Best Rapper Alive: Eminem!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:07:00 GMT

Who is the best rapper alive? Slim Shady himself - Eminem! He beat out over 50 of the top rappers, even popular stars like Lil' Wayne and Jay-Z....

VIBE online conducted a poll, which started on July 21, to find out who fans of rap thought was the best rapper alive and 920,000 votes later, they have their answer.

In a landslide decision - despite the rapper not having an album release since 2004, Eminem took 69% of the votes, beating out Jay-Z, who had 31%.

Eminem said, "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!"

Congrats!

Is Eminem Dead?

Has rapper Eminem died in a car crash or is this another sick rumor started by someone online? And if it's a rumor, why do people start a story like that?

Apparently blogs are a blaze with reports of the singer dying in a car crash Sunday night. However, there are no credible news sources that are confirming such a story.

This isn't the first time that Slim Shady was reported dead - the same sort of story appeared back in 2000. The website Urban Legends had issued a statement, reading:

“We read on the Internet on Sunday, December 17 that Slim Shady, a.k.a. Eminem, died in a car crash at 2:30 in the morning. According to this article he was on his way to a late-night party and was drunk and high on drugs.”

According to this site, he's very much alive. Hopefully his family didn't hear of such rumors online!

Eminem Not Dead!

Eminem has laid low for the last couple of years and had people speculating on what he was doing. There were reports that he wasn't well, and had gained a considerable amount of weight but his good friend 50 Cent defended him, saying he was "doing okay." But although his health might not be a concern, he's got legal woes now. The hip-hopper beat up some dude two years ago in a strip club and now he's getting his butt sued off....sorta....

The guy suing Eminem is only seeking damages in the amount of $25,000, which for Em is probably peanuts. From The Huffington Post:

"A man has sued Eminem, claiming the rapper punched him two years ago while they were in the bathroom of a Detroit strip club.

The Detroit News reports Miad Jarbou of Royal Oak filed the lawsuit Thursday in Oakland County Circuit Court seeking more than $25,000 in damages. The suit claims Eminem punched him July 13, 2006, at Cheetah’s On the Strip Gentlemen’s Club.

Eminem spokesman Dennis Dennehy declined to comment Friday on the lawsuit.

Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, wasn’t charged following reports of an incident at the club in 2006.

The strip club is located on Eight Mile Road, the border between Detroit and the northern suburbs made famous by Eminem’s hit 2002 film “8 Mile.”

Apparently the dude, Jarbou approached Eminem while he was taking a leak at the urinal, and continued to bother him, being obnoxious. Um, I'd punch him too. Seriously, let the guy finish before asking for an autograph! Admittedly violence doesn't solve anything (hopefully he explained this to daughter Hailie), but if you're pestering someone while they're using the bathroom, then you kinda, sorta, deserve a smack.
