I read this HERE this morning and i'm SUPER pumped...
"According to Vibe and its readers, Eminem is the Greatest Rapper Alive.
Though the once tremendously outspoken rapper has been keeping to himself as of late, Eminem beat out all of today's hot acts from Kanye West to Rick Ross.
More than 920,000 votes were cast and rappers were eliminated tournament style, streamlining a large bracket, until it was down to Eminem and Jay-Z. Em came out the winner, with 69% of the votes.
Of the honor, Eminem diplomatically said in a statement:
"It's obviously an honor to have won the fans' support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive. I don't think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best, though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do. But since Vibe's offering the distinction, hell yeah, I'll accept!"
It's strange that something out of his mouth makes us feel sort of…warm and fuzzy inside.
Rumor has it that Em's been working quietly at home on new material with 50 Cent and Dr. Dre.
Now that he's the Best Rapper Alive he's gotta back it up!"
