best rapper alive for me is hard to name, because a lot of my favorites aren't always consistent. I will say that Ghostface is definitely up there, as is El-P.

None of whom have done anything of any worth for years.

Right now the likes of Jay-Z, NYG'z, Bun B and Vinnie Paz are killing it.

WELLLLL!!!!

it all depends on the factors.

I think that Jay-Z, is the Best Rapper Alive only because he is the BIGGEST. He is the richest, most well known, and he is such a great rapper, that it is easy to call him the best rapper alive. But, if you want to be all technical, it could be any rapper that is still alive, but in this case, it means that still is alive in the business. But even if you meant still breathing, the best rappers are dead, Eazy E, Big L, Pac, Biggie.

Very true, I'm sure that JGlass would agree with you as well. I've been waiting on their new album this entire year. At least I don't have that much longer to wait.

no, he sang in a style known as sprechgesang.
Its when you sing and speak at the same time. Although in Subterranean Homesick Blues he is mainly singing.

Definitely Nas. Then, in order, comes Dr. Dre, Common, Lil Wayne, and Eminem.

Dre??? Yeesh. I love the Doc but not exactly because of his lyrical chops... or lack thereof.

Reall talk, Lil Wayne, Luda, Busta, Andre, And Talib Are da best period. while there are other rappers dat some people may consider more lyrically talented, they are often deep rappers dat not many relate to, and often boring as well... T.I is pathetic, he never says any thing, the only reason people like him is for his southern accent and style, but dat cant make up for his lack of lyrical talent.

Lil Wayne and luda both have uniqe and impressive styles, and though people try to use lil wayne's style, we gotta keep in mind dat he is da originator.. luda and busta have extremely original styles, and luda is very creative.
