Jin Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 It's time to put all the chips on the table. Who has the best lyrics? The flyest style? The dopest hooks? You decide. Last year, you told the world who The Best Rapper Alive was. Looking back, it's no surprise that Eminem won the whole shebang. Now we're thinking even bigger. Starting May 18, 2009 VIBE will open up voting for hip hop's best MC ever, including legendary voices from the Golden Age, crucial stars from the Platinum Era as well as today's Twittering titans. Until then, let the barbershop debates begin! http://www.vibe.com/bestrapperever/ http://www.vibe.com/bestrapperever/bracket1_rd1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ataraxia Posted May 15, 2009 Members Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Man, that format sucks. If they wanna find out the 'Best Rapper Alive' they should just let people vote freely. Not pit rappers against each other in rounds. It's a set up (I mean, 2Pac vs. Piles? Meh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsJim89 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 This is definitely a set up. It should be a poll or something. This isnt NCAA...no brackets are needed. Will Smith vs Hammer? Of course Will, Hammer doesn't have great lyrics or a great flow really. Great entertainer but ehh.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romano338 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) If Will win, it is against Eminem (I think he will beat Play-in Winner, even if I don't know him :D) Edited May 15, 2009 by Romano338 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Tiger Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yeah, it's totally setup for certain rappers to advance. Will will go against Eminem and Eminem will be voted through. I think they could have chose better songs for some of these rappers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Lil' Wayne will probably end up winning the whole thing since mostly 12 year olds who know nothing real hip hop read Vibe these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 lil wayne, eminem or tupac is gonna win it. we should place bets. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigie Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 i would find really interesting if tupac gets declared Vibe best rapper Alive of 2009 :sipread: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIsqo Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 lol!!!! Maybe Jay Z can win this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcpbball30 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Interesting bracket, the first round matchup of Talib Kweli and Common is crazy, there is no way they should face off in the first round, they are both legends. The matchups seem to be set up between rappers with similar styles and not necessarily a realistic seeding.

JumpinJack AJ Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I saw the article on this in the new Vibe but hadn't read it yet. Weird voting set up....but lets support real Hip-Hop anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 If u click on FP's name close 2 the end of that list, it'll take u 2 a very basic page about him. There's a few pix on there of him performing that i've never seen before. Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
