Like anyone who would bring up Kobe or LeBron in a discussion dominated by MJ, Eminem is a great rapper who started after the greatest were already established. Rakim, Chuck D, and KRS-ONE all beat Eminem. Kendrick is absolutely the best of the 2000s in many ways but Black Thought is an amazing freestyler, so has to be up there.

How about we all recognize both greatness and the fact that basketball can have the GOAT but rapping can’t?
