Who do you think is a better rapper, Eminem or Nas?
In my opinion they pretty much the two greatest rappers alive. I prefer Eminem but who do you think is better? And explain why.
Update:Wow. I can't believe some people don't know who Nas is. He is like a legend!

Both rappers are legends & both are way better then today's music..
Ima say it's a tie, but both do deserve respect.
That's tough because they have different styles. I feel Eminem more than I do Nas, but Nas is a better lyricist.
Eminem
eminem because reason #1:If you listen to a great Eminem song like "Lose Yourself", if you pay attention, you'll notice how he puts the emphasis on the upbeat, or how he changes rhythm and volume when the snare strikes. His rhymes always stick out at the end of the beat, and that is pretty much the reason why he is such a genius. Reason #2: He can tell his life story in like 3 minutes. reason #3 :Eminem is capable of writing some very deep and lyrically complicated songs.
Reason #4: no other white boy can rap like he does. And finnally Reason #5: He doesn't rap about money,girls,cars, or sex he raps about life.
Nas is pretty good to though. that is just a detailed description of what I think.
Nas
Nas' entire discography > Eminem's entire discography
Eminem has only really put out 4 good albums: Infinite, The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show. Whereas Nas has put out 9 great albums: Illmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic, The Lost Tapes, God's Son, Street's Disciple, Hip Hop Is Dead, and Distant Relatives with Damian Marley
Eminem
How can you compare Eminem to Nas? Nas is the best rapper of all time. Eminem's last four albums are garbage, he's inconsistant and he sucks now. Nas is a genuis, Eminem isn't.
it really depends on what you like,
better is an opinion people will always disagree
all the stans got me leaning more towards nas though
Nas, but Eminem has more mainstream music. Nas will destroy anybody lyrically, he embarrassed Jayz. And Jayz is known for makng other rappers look stupid, but he met his match when it came to Nas.
Nas, no competition.
