Lil Wayne has declared it for the last two years, and if you ask his fans and many groupies they'll agree, but the man which he idolizes also has dibs on the title even though some say that Nas is clearly the superior emcee. So after all of the heated debates, Vibe magazine has decided to do something about the on going argument for the title of best rapper alive.

This tournament will poll 64 of the industries "best" rappers/emcees from past and present to see who comes out as the top dog. Some of the artist that will be featured in this tournament pool will be, Jay-Z. Nas, Lil Wayne, Joe Budden, Bow Wow, Trina, Lil Boosie, Soldier Boy,Bun B, Ludacris, and many more.

"The first round of voting begins July 21. Each round lasts one week followed by our version of The Final Four." To make the process even more interactive, fans have the opportunity to print out the tournament pool and fill it out with their predictions of who will come out as the winner of best rapper alive.

The tournament will officially begin in six day's with the voting process lasting a week at a time per round.

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…. This is gone be hot ish! As with MOST TOURNAMENT brackets, there will be controversy over seedings!

Whose EFFIN idea was it to put NAS @ #2 in EM’S BRACKET?? Not that it matters, cause QB’s finest will house whomever steps in his path, but that was pretty gay.

It’s funny how they put Em against Soulja Boy in the first round, LMFAO! HAHAHAAA… Hilarious… Then they put LAURYN AGAINST KIM, AND THEN SHE HAS TO FACE JAY NEXT? HOW FAIR IS THAT?? And whose idea was it to give Jay a first round bye? How the hell does he deserve that? And then, Jay has to face Cass, and to be honest…well, I’m thinkin’ in terms of real life, not the voters…

THEN, they put Mos up against Talib in the FIRST ROUND. WOW. WHO MADE THIS DAMN BRACKET???? I see they put Luda and T.I. in the same regional… ha… that should be interesting.

I continue: GHOST AGAINST RAE IN ROUND 1?? FRUSTRATING… while 3000 gets a CAKEWALK… who the hell is DIZZEE RASCAL??

RED AGAINST METH IN ROUND ONE? WOWWWWWWWWW.. Common against Black Thought in ROUND ONE??? Bus against Twista, but Snoop gets to go up against Bow Weezy… WOW….

In a REAL Tournament bracket… it goes 1-16, where 1 faces 16, 2 faces 15 and so on… for powerhouses to face each other in the first round is UNFAIRHOW THE HELL YOU GONE PUT LAURYN UP AGAINST JAY IN ROUND 2????

Damn that 2pac bracket looks sick right now with Em, Ghostface, Raekwon, Jada, Beans, Nas, and Joe Budden, and charismatic’s right, how the fuck they gonna put Rae and Ghost against each other in the first round, especially with Rae set to drop Cuban Linx 2, and the same with Beans vs. Jada and Nas vs Budden wtf is that shit. These niggas got the seeding all fucked up.

My prediction for the final 4 would be Jay vs Weezy and Em vs the Game with Jigga winning it all

My personal final 4 would be Jigga (close over Lupe) vs Scarface and Nas vs Crooked I (seeded at #14 wat the fuck were these niggas thinkin) with Nas as champ.

ALLOW ME TO OFFER AN IMPROVED SEEDING:

REMEMBER IT’S BEST RAPPER ALIVE: (ASK yourself, is Mike the best b’ball player alive as of 2008??? NO… HELL NO. So, let’s say that a rapper has to have dropped something @ least in this decade.)

#1 seeds: Nas, Jay-Z, Eminem, Ghostface Killah (for having, IMO, the 2007 RAP album of the year)

#2 seeds: Lauryn Hill (YEAH, I SAID IT), Jadakiss, Big Boi (for the LAST TIME, he’s better than 3,000), AZ (conveniently left off VIBE’S list and is better than 95% of ALL OF HIP-HOP)

#3 seeds: Andre 3,000, Raekwon The Chef, Busta Rhymes, Mos Def

#4 seeds: Scarface, Beanie Sigel, Black Thought, Talib Kweli

#5 seeds: Redman, Keith Murray (<— BOTH albums last year were NASTY), Lupe Fiasco, Method Man

#6 seeds: Common, Method Man (forgive me, Meth, Ghost & Rae are interchangeable), Cassidy, Prodigy

#7 seeds: Capone, Havoc, N.O.R.E., Freeway

#8 seeds: T.I., Ludacris, Foxy Brown, Lil’ Kim (2/3 of the greatest female emcees of their era! Shout out to Latifah, Lyte, & Bahamadia)

