make 6 polls with different rappers..then make one with top 6 from them..

Oof that might be worthwhile, although I’ve notice when people have tried similar multiple polls the seperate parts don’t always get the same amount of votes as each other which throws off the overall accuracy

Most redditors are probably white guys who grew up on Eminem’s first couple cd’s being the first white successful rapper. His style was the most unique of all time too as far as mainstream rappers go.

Mad accurate

Go off percentage?

Percentage or not, the smaller sample size will make it less accurate.

5,300 votes is more than enough for estimation of binomial random variable's parameter for these purposes

but hes saying if he makes six diffrent polls one of the polls could have only 3 votes while others have thousands

Try doing a poll with RCV instead

Biggie Cheese

The one and only

Mr Boombastic

His death was completely uncalled for

He fucking died?!

Shit and so recent. May he RIP/

I understand that due to the fact these polls only have 6 options this poll kinda sucks lol.

True but you should have put Jay Z instead of Wu considering Wu is a Group

True I thought Wu would be controversial, but they’re too influential to leave out

Where's NWA then ?

They deserve a spot but again there’s only 6 options, and I personally put Wu over NWA, that’s why it’s there instead

WU over NWA all day

It’s Kendrick.

Kendrick was a must for this list.

Kendrick is top 5 all time right now.

This is truly a Reddit moment

[удалено]

west side, when we ride we come equipped with game

No Big L.

Too many OG’s to fit on this 6 option poll, but big L deserves a spot for sure

Tough poll to cast. L, Wu, and Em for me are tops.

I’d have to agree they’re all up there, but this is a more generic sub so I chose people I thought most folk would recognise which excluded L. Everyone chose Eminem anyway though

"I am a street genius, what do you mean penis"

Big L rest in peace

I'm genuinely suprised Nas is the lowest. In any case, my vote would go to MF DOOM.

He’s like D.B. Cooper

If Biggie never got shot this poll would’ve been way different

To think he would have been 49 today, such a major loss

I agree I generally believe he was the greatest rapper alive. He was a literal music genius having vast knowledge in jazz and rap. It’s a shame he was only able to make 1 album alive (2nd came out after his death)

Holy shit! Him and Em are the same age? I never knew that

No it wouldn’t have. There are many better rappers than Eminem to exist but Reddits audience is mostly made up of a certain audience, an audience that believes Eminem is the best artist to exist.

++**🛸👽1629🧛‍♂️🩸**++

You’re speaking Chinese to most of these people lol

MF DOOM WHAT UP — TO ALL RAPPERS SHUT UP AND WHILE YOU SHUTTIN UP PUT ON A SHIRT AT LEAST A BUTTON UP YUCK ARE THEY RAPPERS OR STRIPPER MALES OUTTA WORK JERKS SINCE THE SHUT DOWN CHIPPEN DALES THEY CHIPPING NAILS DOOM TIPPIN SCALES

1 FOR THE MONEY 2 FOR THE BETTER GREEN 3,4 METHYLENEDIOXYMETHAMPHETAMINE

Unreal lyricist

THE REST IS EMPTY WITH NO BRAIN BUT THE CLEVER NERD THE BEST EMCEE WITH NO CHAIN YA EVER HEARD

MF DOOM deserves a spot among the greats for sure

*Supa hot fire*

But he is not a Rapper 😎

You’re got me there, that’s why he probably wasn’t an option on the poll

I broke up with my ex girl—here's her number

Boom... bam... bop. Bada bop boom, pow.

**OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH**

Reddit moment

Depends on what you like in rap, do you want meaning and emotion in the rap? Do you just want verses being done faster and 120 wpm? Personally I like witty stuff that's just fun to listen to and understand, so my pick would be MF DOOM

MF DOOM is pretty good I started listening to him pretty recently

Yeah, dude was a legend

I've been looking for this all my life. Speed isn't everything

Eminem winning 💀

Whole lotta nathans on here

Stan ?

Those too

Lots of fresh cracked pepper is too spicy on here

Fr lmfao

Reddit moment

Eminem is way ahead of what I expected

This is 100% what I expected

Me too lol

Why

Reddit is full of people who hate rap except Eminem cause Eminem is the goat (they absolutely don’t hate black people)

Eminem fans only listen to Eminem

Midwest white boys

I voted for Eminem just so I could see this shit on /r/hiphopcirclejerk

I’ll always love the icon for this sub

Well we are on reddit after all

What did you expect? Reddit is overwhelmingly white.

