Who's better on the mic? I believe that Eminem is better when it comes to rhythmic schemes and all the technicalities. Lupe, however, is better when it comes to metaphors, meanings, and everything from the poetic standpoint. They each both have an equal taste in storytelling, though.

eminem his rhyme patterns are ridiculous especially in his prime
and he was clever too with metaphors and wordplay and punchlines
eminem was better to me

Em. I thought his shyt just flowed better. Lupe is dope, but he uses a lot of enjambment. meaning that he breaks off words in one line to complete the word and message in the next. Em's shyt was just more seamless to me.

lyrically i'd have to go with lupe based off of subject matter
You can't be serious.
Eminem has the edge strictly when it comes to rhyme schemes, and it's not like Lupe is a slouch in that department either.
Straight lyrically Lupe is untouchable. Dude has composed some of the most genuinely ingenius double meanings, metaphors, storylines, concepts I've ever heard. Dude is on his own level when he's on his game.

Em's flow and rhyme structure were better, but in terms of subject matter, concepts, story telling, wordplay, and damn near any other fathomable category, Lupe >>>>>>

it took me two years to figure out all of failure...shyt was immaculate
if we talking concepts and story lupe on another level
if we talking straight flow you already know. and if we talkin straight up rhyme skills you better already know.
eminem style is more aggresive and his some of his older shyt sounds like battle rap type flow like him trying to rip an mc into pieces. but he just got a whole different style and approach then lupe you cant really compare these two
thats what people don't realize bout em tho. he was shreddin nikkas badly in battles thats how he got that aggressive violent style.
