I'd have to say Eminem. Not because he's white, but because he's actually a very good rapper, and a lot of his lyrics have a lot of meaning behind them.
There quite a few young rappers that have come out lately that have shown a lot of talent.
Lil Wayne is a talented rapper, though he prefers to make commercial garbage tracks to sell records.
Kayne West. Even though earth isn't big enough to contain his ego, the guy has incredible music talent.
Lupe Fiasco is a young kid that blew me away with some of his underground tracks. If he keeps on being unique and doesn't fold to commercialism, he could be the next great one.
Now greatest rapper alive? Man that's hard. I'll give you a top 5 in no particular order.There are other great rappers such as Eminem, Noreaga, Rakim, Guru, Talib Kweli, Common, The Game, Q Tip, Mos Def, and many many others.

I've changed my mind since then. The best rapper is the Hiphopopotamus.
