VIBE's Best Rapper Ever Round 1 Over!



"So Joe Budden was right. After taking to the Web via video to raise issue with the construction of the brackets in VIBE Presents The Best Rapper Ever tournament a few weeks ago (and kicking up a mini-beef with Method Man in the process), the New Jersey MC did indeed go down in the first round, losing out to Rakim in Bracket IV, Round One. When the first week’s voting came to an end on Sunday night, the God MC was left standing with 81 percent of the vote to Budden’s 19 percent, but Budden should take solace—of the four No. 32 seeds going in (all of whom faced off against No. 1 seeds in the first round), he put up the best fight. Kid Cudi also fared respectably, clocking 11 percent of the vote to Eminem’s 89 percent. Not bad considering Cudi has yet to release an album, and he only made the competition by winning the play-in. Meanwhile, 2Pac mopped the floor with Plies at 97 percent to 3 percent, and the Notorious B.I.G. put in the strongest showing of the No. 1s, embarrassing Chubb Rock at 98 percent to 2 percent." Round 1 Recap
Too bad Budden! Everyone was right on that one!
