Do you think there are rappers better than Eminem?

Simple question, just answer yes or no.

If you say yes, post who (provide links to songs too).

If you say no, then that's it aha.

Just curious what has Eminem released in 2012? Cuz you said in 2012 Defiantly.

All around Eminem is number 1 no doubt...EM Prime destroys any other rapper in there prime..thats my opinion....Currently I really feel Hopsin and Jon Connor so until EM releases something for 2012 I will say those 2 are my top guys...

Based on everything he's released since his comeback then I guess lol.

Ever - No.
At the moment - Yes, but that's largely based on his inactivity.

over the course of his career. 1999 to this very day.

Explain how Almost Famous, SS&D and Microphone are better than Black Cloud :s

You think Eminem is underrated on here though so this isn't surprising.

No. Lyrically I don't know but no one can compete to the whole package (production/lyrics/voice/delivery).

And he is underrated in general. Most people on here thinks hes straight awful right now. He's been average on a couple tracks here and there, but album wise he's delivered the lyricism and humour that he's always had. IMO he just needs to produce for himself because his beat choice is ehhh.

We're talking about who's better though, not who you prefer. If Eminem released any of the songs I posted you'd claim they were up there with prime Eminem shit lmao.

And I think he isn't good any more because of what he's released since 2004, not because of a couple of guest verses.

For him to get better he needs to stop screaming and at times whispering randomly. He can flow fantastically and use his normal voice (The Warning) but for some reason he chooses to scream at us. He also needs to stop talking about how much he hates woman and food chains :s Also the TERRIBLE (no, not corny, terrible) punchlines need to stop.

Beats need to be better too and his features can be a lot better.

You must not listen to much music lol.

Yes, Eminem is the best rapper ever imo.

Look, Relapse would've been 10x better if he haven't been gone for 5 years. ( Relapse is still fucking awesome.) He had to learn to how to write again and shit. He probably made Recovery to get back on top, so he made it a little more pop-ish. ( Recovery does have some good songs though. ) Now when he's back at number 1, he'll PROBABLY make a dope ass album, he learned how to write again, his "Shady 2.0 Cypher" was dope, H:TS ( The Reunion, A Kiss, Welcome To Hell :wub:

)"The Art Of Rap" freestyle was really dope, "Richard" was dope, "Throw It Up" was.. okay. So his next album can't be bad.

And he always have a new style on each album, he can be funny, serious, emotinal, etc. He's an amazing story teller, he can rap to any beat, he can diss, freestyle. etc etc etc.

SO that's why Em' is my favorite rapper. :happy:

Have you seen my music library? NO!... I have Listened to everything that comes out and 2012 has been disappointing for me...

so far only liked,

Nas - Life is good
Obie Trice - Bottums up
Lloyd Banks - V6
Jon Connor - All 3 mix tapes

for the Record,

RELAPSE and RECOVERY > Nas - Life is good
Obie Trice - Bottums up
Lloyd Banks - V6
Jon Connor - All 3 mix tapes

Why is Recovery better than Life Is Good, to you?

And I highly doubt you've listened to everything 2012 has had to offer since you've only listed 4 pieces of work.
