Tierra Whack has let it be known who she thinks ultimately sits on the throne in Hip Hop, giving the title to Eminem.
The G.O.A.T. debate is a subjective one that’s been going on for decades, but the Philly native felt it was necessary to remind her followers over the weekend that Slim Shady still holds the title belt as the best to ever do it.
On Sunday (January 15), she tweeted: “Eminem still the best rapper ever whether you can relate to him or not.”
Check out Tierra Whack’s tweet below:
Whack felt the vitriol of many followers who clapped back with their own picks for the best rapper ever while others flocked to the Detroit legend’s defense.
“Nicki Minaj is the greatest rapper , you know that furthermore you rap way better than Eminem,” one fan replied while another opted to use 2Pac as their selection for the G.O.A.T.
Tierra Whack then followed up by referring to Eminem as “light skin,” which further angered her followers as they brought up how Martin Luther King Jr. Day was only hours away at that point.
A fan replied: “Now this is where we gotta put a halt to the shenanigans!”
While the G.O.A.T. debate will continue to rage on, Eminem is still breaking records over two decades into his decorated career. Em and Nate Dogg’s “Till I Collapse” anthem earned Spotify’s most-streamed non-single ever last month, surpassing 1.5 billion streams.
The track lives on Em’s 2002 album The Eminem Show, which also features the hits “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” “Without Me” and “Sing For the Moment.” “Till I Collapse” was never given an official music video or worked on radio.
In 2012 – a decade after its release and one year after Nate Dogg’s passing – the song was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA). And just before the song’s official 20th birthday earlier this year, it was certified a whopping 8x platinum.
Meanwhile, it recently came to light that Eminem turned down an $8million payday to perform at last year’s World Cup.
During an interview on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, 50 Cent explained how his performance at last year’s award-winning Super Bowl Halftime Show with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige led to him and Em being offered a lot of money to perform at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
“Because of the Super Bowl, I got an inquiry about the World Cup,” 50 Cent told Big Boy. “They had a budget of $9million for it. So they was gonna give — I would have took one, Big. Then the other eight would have been for Em.”
Once the offer came in, 50 called Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg to discuss it but was ultimately turned down — although it’s not completely clear whether news of the offer made its way to Em directly. “I called and spoke to Paul and everybody around him,” Fif explained. “They was like, ‘He’s not gonna do it.’”
Em & Nas are the Goats Alive
So she’s admitting she doesn’t relate to his music, just like most people. Ye he’s an amazing rapper, but not the goat.
He got there just in time. If he’d come out in 2007 instead of 1999, he’s Post Malone.
Say what ya want, When we are talking pure uncut rap, all round skills, Eminem stands out above the rest,the best rapper ever, Period.
I agree, Eminem does sound like the best rapper ever while on his period.

He’s good but everyone knows Rakim is the GOAT. Case closed!
I have a feeling they did a song together thats about to come out.
Of course. And she’ll kill it and then grandpa will burst into the song rapping Preparation H with Battlestation Rape.
he’s nowhere near the greatest of all time. his discography has been mostly trash since encore, and he’s recent style of rhyming has been done by others better than him. (tech n9ne and twista do the speed rap better than him). Nas and Jay’s raps are aging like fine wine, em is a carton of milk.

The fact that someone listed Encore – the equivalent of Vanilla Ice’s Vomit – as a GOOD album…
Show everyone just how bad he was.
My question is this: Who’s the guy who beat him in the rap Olympics who never got a record deal because he wasn’t white? Why’d Eminem not go back and sign him? Oh that’s right, black doesn’t sell.
Eminem was the last MTV pop star on the planet making rap during a time when Ja Rule could go triple platinum. Even his old music gets moans and groans when played today. And despite supposedly getting billions of views on Spotify and YouTube, he can’t sell 2 million records anymore. Cause people don’t need to watch MTV anymore to get music.
Hes nowhere near the greatest of all time. His discography has been 90% trash since The eminem show and his recent speed style of rapping jay-z was doing that in 95 lol. Tech n9ne and twist do it better. Mcs like Nas and Jay’s music are aging like wine. Eminem’s is a carton of milk
Em may not be 1 for every1, but at least top 5. Jay-Z’s music however ages like shit. He may be a good businessman, but as rapper he isn’t top 20.
That’s your opinion and you are entitled to it. The facts based evidence says you are wrong but music is preference. Like who you like but when all the names you mentioned call Em the GOAT I guess they are liers?
Em’s been dominating the charts for a quarter century 💪
Nah, Dre has been dominating them for 37 years. Which is why Eminem has been dominating the charts for a quarter-of-a-century but has the net worth of someone who’s only dominated them for 10 years. Who you think gave him all his new work? White sells.
So why hasnt any other white rapper come anywhere near Em’s sales? The only white rappers who have significant album sales is Em, the Beastie Boys and 1 single from Vanilla Ice. Sorry, ur race card has been denied. Try again
Ignorant response …… if you look into Eminem he’s actually responsible for producing most of his own music …. But going under the wing of Dr.Dre is as good as it can get. The bottom line is that everytime Eminem raps on a song with somebody he cut throats and outperforms them ….. stop making excuses for color ….. the boy is as good as it gets.
Who???
The GOAT convo is old and tired. It’s all subjective. I recognize Em as one of the best ever, but it’s hard to put him above guys like Nas. Hell, Em isn’t even my favorite white rapper (Aesop Rock is far more lyrical). To me, you can’t be “The Greatest” if you have any shitty albums, which Em has a few, and a lot of his hits don’t’ hold up decades later.
How many shitty albums does nas have? I’m really curious. Enlighten me
No love for smmmrrrkk. Y’all just goofy …I popped a perk and drunk a gallon man it hurt my stomach
RAP GOD
Rap Goober
Who?
Eminem is good , why do he has to be the best