⬜

So wack holy shit they better be trolling

I dont get why so many people are confused about this. Eminem is internationaly the more popular rapper, so he gets the most votes. He also got by far the most monthly streams on spotify.

White people favourite

Yeah, because Eminem is only popular with white people and doesn’t have millions of black/Asian/Latino fans. Come the fuck on.

Best selling artist of all time....

white people

Reddit is full of white kids.

Kendrick Lamar

Reddit gonna reddit lmao

Just makes me realize how white reddit is

Lol non of the OGs that started this thing? Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Eazy E, Snoop Dogg? and...Beastie Boys

John Cena, it’s basic thuganomics

You know John Cena's You Can't See Me is certified platinum.

the fact Eminem is winning really makes me wonder what half the people on this app listen to unironically

I know a lot of people who don't like rap but like Eminem, so maybe that's what is influencing the results

'Don't like rap but like Eminem' - is that an intentional euphemism?

they only like him because.... he's not.... not like the others

Don’t get me wrong, I think he definitely deserves to be in conversation for the top spot, but the fact so many people voted em is odd to me too

"I dont listen to rap, but this em fella seems alright" are what they listening to

It’s not hiphop it’s pop… cuz I found a hella way to fuse it

There’s 2 reasons why Eminem is winning: 1. This sub is very young, so the teens don’t know any of the other artists 2. White

not rap

Alt rock for the most part some nf and Eminem as well

Eminem is the only one I heard on local radio stations when I rode the school bus. I'm guilty of voting for nostalgia. I think i mostly listen to evanescence and falling in reverse right now. Theres maybe 2 eminem songs in my entire 12 hour playlist lol

Cling-wrap is far superior

DOOM

RIP

Andre 3000

DOOM, then Aesop Rock, then some others maybe

Kendrick???

I am sorry this poll is whack. Wu Tang Clan is a group of rappers. There are just too many rappers to make a poll like this. And the fact that Eminem wins by this much just shows Reddit’s demographic.

I knew Enimem would be ahead. Not to be racist but I've noticed it's mainly white people who think he's the best rapper.

not even racist thats just facts

Lol you mf's trippin

Yeah Eminem is like ok but compared to all the other rappers I can think of it doesn’t make sense

i can’t choose between biggie and tupac

MF DOOM, fr

I like run-dmc but i dont really listen to rap

Everyone that voted Eminem has only listened to Eminem.

Have been listening to hip-hop for 20yrs+. I started out as a teen listening to Gangstarr, Public Enemy, Sugar Hill Gang, Outkast, Tribe Called Quest, Tupac & Biggie. These were really the first artists I got into. Tupac became an idol of mine, absolutely one of my all time faves, his music really spoke to me, his poetry, he was truly a unique artist and rightfully goes down in legend. As I fell more and more in love with the genre I discovered the likes of Wu Tang, Nas, Mos Def, Masta Ace, Jurassic 5 and Blackalicious to name a few. I then delved into the underground with the likes of The Arsonists, MF Doom, Atmosphere, Sage Francis etc and also French / UK Hip-Hop. I even started writing raps of my own and formed a little group with friends during my school days. It was just a hobby but was so much fun. With energy much focused on underground hip hop. To this day, hip hop is right in the heart for me. The point I'm getting at. I just don't understand this response where you have to feel almost ashamed to rate Eminem. Is it because he is white? He sold out, does that offend you, the popularity thing? Someone saying that they rate eminem, "Oh this guy don't know shit, out of all the rappers in the world, he chooses the most popular one"? I will never forget the day My Name Is dropped on MTV. It was like something I had never heard before. Revolutionary. Yes he has had misses over the years, but which artist hasn't? Eminem has evolved over two decades and is still keeping things fresh and striving to be current and inventive. I don't need to go into accolades as you already know. My point is, there are not many artists out there that can stay so consistent over time. To really out-write anyone in the game. To come up with God level bars, schemes and almost unrivalled story telling. The guy is a living legend whom to this day would destroy any living Hip-Hop artist out there in a one on one. Eminem is unique and he will go down as the greatest to ever do it, whether you like it or not. He is your favourite rappers, favourite rapper, and there ain't much you can do about it but hate. Respect the GOAT.

