Eminem is an Oscar winning American rapper, record producer, and actor from Detroit, Michigan.

Having sold over seventy million albums worldwide Eminem is one of the highest-selling musicians of the early 2000s and one of the highest-selling rap artists of all time.

Eminem was discovered by rapper and producer, Dr. Dre. When Dr. Dre first heard Eminem’s mixtape, he thought Eminem was black.

Dr. Dre later signed Eminem to his record label, Aftermath Entertainment.

    ok. First of all, Eminem is definitely not the best out there right now, he has gone down hill in the recent years and rappers like Kanye West, Jay Z, Nas, etc. Have all managed to pass him in my books

    fuck off scott u prick!
    eminem is the lryical genius!
    no 1 touches him

    uhm…are yall blind??? eminem is currently not the best out there now, cuz heez a lil busy…if you look back at his old work youll definitely be converted to an eminem fan..no one rhymes like him, freestyles like him, battles like him, acts like him and theres no one whos as creative at makin songs and rhymes as him…out of all the emcees and rappers out there, dead and alive, i reckon eminem’s my personal favourite like if i had a choice to listen to one rapper, it would be eminem…he rocks…

    There is nobody better than eminem! Not 50 not Jay! Sorry but even if Eminems material is softening we know that his last album sold 14 million copies worldwide! I mean he is the best rapper Dead/Alive!!! Mr. Mathers is the only one who really matters!

    I am sick and tired of all you badwagon jumpers. There is always a new hotter artist out there every year. This year it is Kanye and maybe Lil’ Wayne. Bottom line is once you have established yourself as one of the greats or the greatest then it doesn’t matter if you don’t have an album every year. You are already at the top. At the top it is Eminem and Tupac. That’s it! There are some really good ones like Biggie, Nas, and Jay-Z. The bottom line is that no one touches Eminem and Tupac. They are the realest and the greatest lyricist ever. The others are good but again there are only 2 greats. There’s your answer. Keep throwing out the flavor of the week but they still don’t compare to the body of work and the skillz shown buy Em & 2pac!

  6. Scott on October 16th, 2007 10:04 pm

    wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww lmao off at yall who think eminem is the best of all time!!! is that not a little far, what about legends, you must be new to the ram game, think Rakim, Or Big Daddy Kayne. Eminems got nothing on them and im sure he would admit it himself. Eminem’s lyrics are not even on the same level as Nas’

  7. jade on October 16th, 2007 10:40 pm

  8. STM on October 16th, 2007 10:41 pm

    I still think eminem is the best out there, when he comes back he’s gonna come back big! by the way if your an eminem fan, or even if your not go to youtube.com/shadyaftermath89 and check it out

  9. Max on October 16th, 2007 11:27 pm

    I’ll have to agree with scott on a subject
    eminem may be one of the best
    but most of you ARE forgetting some other amazing lyricists
    rakim, public enemy!?, ice-t, slick rick. I mean come on people lets show some respect to TRUE legends
    these people have been around since like the 80’s, and have created some of the rhymes that established hip-hop into what it is now. fucking people, do your research.

  10. Fonejacker on October 17th, 2007 2:07 am

    Scott’s just a Shady hater… but really, no one can touch Em out there. Word.

  11. trotter on October 17th, 2007 9:49 am

    Yo scott,u really have to stop acting like the hame is still in the nineties man.every generation has its legend,and for this Millennium shady is it.Plus i think Rakim would also admit that shady is good lyricist.The dude sold about SEVEBTY MILLION COPIES.does that ring any bell in your empty skull

  12. derfuk on October 17th, 2007 5:29 pm

    who can touch eminem ?/ he is a pain in the bum

  13. TAC on October 17th, 2007 8:12 pm

    put it to all of ya this way……em is the best HANDS DOWN. others like Tupac, nas, jay-z Rakim, Ice-T, etc are right up there as well, but em still better. how come nobody talks about dre or ice cube anymore? or even short dogg? those guys have some of the best talent of all time! 50 is good as well, but i absolutely DISPISE kanye!!!!

    EMINEM is tha best!!! \,,/ \,,/

  14. Max on October 17th, 2007 9:13 pm

    to say that eminem is the greatest of the millennium
    is honestly the stupidest thing ive ever heard
    like, hes good
    but his flow gets old, fast.
    lets not jump to conclusions, he is definitely making hip hop history, but in no way is he the greatest of the millennium.
    and if your going to argue that, then please please check yourself into a special program, for the good of us all.

  15. Scott on October 17th, 2007 10:15 pm

    I aint no Shady hater, i like him, hes just definetly not the best out there.
    Jay Z and Nas are both better then him.

