1. Eminem
If you can give me one reason why Eminem should not be on top of this list, then I'll give you ten more why he should be. Eminem is the most influential rapper of all time. Even in his early years, Slim Shady was prone to controversy and was fearless in striking back. Inciting beef with anyone who dared cross him, Eminem is relentless and ruthless. His songs can range from fun, party songs to inspiring masterpieces but it's hard to find a style that Em does not excel in. He is the highest selling artist of the 2000's with over 100 million albums sold worldwide. Add the 13 Grammys to Eminem's accolades and you have a strong case for the greatest artist of all time. Period.
