Not really "carrying" them, though. They've plenty of players performing really well - Drinkwater, Kante and obviously Mahrez. Plus he hit a small bit of bad form for a while there.

Oh we're doing rap-offtopics now? Fine.
To be honest, I always thought that those people who say Eminem or Tupac are the best rappers of all time, are people who have a limited interest into the rap-genre as a whole and listen to songs like "I love the way you lie" and also know Tupac mainly from their bigger brothers. That being said, Tupac is still a more viable choice for the GOAT than Eminem is. But there are a ton of others who are/were far better than Eminem, they just don't get that attention since they never assimilated to the mainstream. Just look at the 90s: Rakim, Kool G Rap, BDK, Nas, AZ, Big L, 2Pac, Biggie, Wu-Tang Clan, Guru etc I could probably continue with 30 other names but I don't feel it's necessary. Since encore, he's had the odd good song, but the rest is just "Til I Collapse" re-written in different rhyme schemes and put back over a new beat.
If he wasn't white, he would be considered good, and possibly very good, but not even near NaS and co.'s stratosphere.

I don't know much about Rap at all (close to nothing in fact), but you say that Eminem has only had the odd good song since encore. What about all those rappers that you listed, are they still pumping out good songs every year? Did they pump out good songs for more than a decade?