#9 seeds: Cam’ron, Wyclef Jean (Hip-Hop LEGEND), LL Cool J, Gillie Tha Kid

#10 seeds: Q-Tip, Joe Budden, Styles P, Peedi Crack

#11 seeds: Juvenile, Nelly (DOES make club bangers), Lloyd Banks, WHOMEVER THE BEST MEMBER OF BONE IS

#12 seeds: The Fresh Prince (FUCK WHAT Y’ALL HEARD: Big Willie Style WENT DIAMOND! PERIOD), Papoose, Twista, DMX

#13 seeds: The Game, Big Gipp (Goodie Mob), Fabolous, Snoop Dogg (fell off since Doggystyle)

#14 seeds: Pusha T, Juelz Santana, Young Buck, Sheek Louch

#15 seeds: 50 Cent, Remy Ma (hold ya head, baby!), Ja Rule, Kanye West

#16 seeds: Lil’ Mama (who proved to the world she could BLOW, on A Milli beat!), Eve (Has about 15+ BANGERS! (don’t 4get the Ruff Ryders years)), Mystikal, Xzibit (1 of the few dudes I like from West Coast)

RAP-IN WILD CARDS: Young Jeezy, Bun B, Bow Wow, Best member of Naughty By Nature, Chris, Neef Bucks, Cyserro, Peter Gunz, Slim Thug, Lil’ Flip, Little Brother, Lil’ Wayne, Mad Skillz, Mims (who claims he CAN rap), Missy Elliot (aaaargh), Chamillionaire, Nature, Cormega, Jim Jones (waste of time)

I want to add ONE MORE THING before I go to bed; this will give you guys (and girls) some FOOD FOR THOUGHT, (or rather, MIND WINE (-Nas)):

Remember back in 98-99, when the And 1 Mixtape FIRST came out? If you weren’t from New York, which I’m not (Camden, NJ), you were FASCINATED… Real talk, them boys take basketball to the NEXT LEVEL. With that being said, only ONE And 1 player, our boy Skip, has been able to transpose his game successfully in the league. Likewise, the quality of the game FELL OFF TREMENDOUSLY, since every kid in the hood began trynna imitate the And 1 guys, INSTEAD of working on their fundamentals, which is why SO MANY European guys are gettin’ drafted these days. And now that the initial 5-6 year infatuation with And 1 is OVER, I believe that most of us would agree that the playground ish is for the playground, and the dudes who can GET TO THE BASKET AND/OR REALLY SHOOT after all that damn fancy ass dribbling, are the dudes who are successful in the league.

I say all that to say this: for all you cats complaining about how low Joe Budden is ranked: HE’S AND 1. He, Papoose, and all the other underground cats who are allegedly “nasty”, but just can’t cut it in the LEAGUE. Joe Budden had one of the HOTTEST SINGLES of 200(4?) and all the momentum in the world… That was FOUR years ago… I know he’s dropped the mixtape Mood Muzik series, but come on now…Budden’s mainstream career is probably NOT GONNA HAPPEN.. SO Y’ALL PAP AND BUDDEN and Cyserro (who IS nice) fans need to let it go… IT’S NOT GONNA HAPPEN… WHERE’S THE DAMN ALBUM PAP??? They are underground, AND 1 guys…

Leave the playground where it belongs. I hope you all understood my analogy… Aiight, I’ve talked everyone to death… I’m OUT!

Trash me if yall want to, but this is gonna be THE FUNNIEST article ive ever read on Defsounds because for the next month all you read is niggaz bitching and whining because:

1. Lil Wayne will advance a few rounds
2. Their favorite rapper was left out
3. There are rappers that they feel should/shouldnt be on here (ex. Styles P off, Soulja Boy on) lol
4. Early matchups
5. And finally, crying foul because one rapper beats the other so they cry conspiracy theory.

Oh boy, i cant wait for this shit.

also one thing that i dont think you said, and not that it even matters, but i think i woulda had soulja slim bracket and big l bracket instead of big pun and pimp c, but thats just my taste…

Wow no Styles P, that tells me it’s just a popularity contest. It’s a nice idea, but this will not exceed in finding the best rapper alive but only the most liked/popular rapper alive. LMAO and talking about making fans choose Webbie vs. Boosie. Vibe will only succeed in making 64 rappers mad alone with their fans. I would really like for Lupe to win it all, but he’s not the most popular rapper alive.

