Stop The Madness: Eminem Voted As The Best Rapper Alive Over Jay-Z
VIBE has today announced Eminem as the winner of the Best Rapper Alive competition. The Detroit native beat out New York’s rap king Jay-Z in the Final Round with 69 percent of the votes, crowning him as the people’s choice for the true king of hip hop. The results of the contest are detailed in VIBE’s November 2008 issue hitting newsstands October 21st.
“It’s obviously an honor to have won the fans’ support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive,” says Eminem in response to his victory. “I don’t think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do. But since Vibe’s offering the distinction, hell yeah I’ll accept!”
More than 920,000 votes were cast since the contest began on July 21, 2008.
Em hasn’t even dropped an album since 2004 and he is put over Jay-Z?

gtfoh @2
If u think the reason y people disagree with the vibe vote is coz emimem is white..
This is a SIGN of what will happen in the election if black people get complacent and just think that obama is on for the white house… Thats how i see the vibe vote.. Tru hiphop people where complacent that jayz would win so never botherd lol
THIS IS THE WAKE UP CALL lol

Eminem is by far the best rapper of all time…people say Jay Z is the best of all time and all i have to say is Eminem killed Jay Z on his own track “Renegade” J would agree that eminem is better no one wants to go after EM…that would be career ending to any rapper…Jay Z loves to jack other peoples lines anyways
