Most Technical American Rappers
Hey guys, who do you think is the best MC, by the technical aspects of rapping? I mean, who has the greatest combination of rhythmic skill, rhyming ability and wordplaying?
Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor and music producer born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Eminem has sold over 300 million records making him the bestselling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he is a member of D12 and (with Royce da 5'9") half of the hip-hop duo Bad Meets Evil.
Rolling Stone ranked him 83rd on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip Hop. Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has had ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 5 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and 13 worldwide. Men, have you ever listened to Eminem? He can rhyme practically everywhere in his songs, he can make internal rhymes, multisyllable rhymes, and free rhymes so easily! When you listen to Lose Yourself or Till I Collapse, you understand that all those rhymes can't be there by chance, that's the work of a genius... Not to mention his ability in world plays (just listen to Vegas or So Far) and his AWESOME flows that changed so many times in the year and makes him a Rap God (damn, this song has more different flows than all drake's songs together)! Vote for Slim Shady guys!

His flows in his All 6's And 7's alone can top Eminem's flow, well, in all of his songs
Not to mention his rhyming is arguably the most dynamic in hip-hop, who the hell can rhyme up to 10 syllables and above, while still making sense?!, only Tech man, only Tech
He has many awesome flows and I like how he sometimes uses guitar in some of his songs like "I Am Everything".
Are you kidding me? How is he so low ranked?
I really don't know how Tech can be so low on this list.. hear Strangulation 1, E.B.A.H, Low, MMM...
