Hey there folks, sorry I did not get this up yesterday, I was a bit busy. Anyways 50 cent scored, about 27 cents of the dollar. Sad for a man who made millions.

So that places him at the bottom of the list.

1) Tupac -85
2) Guns N' Roses - 83
3) Metallica - 75
4) Staind - 31
5) 50 Cent - 27
6)

Up today we have

Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_17), 1972 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972)), better known by his stage names (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_name) Eminem and Slim Shady, is an Oscar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Awards) and multiple Grammy Award (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award) winning rapper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapper), record producer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_producer), and actor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor) from Detroit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit%2C_Michigan), Michigan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan). Having sold over seventy million albums (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_album) worldwide, Eminem is one of the highest-selling musicians of the early 2000s thus, making him one of the highest-selling rap artists of all time.<sup id="_ref-AOW_1" class="reference"></sup> Eminem was discovered by rapper and producer Dr. Dre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Dre). Dr. Dre later signed Eminem to his record label, Aftermath Entertainment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftermath_Entertainment).
Nobel Laureate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Laureate) Seamus Heaney (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seamus_Heaney) has praised Mathers for his "verbal energy" and for arousing popular interest in poetry and lyrics. Eminem is infamous for the controversy surrounding many of his lyrics. With the success of his highly acclaimed album, The Marshall Mathers LP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marshall_Mathers_LP) and its subsequent nomination for four Grammy awards including Album of the Year,<sup id="_ref-CNN_0" class="reference"></sup> critics such as GLAAD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_%26_Lesbian_Alliance_Against_Defamation) denounced his lyrics as homophobic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobia) and misogynist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogyny), while others claimed that it promoted violence. In 2002, he starred in the semi-autobiographical movie 8 Mile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_Mile_%28film%29).

As much as I despise rap, I respect this guy, he made some good music, Lose Yourself remains a top favorite of mine, I will rate him 9.0

I love his wordplay, especially on his first two LPs. He starts to lose it a bit after that, but still has an amazing flow. Eminem also gets points for not rapping about big screen TVs, bitches, and blunts, but instead about homosexuals and Vicodin.

7/10, I'd actually rank him higher, but his last couple of records are pretty shitty. The angsty apologetic stuff seemed to interfere with his wordplay.

And anyway, as Kripsy Kreme said...

God, picks some good music for fuck sake..

Going to go with a 6.5 on this one. I liked his early stuff but he reignited the wigger rap among high schools. And I hate that

I love it.

Wiggers walking around dressed like Eminem and saying "faggot" every fourth word is hilarious.

Staind is not horrible, and Metallica is better then Guns N Faggots, so this shit is null and void.

Oh yeah, 0 for that wigger pussy bitch Eminem.

Your opinion is officially invalid.

There are, evidently, people who actually think Staind are good.

That alone is probably a good argument for Eugenics.