This a tight concept and all but its not gonna prove anything whoever wins… well unless its some1 other than Wayne…. im a Wayne fan but I honestly do not think he will win this… He might be the hardest working, most creative, and most popular alive but not the best… yet, he is improving and you haters cant deny it… well i guess thats what u would call it cuz it seems he is not as good lyrically as he used to be but he got way more energy and charisma but his lyrics are gettin back up there his head just got too big…

I hope these arent the offical 1st rounds. Kanye vs. Foxy? Wayne vs. Trina? when they got Mos Def vs. Talib and Cass vs. Fabo… now those are matches i dunno what up wit that Foxy and Trina shit…. anyways we will see what happens

I will predict this right now and I am almost 100% sure I will be right. The final matchups from each bracket are as follows:
(Notorious BIG Bracket) – Jay-Z vs Kanye West
(Tupac Bracket) – Nas vs Eminem
(Pimp C Bracket) – Lil Wayne vs T.I.
(Big Pun Bracket) – Andre 3000 vs Game

Those are the top 8

Tupac Bracket – Eminem (lol..Soulja Boy), Lloyd Banks, Nelly (WTF?), Ghostface (thats a hard choice), Big Boi, 50 Cent, Jadkiss, Nas

Big Pun Bracket – 3 Stacks, Method Man (hard pick), Pusha T, Common (another hard pick), Busta, Crooked I (he is better than Game, I don’t wanna hear that fan base shit), Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg


Third Round, Biggie Bracket – Jay-Z, Fabolous, Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli ( he is better than Kanye..and it’s TRUE!!)

Pimp C Bracket – Lil Wayne, Scarface, Ludacris, Chamillionaire

You’re obviously not an “avid hiphop listener” if you don’t know who 3 Stacks (Andre 3000) is. Outkast is known for selling millions and millions of records so how can you imply that 3 Stacks doesn’t have a big fanbase?

How can they put someone who makes Dance songs in the “Best Rapper Alive” category beside someone who is lyrical.

What does this mean for future Mc’s… These list are total bullshit all they do is stir up controversy and cause more division in Hip Hop.

I feel that fam, but that won’t get it either because not all of these rappers are battle rappers, Cass would murder half tha competition in 6-8 bars because he breaths battle as do some others, but can we master a beat and a chorus and then tell them to spit, will they make a hot song on call, I don’t know…there are just too many variables and that is tha real reason this whole contest is lose, lose from jump…but it ain’t about tha contest, it’s just about reviving hip-hop, this is going to be a sure fire way, and you can believe rappers gon be saying oh I don’t care this and that, but tha ones who are urked tha wrong way will be in tha studio without a doubt or dropping mad freestyles and random songs trying to prove they hot…some will even say “F” it and voice they opinions over tha radio starting small beefs, this one little contest will surely get tha blood flowing back into hip-hop young and old just proving that HIP HOP IS NOT DEAD…so everyone wins, above all tha bullsh**, and tha most important person wins…HIP HOP..

Tha competition itself is BS and is lose, lose, but tha motive behind it is win, win and that’s real talk, those rappers who are rubbed tha wrong way will come out and do they thing and those rappers who are still like “F” it will go back to doing whatever they was doing…

I dont think people who come up with these ideals get the big picture. Hip Hop itself is a culture. With their being a culture, there are “genres” of rap in different regions you go in the US & Throughout the world. It would have been better to come up with the “Best Lyrical Rapper Alive List” Or “The Best Dance Artist Alive List”…etc… It can go on and on. This clearly shows that you cannot combine genres of Rap into one list its stupid in the long term. Look at Rock for example. How many genres of it are there? Alot right? When you say the best Rock artist you are saying the Best at What they do which is Rock itself. This Best list left Alot of people off whos been consisted throughout the years then they put someone who was on the “Hottest Right Now List” beside someone who whole career is greater in a million years. We already had the Hottest Right Now List, Put someone on there whos been consisted their whole career, not someone whos hot right now or have been since the 2000’s. SMH!!!

