Eminem

For many, Eminem's performance has deteriorated over years as he "evolved" from scare rap to chorus rap to attempting to sound like current mumble rappers. However, if you listen to his career, particularly his early work and freestyles, it's undeniable that he owns the crown.

Eminem has elevated expertise to new heights. When he isn't concerned with broad popularity, his material is next-level in regards to intricacy, language, and rhyming sentences you would never expect to combine, among other things. His freestyle abilities are virtually boundless, to the point that he seems to be doing otherworldly feats.

He starred as the lead role in the renowned movie 8 Mile, which is centered around rap fights. He has received several awards, including 15 Grammys, eight American Music Awards, plus seventeen Billboard Music Awards. He has ten Billboard 200 chart-topping albums, all of which debuted at the top. To this day, Eminem is the only musician to have accomplished this feat.
