Based on what I've heard on the list, Eminem. I don't like much rap, but some of his material is actually pretty good.

Arrow The Beastie Boys
Isnt the Beastie Boys one of the greatest of 'core' hip hop bands.
Big time musical influence, when considering Funk Rock/subgenres of today.

so you've heard like, one white rapper and assume he's the best one?

No, he's my favourite and judging by the poll he's my favourite with good reason.

Not if all of the Eminem voters' reason is that they haven't really listened to 75% of the poll options. I think that's Jester's point. Eminem has made some fun/good music but often the music that he chose to make is really poor quality compared to a lot of the others on the poll. Simply ruined by commercial interests that were probably largely out of Em's control. Eminem is a good or even great rapper but there are many flaws in his music just like any commercial thing.

No matter what, Aesop Rock is better

I already said my Hip-Hop was limited, I just voted for my favourite. Like I'm sure a lot of people who voted Eminem have done, I think white or black he's one of the best anyway, so listening to a bunch of white other rappers, I may like them but I'd still prefer Eminem. I've heard about 3 of the ones on the poll. If people want to blindy vote Eminem as their favourite then there's nothing wrong with that. Like I said, white or black he's probably my favourite. Mainly for the Marshall Mathers LP.

right, you haven't heard nearly half of the list (and other is a huge option)

you can't make judgments without proper insight