This is the biggest joke of all. Man, I can’t believe vibe would come up with such bullshit. I mean, they are like the most mature megazine compared to the source and xxl. And sticking eminem and Nas in a same bracket with souljah boi, I feel offended. They don’t f’ing know what they are doing, I’m pissed now and it’s really hard to piss me off. Altho they are just doing this to get hits on their site or whatever, vibe has hit a new low. Don’t they know already?
As Jin the MC said perfectly

This whole tournament is very ignorant.. the seeding is screwed up. styles p, saigon,and red cafe aren’t on the chart. Simply they picked the fans choices.. first of all half the ppl up on the seedings aren’t freestyle rappers. And to anyone who thinks jay-z or nas will win is illiterate(everyone is ready for them dudes..they have nothing to say against anyone but eachother). My personal opinion is that ppl like lloyd banks, cassidy, fab, raekwon, budden, game, common, talib, mos def, game, jeezy, 50(yes i said it) and of course em, duh are the only ones with a real chance if any of them aren’t the champ in the end the whole process and tournement is full of sh**. lastly lil wayne-(one of the space cockaroaches from men in black) is a garbage rapper that says useless and retarded sh*, too many drugs i guess…

All this is going to lead to is Eminem V.S. Jay-z which is what alot of people have been waiting on any way’s thats the true battle. But I’m want to see what will happen if em and 50 face each other if 50 makes it that far.

My predictio for final 4 eminem V.S. andre 3000 Jay-z V.S. lil wayne

but I doubt eminem will when cause black people sometimes are blinded by their own raceisim and some peole dont want to see a white rapper hold that title. But I for one do think eminem is the best rapper alive and im a straight up nigga.

you sound stupid what you mean its voted that mean that the people who listen to hip-hop will actually have a say on who’s the best alive not just 12 people who sit around a table at mtv and suck jay-z dick.

and the list is very relevent, you are right about what you said about nas jay and not haveing an impact on this generation, but their impact on the game is bigger than this entire generation weather you young cats like it or not expect the old heads to go far in the competition on the young guy’s to drop out early.

they said from the past and present…i dont think em or nas is better than one another (they should both be 1 seeds if they could) but eminem in as an industrial artist is better than nas because he sold more records and is lyrically one of the best
nas is a different rapper than eminem because he has that story telling flow and raps about different things than eminem
eminem has tracks where he is high, angry, funny, killin people (lol), dissin people, etc so he is deserving of a #1 spot and i wouldnt even be dispappointed if he made it to the end of the competition

What has em done over that past 4 years to get the number one seed over nas simple, not put out shitty records, not bow down to his enime and take the L win he already the w. people dont realize the shit em has done for the game.

While em havent put out a album in four years nas and jay-z half put albums that are way below there efforts I would rather not have an album than to have one showing that im not as almighty as i thought I was.

And four the people who keep saying that eminem only raps about his mom and his wife or daughter please go pick up a eminem album cause the marshell mathers lp is alot better than your favorit rapper’s best album.

I can easily say all jay-z raps about is money hoe’s and cloth’s and the same with about 95% of the rappers on that list eminem his one of the few that actually satnds out along with andre 3000.

That’s real talk dude, and so true, they will sh** a brick if Wayne wins, but if NAS, HOV, or EM win then its tha truest bracket ever…I laugh at that ish too, that’s why I said its an impossible thing, and is not about what it’s about, it’s just a diversion and it’s true means is to spark life in hip-hop…maybe we’ll get some new albums and music from these artist who get beat by people they feel they shouldn’t have lost to and if not, then back to whatever they was doing…but this whole thing is BS because it’s like Wayne say when tha media keep trying to start beef with him and Jay by asking him do he think he better, or do he think he tha best, or what does he think when someone say to him someone else is better…If someone else say a person is better, than they prolly right, you can’t control someone’s mind, but he gotta think he tell himself he tha best because he gotta look himself in tha mirror everyday; and I agree with him, why do people have to be so ignorant and dumb-founded to tha fact that he ain’t gon come out and say “oh I don’t think I’m tha best and there are other better rappers than me, but I’m going to make music, and hope people buy it”…how dumb do that sound, but that’s how people act like they want him to talk, it’s just atrocious…and why is it BLACKS are tha only race who still have to do this type of ish…you will never see this ish with Whites, Mexicans, Asians, or no other race…Damn I know it’s innately in us to be tha best because of our history and all that, but set that sh** aside and can we focus on something real for once other than who is tha fastest, who is tha best rapper, who is tha best basketball player, I mean this ish was happening as far back as in Kindergarten and as an adult it seems that it’ll never change, we always gotta prove who tha best is only to prove that we couldn’t prove it so we gotta do it again…

and this is why I don’t believe it’s even about tha contest, but about sparking tha competition…as a kid you don’t know what you’re doing but if you lose you go home and get better at whatever it is you lost at, well for these rappers if they lose they’ll go into tha booth and try and prove why they shouldn’t have lost and if not, life goes on

