How good is Eminem?

[Lily Aldrin]

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.
