I wouldn't put Snoop in the same league with Jay-Z, Nas and Eminem. Those three are certainly the best working rappers today. At least those with wide-spread exposure. For me, its really a toss-up between Jay-Z and Nas. I went with Jay-Z, mostly for 99 Problems. Nas hasn't done anything recently that's caught my attention quite like that record.

I absolutely agree, all three of them are degrees better than Snoop in every category.** I would have loved to see Lupe Fiasco and Andre 3000's names on the poll, but for the most part I would have to put it between Eminem and Jay-Z, simply because of how consistant they both are with their quality. I personally think that Eminem is capable of more as far as flow and lyrics, but Jay-Z is more versatile as far as content, and is also unparallelled in the lyrical category.

**To be fair, I saw Snoop perform live with 311 and The Wailers, and he put on a fantastic show. I would definately recommend going out and seeing him if you have the opportunity.

I'm not sure who I think is the best, but I know it's none of the choices listed so I went with other. If I had to pick one on that list, I might say Eminem, but I haven't been feeling his raps lately. I've never really like Jay Z or Snoop. Nas was all right, but I never really got into him either (although he is better than Jay Z or Snoop).

For me its none of the above its either Lupe Fiasco or Joe Budden in my opinion they make the best music for all situations in life and have some of the best lines ever written.