(BIG FINAL) Jay-Z Vs Kanye West = Jay-Z
(PIMP C FINAL) Lil Wayne Vs T.I. = Lil Wayne
(2 PAC FINAL) Eminem Vs Nas = Nas
(BIG PUN FINAL) Andre 3000 Vs The Game = The Game

(FINAL FOUR #1) Jay-Z Vs Lil Wayne = Jay-Z (Glastonbury)
(FINAL FOUR #2) Nas Vs The Game = Nas (Impact ON The Game And Amount Of Classic Albums, and people talking about everything he does)

BEST RAPPER ALIVE FINALJAY-Z VS NAS = JAY-Z
(Winner Of The Battle And Heres Why…Takeover Was 1:40 of him dissin nas setting up to super ugly Which was harsh and crazy at the same time, and EVERYTHING HE SAID WAS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. While IN Ether It Was more of PLayground Jokes and fabrication…Jay Wasnt 36 IN A KARATE CLASS IN 2001!!!!!) (ALSO JAY SIGNED NAS)…(THEYVE BEEN OUT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME JAY IS A BOSS & NAS IS AN ARTIST STILL) They Both Have Classic Albums and are Direct Decendents Of THe Big And 2 Pac Era. How 2 Pac Dissed Them Both (WHICH PAC WOULD HAVE LOST) And BIGS Silent War With Nas (Look It Up)

IN Conclusion, The Term “BEST RAPPER ALIVEWAS CREATED BY JAY-Z And On all Levels Its Where The Title Stays, As Nas is also Nearing The End Of His Career, and T.I’s Legal Troubles…The Rappers With Success Sales And Rap Skills And Unfortunate Brackets Who Are in the Running and Will takeover aRE KANYE WEST, LIL WAYNE, THE GAME And On A Long Shot if He Can Get A Great Situation…Joe Budden.

My First Round Predictions:

Big Bracket

Cassidy
Missy
Lupe
Mos Def
KAnye West

Pimp C Bracket

Lil Wayne
Webbie
Bun B
Scarface
Young Jeezy
Luda
Chamillionaire
T.I.

Tupac Bracket
Eminem
Young Buck
Nelly
Ghostface
Big Boi
50 Cent
Jadakiss
Nas

Big Punisher Bracket
3000
Methodman
Pusha T
Common
Twista
The Game
ICe Cube
Snoop Dogg


Dr. Dre and Krayzie Bone should really be apart of this in my opinion.

My final 4

Jay Z
T.I
Eminem
Snoop Dogg

I wouldn’t be surprised if lil wayne won it because of all his dedicated10-14 year old fans and the fact that girls like him. Doesn’t mean he is the best this is just a popularity contest.

I hope everyone realize this is NOT: THA GREATEST RAPPRER EVER [up to date tournament] I think tha whole thing is already fictitious and full of BS because how can it be BEST RAPPER ALIVE and Tupac ain’t alive…why do they never clarify this ish, I know it’s not hottest Rapper or Emcee out right now, but it’s rapper alive, which is BS all in all because there is only one person who can really give me solidification as to who is tha best rapper and that is Kool Herc; he started all of this and I know I’ve been in tha forefront depending rappers for just being apart of tha evolution which is to say that don’t mean they ain’t hot, just not hot to what type of hip-hop you know…but how can anyone really sit up here and act like they can do a vote that is contradictory to begin with before it even starts….

So if Grandmaster Flash and Marley Marl came out and said so in so is tha best and nobody bought they music [and don’t trip they lyrics was easy at times and real at others but there wasn’t no in depth word play like everyone be crying over nowadays, but they did spit, so don’t knock they credibility] I dare you to bang that “White Lines” or tha “Message” by Grandmaster and tell me it ain’t speaking] but what would it mean if nobody bought tha person’s music who they deemed was really one of tha best, as respected as they are, hmmm, all I’m saying is don’t take this ish too serious, it counts but it don’t mean too much, because kids and adults still gon go buy that SBoy: Youuuuuuuuuu bullsh** and say he one of tha best, hell can you believe he even on tha list…I love his hustle but that’s where it stops; damn I need to get something catchy and find tha right avenue and in one year my name will be mentioned in tha same breath as Jay-Z’s for real

