Who is the Best?

Alright friends I am gonna take a route that I haven't taken since I have been on this blog. Drum roll please! Who is the Best Rapper? I know you are thinking where did this come from, well I was on the phone the other day with a guy that I had met in AIT. Well long story short we thought back about the fun we had and the argument about who the best rapper was. I said flat out Lil' Wayne! He argued that it was TI who was the best. Well the battle went to a stalemate but I had learned a lot about rap from this guy. He explained to me that TI thought he was the baddest and so he create a alter-ego AKA TIP just to battle him, cause he was that good. Well after we graduated he came to the conclusion that it wasn't TI or Lil' Wayne but the one and only Marshall Mathers AKA Slim Shady AKA Eminem. He said the reason for him being the best is because when TI and Eminem went to the studio to record TI had to go back and write another verse because Shady had went and blown him out. I agreed with the statement that Eminem was if not still the best, because no one will ever dare to battle him. He is feared by mostly everyone in the rap industry, with his no holds bared lyrics not many can hang with this white kid from Detroit. If you want a glimpse of any of his fatal lyrics just look up Eminem on a browser and there it will be. If you want a good "dis" track then look for the Hail Mary dis on JaRule. If you don't like Eminem then look up the Insane Clown Posse Slim Shady dis, but if you look that up then you might as well look up the Shady dis on the Posse. Anyway I want to know what you guys think, Who is the best rapper? Dead or Alive it doesn't matter just voice your opinion and let it be known who you think is the best!
