VIBE held a small tournament called “Best Rapper Ever Play-In” featuring a couple of the new artists such as Drake, KiD CuDi, Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth, Wale, B.O.B, Blu and Jay Electronica. While the results are questionable the concept is pretty interesting and they decided to step it up a notch by introducing a new tournament into the argument called “The Best Rapper Alive”. Everyone you can possibly think to throw into this competition is already in it and it’s broken up into 4 different brackets that all make up one huge tournament.
There is the Notorious B.I.G bracket which consists of emcees such as Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco. The Pimp C Bracket with Lil Wayne, T.I., Rick Ross and Jeezy. The Tupac Bracket with Eminem, Nas, 50 Cent and Raekwon. And finally the Big Punisher bracket with Andre 3000, Common, Busta Rhymes, etc.