  16. slim on October 18th, 2007 4:04 am

    fuck man, scott and and max and all you eminem haters. why are so goddamn stupid, look at the record sales, theres only one artist who beats him and thats tupac, jay and nas, their over, they’re history, they couldn’t reach half of em’s sales even if they put thier record sales together. get you head out of the sand shit for brains. ahahahaha

  17. Billy on October 18th, 2007 4:29 am

    Yo, Eminem is good, definately one of the best. But everyone forgets the underground. Fuck Ive seen dudes from New Zealand hit the tracks harder than Eminem. Theres ddues from Australia who can spit better than Eminem. Uk has better artists, and the US underground he filled with killer emcees.

  20. Martinho on October 25th, 2007 12:55 pm

    eminems brother? wht a fuckin crackhead
    no-one can touch eminem … simple as

  21. Scott on October 25th, 2007 12:59 pm

    You guys are embarrassing yourself. You honestly think eminems the best of all time? Because no joke, thats funny. Hes good. But not the best by far. and Jay Z is gonna come back bigger then Eminem. Eminem will sell more because he is white. Eminem admits “if he was white he woulda sold half” You dont even have to graduate from high school to kno that, common.

  22. justin on October 30th, 2007 10:06 am

    eminem is hands down the best rapper alive. no one else alive is better. all these new rappers suck. plain and simple. no rhyming skills at all. just a bunch of club/pop bangers. theres very few actual lyricists out there. nas and jay are rite under him. can throw in kanye, talib, common, wu tang as other legit main stream artists. the only other good rappers out there are either underground, deceased, or not sure if there still makin music. like ice cube, scarface, lauryn hill, mos def, etc. but the g.o.a.t. is 2pac. no doubt. no questions asked. and for those who think jay is better, cmon. he just has a lot more albums them em. go listen to renegade and wat nas says on ether. its ova

  23. Sweet on November 1st, 2007 4:35 am

    Well by touching eminem you mean by dissing him and making eminem look bad i dont think anyone can. Seems like those who have tried just got bitch slapped and shut their mouth afterwards. But who can sell more records?..who knows, and who cares so much stuff is pirated these days it doesnt really say much.

  24. deez nuts on November 4th, 2007 4:20 am

    What the fuck. First of all to anyone that says Jigga is better then EM, listen to Renegade. Just like NAS said “Eminem murdered you on your own shit” Next to EM would be PAC then WEEZIE then EAZY then Biggie then Dre (and I only say dre cus he had some of the hottest beats of all time)If too short was so good would he still be rappin…no cus hes broke. Kayne is garbage, he cant make a beat without sampelin someone elses song. Nas was hot when he was produced by steve stout, then I AM and Still matic. 50 is hott but hype (seriously vitamin water made that dude too rich to care) Bottom line Eminem is a white dude dominating the rap game yet hes respected by all rappers and feared by some. To whoever says he’s fallin off….If you had over 100 mill in the bank would you be grindin like you were when you were broke?

  25. Frank on November 6th, 2007 6:48 am

    ok dudes. no one knows how to use their words right. the second someone says, “who’s best?” people immediately voice their opinions pathetically. first off, you can start by saying that Eminem is absolutely original. Do you people know what that word means? Do you use it accordingly? He’s original and that means no one else sounds like him. Nobody raps like him. You can be an imitator or try to sound like him, but in reality you are just ripping off his style. He composed his own style and his own lyrics from his own power. Also, his originality is very popular. Many people enjoy listening to his music. Now keep these things in mind and in context when you decide to compare other artists together.

  26. Frank on November 6th, 2007 6:58 am

    By the way, I forgot to mention, the rest of what you think is just your opinion anyway. There is really no way to decide entirely who is best and who is better than who. You might think being the best rapper is measurable by seeing who sells more, but that isn’t true. You might think the best rapper is who wins the most awards. Whoever you think is the best for any reason, is strictly what you think. I can say he is the best just because he is white. I’m a white-supremacist and since he’s white he is the best. What sense does that make? All that I’m saying is that all the people who posted their opinions aren’t using logic, which makes them critically mistaken. Sure, you think he’s the best because of his rhymes and style. So in other words what you are really saying is he is your favorite rapper because you enjoy the way he sounds to you more than NaS or Jay-Z or any other rapper. I enjoy many rappers’ music and for me to decide who is best isn’t possible BUT, if I HAD to chose who I liked the most I would pick my favorite rapper. To any of you reading this it should seem pretty obvious since I am wasting my time typing on this website.

  31. anthony on November 17th, 2007 12:27 pm

    yeah but krs-one is a pioneer of hip hop hes been going for more than 20 years he has 16 albums and 17 mixtapes he is a great battler freestyler and been forever consistant through out eminem had 3 great albums encore was a disaster since 50 cent has been near him he has turned commercial hopefully with 50 cent leaving he’ll get back to what he should do

  32. angel on February 13th, 2008 8:16 pm

    who compares lil wayne to eminem??
    if you put him in a rap battle with eminem..wayne would get murdered quick!

    oh and to “billy” if those underground rappers are so much better than em..why havent they got any recignition for it? if there so good why havent they blown up yet?

    thats like saying an AND1 b-ball player is better than a Pro
