I know these are the Carolinas, but I also know that rap is pretty popular and reaches many different types of people. If you don't have an actual opinion on this matter, save the arguing, name calling, etc. for a different thread. Just want some straight up opinions.

A friend of mine has been trying to convince me for months that in rap today, as far as known rappers are concerned (not underground), Lil Wayne is THE best rapper in the world. My argument is that a man made a comeback last year who has been around practically the same amount of time and sold, IDK...20 million more albums or so. His name is Eminem.

So, who is better? Based on creativity, originality, and pure talent?

And for fun, who would win a rap battle?

The way I understand the rap-mosphere, the list would probaly look something like this.

1. Jay Z

2. Lil Wayne

3. Eminem

4. Kanye

Personally, my favorite is Kanye. I think Eminem is the best rapper alive, but I have to be in a certain mood to listen to him because his stuff can get heavy. Kanye I can listen to any time. Jay-Z gets the nod because he has been consistently good for 11 albums, two decades. That's amazing for a hip hop artist. Lil Wayne is the best lyricist in the rap world. His lyrics are incredible, but the music can be hit or miss.

Until they beat Mother Goose. I gotta say MG is the best.

Personally, spending time writing, getting the timing down and rehearshing etc is one thing.

But off the cuff, improv rap, to me, is a much better skill.

And sorry kids, todays music is NOT hip hop but hip POP.

Kanye just pisses me off. I want to dislike him but can't. It would be easier if his music wasn't so damn good.

I love lil wayne. but I have no clue who is best. I rarely even know who I'm listening to when I listen to hip hop/rap. But I pretty much like it all. I'm not so picky about music now days. I just find that type of music fun to listen to and light hearted.

I have been told the Lil Wayne's raps are all freestyle. If this is true, then he has skills. jay-Z deserves credit for his longevity, and he has some wicked flows. Dont know about Kanye, dont want to know..But Marshall is badass, his skills only improved as his career went on. Thats who gets my vote, Eminem...

Ask him this? has Lil Wayne ever had a song that a parady was made of it? You know you have arrived when Weird Al does a parady of your song. (I'm not saying that Weird Al did "I'm Greg Brady!" to M&M's Slim Shady)

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
