News 07/15/08 - Vibe Hosting Best Rapper Alive Tournament

13ubba · 07-15-2008, 03:30 AM

Lil Wayne has declared it for the last two years, and if you ask his fans and many groupies they'll agree, but the man which he idolizes also has dibs on the title even though some say that Nas is clearly the superior emcee. So after all of the heated debates, Vibe magazine has decided to do something about the on going argument for the title of best rapper alive.

This tournament will poll 64 of the industries "best" rappers/emcees from past and present to see who comes out as the top dog. Some of the artist that will be featured in this tournament pool will be, Jay-Z. Nas, Lil Wayne, Joe Budden, Bow Wow, Trina, Lil Boosie, Soldier Boy,Bun B, Ludacris, and many more.

"The first round of voting begins July 21. Each round lasts one week followed by our version of The Final Four." To make the process even more interactive, fans have the opportunity to print out the tournament pool and fill it out with their predictions of who will come out as the winner of best rapper alive.

The tournament will officially begin in six day's with the voting process lasting a week at a time per round.

My Nigga 50 is Number #3 & lloyd Banks #8 & Young Buck #9 thats a good match up Banks Vs Buck

do u know what would be badass, for them all to have a freestyle faceoff or something in that position, voting isnt going to get much attention

srmafia · 07-15-2008, 03:52 AM

This whole bracket is fucked. You can't put Fabolous Vs. Cassidy in the first round, just like you can't put Joe Budden Vs. Nas in the first round. All four of these rappers belong in the quarter finals at least. You can't just throw them in like that... They obviously put no thought into placement.

heelz211 · 07-15-2008, 03:56 AM

this might be the dumbest and most pointless thing ive ever seen, lil wayne is going to win because of all his dickriders, and how can joe budden be a 15 seed and how can lil mama even be on the list?
