It would be presumptuous of VIBE to say that Eminem was inspired to go back in the booth because he received the most votes in VIBE's first ever Best Rapper Alive Tournament. But we're presumptuous:
Eminem gets inspired to go back in the booth after winning VIBE's first ever Best Rapper Alive tournament. Listen up!

brnsilky your just too afraid to admit that em is top 5 rapper all time... i mean come on just listen to his lyrics and stop hatin... you know noone has as much lyrical power as him honestly if you like any of the new shit that comes out your just a little punk ass b**ch who likes choruses and repetitive beats... mainstream is just noise now theres no meaning to it just f**k this nigga i got guns i got money i got b**ches honestly rap in the last couple of years has just become a joke underground and indie have kept it real cuz they need to get recognized for actually rappin.. till they go main then its all the same but dude if you cant admit that your just stuck in the now... granted he has lost his way on the last album or so but i guarantee relapse will blow any album thats out now out of the water... and you can quote me on that!

I grew up listening to eminem in Boston. I am pumped that he is back! It is about time that we got some originals back in the mix. I miss old school rap, snoop / 2Pac when they used to mix....

Brnsilky,
bottomline is you are RACIST and can't stand the fact that a white person is better than a black person in rap. Grow up for real. In your comment you gave nothing to back your argument accept for "listen to my brothers" . Get over it, a white dude can rap and rap is NOT just "your peeps" anymore. Should obama not be elected because there was never a black president? OF course you will say he should because you are a skin deep person and a perfect example of why racism will be around forever. Hate in your heart.

Jury is still out on that one. It depends on who Eminem is going up against. My peeps invented rap and I have heard some rappers that can make u swirl. So Eminem is truly a talented rapper but I have heard my brothers rap just as good as him and I don't feel he is the best rapper of all time or in present time. I believe that we should not look at this as Eminem being one of the best Rappers of all time unless u have all the rappers come out and compete with him. But I will place Eminem as one of the best in a group of other talented rappers but definitly not the best. I listen to rap music and am very musically inclined and know music myself being an artist and I feel that the jury will remain out on this one. I don't agree. So do your homework and listen up 2 some of my brothers out there that are rapping and then u will feel me on this one. There is no best rapper but there are many different styles of rapping so each talent is different and I look for different unique styles. For example Jennifer Hudson vs Beyonce no one is better than the other they both are unique and different and that is what makes me shop their albums because of the difference in the way they display their talents. Thats what radio listens for in playing or airing music by different artist something different and unique that is going to bring u and me to the radio to listen up. Audience and markets that each artist attracts some more than others. Eminem is a cross over so he gets more sales but that doesn't make him the best where another rapper might be just as good but his music never gets that much airplay or might be underground so it never gets a chance to cross over. So if you base it on sales Eminem does have quite a bit of sales but it wasn't because he was the best it was how his product was marketed vs the other artist might have not been able to have his or her music market the same areas and not being able to cross over. So talent vs money sales don't mix. So do your homework when it comes to talent vs sales. It is a numbers game. How much sales come in results in the Bill Board magazine top chart list but doesn't display who sounds the best and is the best. Its all about the dollar bill. Brownsilkysmooth just laying down the facts.

His style on this reminds me of songs like "Rain Man" , "Peep Show", and "Big Weenie". Which are some of his worst songs ever. I really hope his album will be better than this, because Eminem can be really great. I was hoping "No Apologies" was representative of the type of work we could expect in the future. I'm not hatin on Em, compared to "Weenie" he's better here lyrically and using that loopy flow better than he has been in the past. This is still better than a lot of tracks put out by other artists. But it's not as good as songs he was putting out pre-'04. Looking back at his verses on "Renegade" on The Blueprint album, I would have expected him to be untouchable in the game by this time.
