ill bill

Kanye, Jay-z, Lupe, or Kid Cudi (Love the way he blends different types of music.) Also, Wu Tang even though a lot of their best work was from the 90's

OX. Did the music to MADWORLD.

all other answers are wrong.

Based strictly on rapping ability...PackFM and J. Cole.
Kno's probably my favorite hip-hop artist today, but I like him more for his production than his rapping. He's still a solid rapper though.

Really depends on what your definition of "this generation" is too.

Aesop Rock.

No one, they arent that good anymore. I left English rapp behind a long time ago tho cuz I didnt really find anything good, and yes I talking about the underground people too (MF DOOM, Blu, ect...)J-WOW

Em is more up for the vote of one of the greatest of all time. J.Cole is killing almost anybody from this generation.

JML897

What in the world has Wiz Khalifa done to even be mentioned in the same sentence with Eminem? Luxen90

Not really anything.

Im going with J.Cole with chamillioanire (hios mixtapes not albums) in second.

To me they have 100x the lyrical talent that rappers like lil wayne, eminem, jeezy, jay-z have. Mainstream rap sucks its all the same crap. I have heard enough about selling drugs, having sex, and cars.

Nice to see J Cole getting a lot of love. The last time I saw him mentioned in a thread people were calling him a "Drake clone".JML897

RA the Rugged Man

Eminem fo sho dawg

Why is everyone so into Eminem. He is so bad it's not even funny. He has been singing about the same stuff since 1997.Blacklight2

He's an excellent MC, but he is hardly varied in subject matter. He rehashes the same basic themes over and over.

Funny article about Eminem.

Orly? His subjects to me appear to be these...

1. He hates his mom

2. He hates his ex wife

3. He had a bad childhood

4. He loves his daughter

5. Apparently his life is hard

6. He is not a fan of his father

7. Also women are bad, or something

Vanilla ice is quite good. Will smith is a close 2nd,.UT_Wrestler

Are you serious?

Pretty much.

Eminem has a schtick an he hardly ever deviates from it.

[QUOTE="breakinglaws"]

[QUOTE="Peiner09"] Actually hes really varied, talks about alot of different subjects. Does it it many different ways too. You should actually listen to him. If anything, alot of his fans thinks hes changed too much.GreySeal9

[QUOTE="UT_Wrestler"]Vanilla ice is quite good. Will smith is a close 2nd,.GreySeal9

'Nuff said.

Get out Ultrabeatdown, get out and never return

Its clearly Eminem. Since freestyling is rap in its purest form, he would beat any mainstream rapper in a battle. He got second place in the '97 rap Olympics.

:P

It's funny how most the rappers mention in this thread aren't even that nice on the mic. Wiz? B.o.B.? Cudi (dude doesn't even rap anymore)? Quit putting them in the same discussion as Marshall ****ing Mathers just because you refuse to look past the radio. OT makes my head hurt.

And all the people saying eminem, he got killed in a freestyle by a londoner called skinnyman SPBoss

Seriously, Eminem is a legend and when it is all said and done he will be considered one of the greatest ever. Rakim, a pioneer of hip hop known for being the first to use internal ryhmes and complex literary devices has said Eminem is on of the greatest of all time.