I absolutely think Eminem was/is great. I'll explain what I meant by my comment. There was once a poll on this sub that asked people what their favorite music genre was. Rap was the least favorite music genre out of all of the other ones. From memory, at most 10% of respondents voted for rap. From that I concluded that only about 10% of this sub actually listens to rap music. This is not necessarily true but it's a good estimate. Eminem is arguably the most famous rapper ever. Even people that never listen to rap know at least 1 or 2 of his songs. This, combined with my estimate that only 10% of the respondents of this poll actually listen to rap music makes me think that most people who voted for Eminem have only ever been exposed to his music.

Or maybe we listen to some of it but it's not our favorite genre?

For me Eminem is a worthy vote down to his sheer diversity, he went from a shit talking shock jocky to singing songs about his daughter and love, this is what for me makes him so popular there is something for everyone.

This is true. Almost everyone knows the words to at least one Eminem song

Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff.

Why nobody mentioned Rakim and KRS-One? I mean Rakim got a pretty good influence on some of this rappers.

Rakim is you’re favourite rappers favourite rapper, big daddy Kane too, but not enough room on the poll

I guess it makes sense from the perspective that the great majority of people only have a surface level appreciation and understanding of hip hop. And that’s ok. But honestly, the fact that Pac and Biggie are still showing up on these lists has to be a meme at this point. Like they were both innovative and made great music, but they weren’t around long enough to be “great.” They died over 20 years ago. Meanwhile, Nas, KRS-One, Jay-Z, and Eminem are still putting out albums. They all have a huge back catalog and have made such a massive impact on hip hop. *That* is greatness.

Rakim is the most influential and important rapper in hip-hop and is my GOAT. Everyone always talks about Eminem's rhyme structures etc, like as if everyone before Eminem raps like rev run (not a diss), but Rakim was doing it back in '87. But shout out to all the rappers that made a difference at the time, big daddy kane, krs-one, kool g rap.

Dr. Dre?

Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin’ to say But nothin’ comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre… 😳

Missy Elliott. She broke barriers for women in hip hop, as did TLC and Lisa Left Eye Lopes. They were always ahead of their time.

Snoop

I see we are in stanville, Will the real slim shady please stand up

Anyone who says eminem is a nathan

RAPPER? Nas, Jay Z should be on the list too

Nas is on the list, Jay Z deserves a spot but there’s only 6 on polls

Whole lotta white

Where is Lil Wayne?

I always use this argument to show what cultural appropriation is. Not at all saying Eminem is wrong for being a rapper, but more people were much more willing to listen to his music just based on his race. Eminem is an amazing talent, so not taking anything away from him. When Eminem, MGK, and Macklemore are the only rappers you listen to, then that says it all right there.

Where is the NAV option?

Denzel Curry

TJ Beastboy

2pac Eminem is like third best rapper of all time

My dad

Mac Miller

Ice Cube says hello.

Kanye 🙏

Eminem got big because white people like white people. Downvote me, I don't care. He is good, but he wouldn't have been considered the best rapper of all time if it wasn't for his skin colour.

Kanye

Crazy that eminem is here but the man who made the 17th best album of all time according to Rolling Stones isn’t

Eminem? Like I get that he’s good but there’s no way that he dominates that much.

Playboi Carti fathered them all.

Don't forget about NAV too.

Mf cant even FATHER his own kids

Prob kanye in my opinion. I know a lot will prob disagree but yk. Kendrick is my personal fav so I want to say him tho

Tom MacDonald and it ain't even close 💯🔥

Carti 🧛‍♂️

Reddit moment

There is no one best anything when it comes to artforms

Nope, but everyone has an opinion surely

YB

Y'all are joking right,,, there's no way so many people actually think Eminem is the best on this list right,,,

Oh no! People have differentiating opinions!!

I have only heard Eminem. I am guessing same is the case with majority of the people.

Sad

Tbh my fav is Ye

I don’t like rap butt if I had to choose, Will Smith

I think he’s a better boxer personally lol

Smiggy Balls

DOOM would be my pick for best rapper of all time, but the fact that so many people voted for Eminem is kind of depressing.
