My fav's right now are Aesop and Em... So obviously i'm gonna think they are the best. And there is no way youc an say 50 is the best...Let alone good at all.

By Far JAY-Z they guy is a genius but since he is gone which is questionable its going to be someone from THE Roc thats going to step up and if not it will be Sheek Louch from D Block NIggas Crazy!!!!!

BeST EVER WAS bIG.

kANYE GOT IT LOCKED RIGHT NOW. jAY-z IS ALSO THA SHIT.

Canibus

i would say da best rapper now is
Em
Jay-Z
Busta
and some of Mobb Deep (shook 1's part 2)

and the all time best rapper is 2pac by far

right now...cassidy...before he went commerical with "HOTEL"
Young Chris from young gunz is on a different level
Nas is still killin tracks....

MC Juice is lyric and flow r the shit

Atmosphere
 

Slug is probably the best rapper out there.
Eyedea is the best freestyler.
Qwel is hot too, maybe unknown prophets or Aesop Rock :evilgrin:

eyedea is dope as hell, but i say juice is better. my opinion Em is the best or the underground emcees like supernatural, aesop, slug, juice, eyedea, might have a chance. so does jay-z.

It's all about Nas innit?

to me it's prolly a tie wit Em and that dude that won interscope presents...his names Spitfiya...He's on the Barber Shop 2 sound track...I like Twista a lot too...all the rappers that spit quick shit...all dope as fuck