They need to clarify what it is all about… Some people think that it is about, who will a battle between the two? Who is hotter right now? Who sells better? This tournament is about who has the better lyrics, not who has the better beats or dance steps… So even if u are from the streets like Plies is suppose to be. The MAN FUCKIN LYRICS STINK!!! So vote due to lyrics and not beats and who sells more. Cuz truth be told. Shaq & Will Smith sold a lot more than some damn good rappers. So SELLS DONT MATTER!!!!

pimp c bracket tough cause they all on the same level after 2 rounds wayne will prolly take it cause all the dick riders it should be T.I. tho. big pun bracket tough to.

Okay well the whole problem with alot of you ppl is you do not know what being a RAPPER is. This contest is not the best LYRICIST ALIVE its the best RAPPER.

Qualifications for RAPPER’s:

-Lyrics
-Consistency
-Creativity
-Charisma/Swagger
-Success (Sales)
-Popularity

I dunno how so many of you ppl hate on Wayne but he sold 1.5 Million so quick so all of you haters MUST be closet Wayne fans cuz there is no way only ppl buyin his shit like u ppl say is 14 yr olds and Bitches…

And based on the above criteria Wayne has a great chance! And YOU KNOW as much as u dont like it that he will be in the final four. And if alot of white ppl vote (Face it u closet racists who think white ppl just cant know or have any relevance in Hip-Hip when white ppl generate over 70% of album sales) then Nas dont stand a chance cuz of the way he carries himself in this new age of hip hop. Jay-Z might have a chance cuz he still da shit but Kingdom Come was horrible hes lucky he put out American Gangsta…. And Eminem… as much as I like Em… he dont stand a fuckin chance… he just aint relevant no more… WHERE DA FUCK IS HIS MUSIC?!?!? What has he done recently… he had his time when he was on top but just not no more… Andre 3k and Face should make it far and even Bun B all three of them deserve it but they wont just because of the ppl that will be voting… its all the New age shit…. Wayne will win by a mile… its a guarantee…. just face it…. and i feel very confident saying this I KNOW i wont have to eat my words… sorry Nas and Em…

RAPPING IS NOT ALL ABOUT SALES… Majority of the best MC’s are not even signed. THese wack ass record companies just want rappers to do some stupid ass D4L dance or spit some bubble gumm shit. SO SALES MEAN NOTHING.. Look at who & what is selling and being played on the radio.. 99.9% bullshit.. My 12 year old daughter can rap better than 99.9% of those garbage ass candy rappers. As a matter of fact…… They are not even rappers… They are CIRCUS CLOWNSYES IM INCLUDING lil wayne too.. Yeah I said it.. he is overated as hell… SInce he is the self proclaimes best rapper, why doesnt he battle for his record deal ???? BECAUSE HE WOULDT STAND A FUCKING CHANCE B

O im sorry i didnt realize my comment said whats makes a rapper is his sales…. dumbass…. ANd what makes THE BEST rapper does include his sales u fuck boy…. And i do agree that alot of this bullshit music on the radio is wack as hell and gives hip hop a bad name… seems like another dude from the south gets rich everyday with a song about BS….

I just dont see how you ppl can include Wayne in that. You act like Lollipop was his first hit or somethin… IT WAS FOR DA FUCKIN LADIES…. he was trying to appeal to ppl who ACTUALLY buy albums… Wayne is a fucking beast on the mic and every other rapper knows it… and you haters just makin him more famous… for real… might as well stop hatin or just keep that shit quiet cuz u just making things worse for urself

FIRST OF ALL !! How in the fuck do you have a best rapper alive tournament WITHOUT PAPOOSE..??? This just baffles the fuck outa me. Even if you dont like PAP, EVERYBODY knows he is hands down by far the best LYRICIST/Rapper out there. I know some Lil Wayne dick riders are going to be mad now but the truth is the truth. A rap tounament without PAPOOSE is like the Bible without Jesus. SHit I can name another 4 rappers that should be up ther thats not. Corey Gunz & Saigon just to name 2. THis tournament is VOIDHIP HOP IS DEAD THANKS TO SOUTH RAP !!!!!! Brooklyn Stand Up

I don’t think some of the first round match ups are fair. First off, if 50 Cent is a 3 seed, Nas should have already won the event. I hate how they got the Clan members against each other, Ghost vs. The Chef, and Meth vs. Red. And most of all, they got my man Talib going against Mos in the first round. Them cats are like bread and butter, you can’t have one without the other.

