    Criteria:
    • Includes flow, lyrics, delivery, voice, storytelling, technicality, innovation, mic presence, charisma through song.
    • Their discography, consistency, influence and impact are factored in.
    • Their music production and other non-rapping endeavors don't count

    This is probably the least hostile debate I’ve seen on here regarding who the GOAT is. Fair play

    All (okay most) choices are understandable, as it’s down to personal preference

    And it takes intense artistic prowess to do this. He changed music, which is something that encompasses lyricism and rapping. Ye's artistry affects the whole medium Eminem creates art in. Eminem is a better lyricist and rapper, Ye is a better musician. Simply saying Eminem is a better lyricist is a mere contradiction, it doesn't measure their artistry before comparing them, so it's a pointless argument.

    In order to even consider reaching a consensus on any ranking, you need to agree on the criteria first. Can't even discuss a top 3 without agreeing on the criteria for "better", let alone something as ridiculously gargantuan as a top 50 list.

    You're going off impact. Impact and being a good rapper have nothing to do with each other.
