He's neck and neck with Tupak Shakur for alltime best. Too bad Tupac and Eminem weren't able to get together and do something.

i believe you..im just pokin fun at it..thats all.
I figured that. he's an absolute genius with words.
Eminem is more lyrical, but Tupac is the King of rap. Best seller of all time at 36.5 Million Albums Sold, and said whatever he pleased on most of his songs, from gov issues, to religion, preaching unity amongst all races, song praising women, his mom. etc. of course he had a lot of gangster rap and whole bunch of negative songs also but the guy was just a workaholic and a genious . Tupac is the elvis of rap, only way eminem gets close to pac is if he gets murdered like pac, and that is not happening any time soon.
He went at nas hard on that one. lyrical machine.
This one gives me goosebumps, he knew his life was in danger and just pours his soul into the song.

sorry, bro but you don't have your facts straight, read below..
Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972),[1] better known by his stage name Eminem, is an American rapper, record producer, and actor. Eminem quickly gained popularity in 1999 with his major-label debut album, The Slim Shady LP, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. The following album, The Marshall Mathers LP, became the fastest-selling solo album in United States history.[2] It brought Eminem increased popularity, including his own record label, Shady Records, and brought his group project, D12, to mainstream recognition.
The Marshall Mathers LP and his third major album, The Eminem Show, also won Grammy Awards, making Eminem the first artist to win Best Rap Album for three consecutive LPs. He then won the award again in 2010 for his album Relapse and in 2011 for his album Recovery, giving him a total of 13 Grammys in his career. In 2003, he won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Lose Yourself" from the film, 8 Mile, in which he also played the lead. "Lose Yourself" would go on to become the longest running No. 1 hip hop single.[3] Eminem then went on hiatus after touring in 2005. He released his first album since 2004's Encore, titled Relapse, on May 15, 2009. Eminem is the best-selling artist of the decade on the US Nielsen SoundScan,[4] and has sold more than 86.5 million albums worldwide to date, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world.[5] In 2010, Eminem released his seventh studio album Recovery. It became Eminem's sixth consecutive number-one album in the US and achieved international commercial success, charting at number one in several other countries. It stayed at number-one on the US Billboard 200 chart for five consecutive weeks and a total of seven weeks.[6][7] Recovery was also reported by Billboard to be the best-selling album of 2010, making Eminem the first artist in Nielsen SoundScan history to have two year-end best-selling albums.[8] Recovery is also the best selling digital album in history.[9] Recovery was also named the best selling album worldwide of 2010 joining The Eminem Show which was the best seller of 2002 giving him 2 worldwide year end number 1 albums.[10][11]
In 2005, Eminem was ranked 79th on the VH1 100 Greatest Artists of All-Time.[12] He was also ranked 82nd on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[13] He was also named the Best Rapper Alive by Vibe magazine in 2008.[14] Including his work with D12, Eminem has achieved nine No. 1 albums on the Billboard Top 200, 7 solo (6 studio albums, 1 compilation) and 2 with D12.[15] Eminem has had 13 number one singles worldwide. In December 2009, Eminem was named the Artist of the Decade by Billboard magazine.[16] His albums The Eminem Show, The Marshall Mathers LP, and Encore (in order) ranked as the 3rd,[17] 7th,[17] and 40th[18] best-selling albums of the 2000???2009 decade by Billboard magazine. Also according to Billboard, Eminem has two of his albums among the top five highest selling albums of the 2000s. In the UK, Eminem has sold over 12.5 million records.[19] Eminem has also sold more than 33 million track downloads and 39.6 million albums in the United States alone.[20] In 2010, MTV ranked Eminem as the 7th biggest icon in pop music history.[21] During 2010, Eminem's music generated 94 million streams, more than any other music artist.[20] "Love the Way You Lie", the second single from 2010's Recovery was the best-selling single of 2010 in the United Kingdom even though it did not reach number 1 there, the first time this has happened in the UK since 1969. [22] Eminem has scored over 1 billion views on his official Vevo page on YouTube.[23]
I was forced into listening to rap due to our son, I am a rocker chick
. Of all the shit I have been forced to listen to over the years, Eninem just seems to be getting better and better. He seems to stay true to who he is and what he represents 
I think I would like him a lot more if prince played him a lot less

It's all good my friend.
I think a round of negs is in order for chico.
His pro tupac, anti-white agenda has been clear for some time now!

very interesting when Dr. Dre is the one that discovered and signed Eminem and even black rappers admit that Eminem is one of the best, if not THE best.
He still smokes weed.
Dr. Dre, yeah there's a real epic reference. Ha Ha Ha.
And I'm sure black rappers who are bias or won't amount to much do feel that way.
Eninem is good, but no where near being THE best.
I did further research and you are correct, tupac is at 75-80 million worldwide albums sold taking the #2 spot. Has been dead for 15 years, and out of the rotation of most radio stations but yet his albums continue to sell. Eminem is truly talented and great lyrically but can't touch the Michael Jordan of rap. IMO of course.
