==Best Rapper Alive Tournament== |
|||
''Vibe'' magazine launched the "Best Rapper Alive Tournament" on July 21, 2008. There were four brackets, and four number 1 seeds: [[Jay Z]], [[Lil Wayne]], [[Eminem]], and [[Andre 3000]]. The actual final four included [[Ludacris]], [[The Game (rapper)|The Game]], Eminem, and Jay Z. The last two rappers standing were Eminem and Jay Z, with Eminem eventually garnering 69% of the votes for the victory.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1596451/eminem-is-the-best-rapper-alive-according-to-vibe-poll/ |title=Eminem Is The Best Rapper Alive, According To Vibe Poll |last=Reid |first=Shaheem |date=October 7, 2008 |website=[[MTV News]] |access-date=January 31, 2017}}</ref> When Em heard the news, he stated: "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!" |
