How good is Eminem?

Eminem is a rap god.

When we were younger in school everyone had their favorite rapper. Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, J Cole(he was newish then but everyone could tell this guy is going places in the rap industry), Drake(also newish but everyone (again) who listened to Drake from his inception knew this guy was the ish), Nicki, Nas, etc. We often argued about who is better than who. Occasionally someone who didn't really get rap would come along and say Eminem is the best rapper.

We(even if sometimes I wasn't present) had a rule and still do. Never to bring Eminem into an argument about who is the better rapper. There is Eminem then there are other rappers. He is on his own level. We could argue all day about other rappers but Eminem was off-limits. It wasn't fair to put other rappers against Eminem.

It is like comparing other current footballers and many before to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It just isn't fair. Those two are on their own level.

uhhh it seems like most of the good rappers in there early days they rap fast and are very lyrical n stuff so yeah em did that but has they get older they slow it down and are more about the beats n stuff the music

IMO i was more of a fan of the members of WU tang GZA and e-40 in terms of rappers who could rap fast and are lyrical were better then eminem

esp e-40 i dont even think he was human had to be a Alien

yeah he was my era of rapper, or a little after my era actually....I grew up more with Snoop, Dre, Tupac, mostly when they were first starting out... I wasn't that much into Rap and Hip Hop, I liked House and Euro House the most...which are still favorite genres of mine...although they've changed so much from the earlier days I can barely listen to the modern stuff..Anyway Eminem, most of my friends were into him. My favorite of the Hip Hop/Rap groups were Bone Thugs & Harmony...talk about fast as hell rapping heh.....
