Eminem is one of my favorite rappers and I have been listening to him since his original song "My name is" first came out. Eminem, lyrically, is easily a top 5 of all time rappers. Not many rappers I know can go toe to toe with him in a rap battle and come out with any shred of dignity. Come to think of it - I have never seen him lose a rap beef to anyone - Ja Rule, Benzino and a host of others got their careers ended by them.
