Is Eminem the Greatest rapper ever?

[MikeNUFC]

If saying that Pac is the GOAT is laughable then a good portion of Hip-Hop listeners are laughable.

Hip-hop has more idiotic, laughable fans than any other genre.

EM1973 - Well said, my friend.

Some of Pac's early material are truly great but he can put that thug life bullshit up his ass. I honestly couldn't care less about that.

Who can honestly relate to to such stuff (literally or emotionally)?

All eyez on me must be the most overrated hip hop album of all time.

[313]

Yes, he is!

[EM1973]

If that's how you look at it. Then anyone that considers Em the GOAT is laughable. Encore is garbage and quite possibly one of worst rap albums of all time.

Encore isn't so good album but to say that it's one of worst rap albums of all time it's ridiculous.
And take any of Tupac's album and compare to MMLP and Eminem Show.Em's>Tupac's.
And how the hell is laughable to consider somoeone like Eminem the Greatest when his success and his impact was even bigger than the rivalry of Pac & Big?
How the hell is laughable when someone like Eminem is far more skilled than Pac?The debate here is with other like Rakim,Nas or Big Daddy.Is Pac more skilled that them or than Em?No.
How the hell is laughable when In a time like 2010 when records are not selling,with downloads,torrents e.t.c. Em sold 741.000 copies in the first week of Recovery?
741.000 today is like 2.000.000 at 90's.People haven't money nowdays especially last 2-3 years economy is down,internet destroy music but Em is there because of his greatness.
That's why a 34 years old artist said that and he isn't a friend of him..
"Nobody's gonna be bigger than Eminem"-Kanye West

Tupac again was great no doubt about that but he isn't the Greatest because he hadn't the full package like Eminem.
Eminem has it all.
He returns after the problems with drugs when another great Jay-Z(love him or hate him) was the ultimate face of Hip-Hop and Em take that from him immediately.So Big is Eminem.

I would say Pop does...

[Fleka]

Well, it is hard to say who is the GOAT. I think that the best thing to do would be make a list of 10 rappers that deserve to be called that, and let everyone pick their favourite. And also, whether Eminem is your favourite or not, he should be in top 5 in everyones choice for the GOAT, couse that`s how good he is.

I say he is the greatest rapper ever.

[biterph0bia]

Eminem is a great rapper, I'll say that. People throw "GOAT" around like it's fucking confetti. The word seems useless to me now.

[shadysecret]

no fucking duh.
This is an Eminem forum.

Of course Eminem is the G.O.A.T~

[DarkSideOfEm]

bigger than hiphop

no doubt!

[RainMan44]

I am the dopest M.C ever.

[Raids-God]

I am the dopest M.C ever.

So am i ! lol we have so much in "Common" is the best ......
Nah im fucking
Em ... Copywrite ..Chino Nas or Budden .... Taxi please

[Willy]

Hip hop's Goat? yes. He has done a lot for the genre, he has impacted the world, he is extremely skilled, he has classic albums, he hit a bouncer with a gun.

Encore is definitely not one of the worst of all time. There are PLENTY more that are worse. Lil Wayne's Rebirth, for example (I still count that as a rap album). Encore is not THAT bad, for an Eminem album it's horrible and it's below his standards, but there are plenty of albums that I consider to be far worse. There are still a few songs off of Encore I can listen to

[Shit Can Happen]

The thing that prevents Em from being a suitable contender for G.O.A.T. within the "hip hop community" are idiotic elitist rap fans who think that rebelling against what's most popular makes them intelligent and unique.

If he was less of a mainstream sensation, or if he was black, or if he died tragically, it'd be a different story. But instead, Eminem is an extremely talented white rapper who's the biggest selling MC of all-time and is still alive and kicking ass, so the "cool kids" of the "hip hop community" validate themselves by underrating him to make themselves look more knowledgeable.
