Vibe - Best Rapper Ever Contest?

So this came across my face today, and after I went through the typical reaction one might have to seeing their parents get in a car crash. 1) Shock/Suprised 2) Scared 3) Disbelief 4) Don't Care (once realizing they are alive or VIBE means nothing)


Bottom Line ---- Wale, b.o.b, Drake and blu are super duper...!!!

1) b.o.b is more of an artist then an Rapper, and would probably be upset if someone even called him a Rapper. Dude doesn't even like Rap... so he is out.

2) Blu is more of an MC... not really a rapper. I know its hard to distinguish between the two, but I can!...shit I can do most anything I put my mind to... so he is out. He is a terrible performer, but when you see him live you can tell he is an amazing MC...fact.

WALE or DRAKE...I go Wale! Congrats Wale

(Asher Roth is manufactured (though talented)!...I know a bunch of people that could do the same thing if scooter wanted to help them out)

(Kid Cudi isn't a very good "Rapper")

Who really wants to be a "Rapper" now-a-day anyway.

here is the Vibe Article...
"According to votes cast over the past two days at VIBE.com, Wale, Asher Roth, Drake, and Kid Cudi have all advanced to the second round of the Play-In bracket, setting up Wale v. Asher as well as the blockbuster Drake v. Kid Cudi match up. The Play-In bracket will determine which of these four rappers will represent the hip hop’s next generation in the full Best Rapper Ever competition, which kicks off next Monday, May 18. The winner of the Play-In bracket will receive the 128th seed overall and immediately face Eminem, who secured the number one overall seed when he was named the Best Rapper Alive by voters at VIBE.com last year.

Of the four next generation rappers still standing, Wale received the most votes (536), eliminating Jay Electronica by nearly a four to one margin. Asher Roth received the fewest votes of any of the round one survivors, beating out Bobby Ray (formerly B.o.B.), 442 votes to Ray’s 222. Drake took down California’s Blu (519 votes to Blu’s 147), and Kid Cudi took out Charles Hamilton with 488 votes to Hamilton’s 117.

Voting for the second round of the Play-In bracket begins now, and will remain open until Friday, May 15, at 9 a.m. EST. Vote daily to show your support for your favorite rapper, and check back often for more updates on VIBE Presents The Best Rapper Ever."
