    I don't recall ever listening to Just Tryin' Ta Live but Imma change that now...Really nice list, to you what were the most difficult years to pick? I can think of at least 3-4 serious candidates for the top spot for 98.

    era is a big big big stretch. an year is exact. 2000 or 2002.
    the typical stan answer will be 1999-2004 em was the best rapper and thats simple not true. he wasnt that good and that consistent. but not even giving him one year is the complete opposite and its laughable. Especially when Kanye has 2 consecutive years. These days i am listening to Kanye more than every other rapper and actually today relistened to TCD and its great but really Late Registration and College dropout are good enough but TES is not?

    I'll be honest this is a solid effort but...absolutely horrendous list. Especially once you hit the late nineties and upwards. Devin the dude....?

    Wayne from 06-08 was a legendary run. He was releasing quality verses every day. I think its possibly where Thug got inspired to go on a similar run except not have the same commercial impact yet

    willing to bet you haven't listened to his album from that year or have never spent time south of st louis

    @KND @Section80 the fact that you two think this is some conspiracy is hilarious to me. eminem was a very good rapper. it's not like i'm putting will smith over him. he just was never the best rapper in the world at a given moment. that's not exactly slanderous.

    first of all, this is barely english. second, how little rap must you have listened to to honestly believe that saying someone's not the best rapper on the planet is the same thing as "acting like they didnt exist"
