Eminem, Tupac or Biggie?

[Troyg39]

A friend and are arguing about this. He says that Eminem is often regarded as the best to ever do it. But so are Tupac and Biggie. In fact, Tupac and Biggie often get paired together as being the best two, without anyone ever really mentioning Eminem. And he thinks Eminem is more so regarded as the best ever only when he's brought up. Example:

1: "Eminem just dropped a new song"
2: "Oh man he's the greatest all time"

But when it's Tupac and Biggie

1: "Yo who's the best rapper ever?"
2: "Idk man but it's gotta be between Biggie and Pac"

He says that while Eminem has the respect of many fans both black and white, he still has that "white boy rapper" stigma and is rarely ever seriously considered the best, which is why you don't really hear him come up in the same conversation as Biggie and Pac.

Well I personally think Eminem is better (my friend doesn't) so I'm wondering, who in your opinion is the best rapper ever?

Everyone has a personal best though. Like I say Eminem is the best rapper I've ever heard, but I wouldn't be mad if someone said Pac or Biggie was better

Eminem is a monster, but Bigge & Pac is above him. Most hip hop heads would agree. I would put EM just under Big L & Nas.

 

[jr tyrael24]

they all do wat they do best, eminem is the most original and versatile but if a rap battle was to happen i think big would take the cake. although eminem is by far my favorite cus hes a lyrical genious

 

[Hexuze]

Eminem is a lyrical genius, it's scary how many words he can rhyme together.

i second this one ^^ but, it's a matter of opinion really when it comes to these three legends (each is the best at something).

 

[Black Literati]

These 3 are all great rappers. However,
I'm of the notion that both TuPac and Eminem are > Biggie.
I've yet to decide if Eminem > Tupac, or if the reverse is true.

 

[Mugen Ryukyu]

I can 100% tell that none of you are really big hip-hop fans because anybody that is a really big hip-hop fan meaning its the only genre they listen too, without even thinking about it would know that eminem isn't even in Pac's or Notorious' league

These three can't even be compared because eminem pales in comparison. Eminem is nowhere near their level at all, like at all!

 

[Penguin]

Tupac is not as good as Biggie. Wu-Tang for life.

 

[peeps625]

i voted bigge.

but mom's spagehetti solos low diff.

 

[Forest]

Biggie, Ready to die
Greatest production and Rapping combo on any Album all time,
BIggie the real king of NY takes this low diff

 

[P3ĮÑ]

I can't actually decide between the three, I like them all so I can't really say :/

Eminem is better than both. His music is more diverse and his rhyme schemes are more complex. Tupac was regarded as the best when he was alive because he was one of the few then to keep it real. He helped gangster rap blow up, but did it in more than the "I kill niggaz!" way, he was poetic with it and showed the darker side to being a G, the struggles that come with it. That's why he was regarded as the best then. But people nowadays will say he's the best and don't know what it is that caused him to be regarded as the best, they just ****ing say it because older people who really know why say it and they think that's make them cool and hip to HH. Ask any kid nowadays why Pac is the best, all they'll say is he's a G and can't go deeper.

Eminem, IMO, is better because he showed us true darkness, was versatile, had wicked rhyme schemes and way deeper and emotional songs.
