Eminem has earned yet another accolade. Rolling Stone has bestowed the rap titan with its current King of Hip-Hop title based on his album sales, YouTube views, and social-media scores.
Not far behind Marshall Mathers is Lil Wayne, who claims second place based on his album and ticket sales, online rankings, and awards, while his Young Money cohort Drake comes in third.
The list is not a ranking of all-time greatest MCs. Instead, the magazine selected 20 solo rappers who have dropped an album from 2009 through the first seven months of 2011. The positions were determined by album sales, rankings on the R&B/hip-hop and rap charts, YouTube views, social media, concert grosses, industry awards, and critics’ ratings.
Contenders included Big Boi, B.o.B, Diddy, Drake, Eminem, Fabolous, Lupe Fiasco, Gucci Mane, Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, T.I., Waka Flocka Flame, Kanye West, and Wiz Khalifa.
Despite the “king” title, Nicki Minaj is the sole female on the list, beating out some of her male peers for the No. 6 spot. See the full list below.

Tyler, The Creator takes more shots at Bruno Mars
Tyler, the Creator has trouble on his mind once again. The Odd Future ringleader is firing off another round of insults directed at Bruno Mars.
Tyler spews more venom at the “Grenade” singer, as well as Chris Brown, Tyler Perry, and Game himself on “Martians vs. Goblins,” a cut off the latter’s R.E.D. Album. “Bruno Mars is still sucking d**k and fu**ing male butts in the same closet that Tyler Perry gets clothes from,” blasts the OFWGKTA member.
While it’s unknown what triggered his hate for Mars, it was Tyler who threw the first punch on his single “Yonkers,” threatening to “stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn esophagus/ And won’t stop until the cops come in.”
Both artists will compete for Video of the Year at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards and are scheduled to attend. Tyler has already made it clear that he doesn’t want to lose to his rival. “IF I FUCKING LOSE TO FUCKING BRUNO FUCKING MARS IM GOING ON A KILLING SPREE. DEADASS,” he wrote.
