song from the70s

what? hah. i know who dmc is lol
i was saying run was the best rapper

Andre from outkast

Too hard to quantify best rapper…hiphop has alot different sub-genres…but i will throw some names out there:
Common, Jay-Z, Nas, Talib Kweli, Eminiem, Andre 3000, KRS…actually this is too hard…too many to list…no way to rank them.

Also, Lil Wayne is trend…kinda like z caverichi pants or JNCO jeans.

most people rate Lil Wayne on his commercial records but he put out over 150 songs for free in the mixtape game this year. Check out beat without bass or I know the future by Lil Wayne. I would have to say that Wayne isn’t a trend and will go down as one of the best but your right about a lot of sub genres and too many to list.

eminem

Method Man.

Tical!

sage francis, aceyalone, slug, biggie, talib kweli, .....

pst tenneseeteacake biggies not alive

neither is tupac

thats debatable lol

i suppose. =)

TennesseeTeacake: if you like them, you should like abstract rude. listen to “slip and slide” and “coolin”