I wonder in the 2nd round when The Game and Busta go at it, who will win? Those are two completely different styles of rap. I’ll take Big Boi in the 2nd round over 50 Cent too. Outkast rules, and Aquemini alone tops 50’s complete discography.

My final words are, why the hell isn’t Rakim or Gza in this shit. Fuck these one hit wonder mainstream cats. Gza would run that [b]Big L bracket[/b] for the real artists if there was one. I don’t see how Pimp C gets a bracket any Big L doesn’t. Another artist that should be on the charts is MF Doom.

Hip-Hop is not dead . . . RIP Big L!

I Agree with the comment above……If there was an ELITE 8 in this I gotta go Number 1 Seeds 1)Jay-Z 1)The Game 1)Cassidy & Last But Not Least 1) Nas Those would be the number 1 seeds the next four would have to go like this Jadakiss would get a 2)Seed next would be 3)Seed Andre 3000 Next Seed 3)Young Jezzy My sleeper is like a Low Seed 11) Ya Boy

My Final 4 would be 1)Jay-Z over 3)Young Jezzy
1)The Game over 11)Ya Boy
1)Nas Over 3)Andre 3000
2)Jadakiss Over 1)
Cassidy

Semi-Finals
1)The Game Over 2)Jadakiss
1)Nas Over 1)Jay-Z

Old School Era Finals 1)The Game vs 1)Nas Winner-Nas

Rappers in my tournament-Eminem,Papoose,Kanye West,Lil Wayne,Ice Cube,Kurupt,Beanie Sigel,Bun B,Julez Santana,B.G,Scarface,Snoop Dogg,Fabolous,Shyne,T.I,Young Buck,Styles P,Llyod Banks,Ludacris,GZA,50 Cent,D.J Quik,Hussein Fatal,Freeway,Sheek,Juvenile,Busta Rhymes,G.Malone,Common,Obie Trice,Mos Def,Lupe Fiasco,Canibus,Rick Ross,Paul Wall,Royce 5’9,Chamillionaire,Talib Kweli,CamRon,DMX,Prodigy,KRS 1, Rakim,Crooked I,Ghostface,Method Man,Twista,Pusha T
,Big Boi,Lauryn Hill,L.L Cool J,AZ,Havoc,Krayzie Bone,Redman & Layzie Bone

That’s the best field of 64 you can get NO PUFFY,NO LIL KIDS REAL RAPPERSSOME WHERE LEFT OUT BECAUSE JUST TO ME THEY CAN’T GO WITH THE BIG BOYS NIGGAZ LIKE -Nelly(Sweat & Suit Nuff Said),Baby (Horrible It’s Like Listening To A Drunk Ass Lil Flip),Lil Flip(The More Money He Got The Worst He Got), Memphis Bleek (The R.O.C’s Roster Was To Deep & He Got Stuck On The Bench),Soulja Boy (Joke) He’s Not A Rapper,Fat Joe (Still Taking Shit Outta Pun’s Rap Book),Tony Yayo (Needs To Steal Someones Rap Book),Jim Jones (Too Old To Be Dressing Like A 19 Year Old),Trina (Take Away That Azz & She Has No Deal)……

I Think That’s The Best Field Of 64 I Can Come Up With It Would Take To Long To Match Them Up But Let Me Say It Cassidy & Wayne Would Be In The Same Bracket & As You See Cassidy Wins Easy With My List Wanye Might Get To The Final 16 To Face Cassidy (Big Maybe) And If You A Wayne Dick Rider Don’t Get Mad It’s Just My Opinion He’s Not Tight He’s Cool But No He’s Not Tight……….

whoever made this “tournament”
vibe or whatever…
is smoking rocks…
i dont know why soulja boy is even mentioned in this..
whoever put him in there needs to take a microphone,
wrap it around their neck, jump off the sears tower and kill themselves…
i cant even believe RAKIM isnt mentioned… let alone KRS ONE
this is just another popularity contest… if these people on here
dont actually confront eachother on stage and battle it out,
then this whole thing is complete GARBAGE and a waste of time and effort..
how the hell you gonna have a “Best Rapper Alive” tournament
and not even have these emcees battle????
thats just fucking whack in so many ways….
