The King Of Hip Hop has been crowned by Rolling Stone magazine – and this is your chance to find out who came top.

Taking into account the period from 2009 to the first seven months of 2011, the survey looked at rapper's who had released albums during that time frame.

The magazine then analysed everything from album sales to YouTube views and Social Media ranking, before coming up with 20 names.

Check out the magazine's top-20 – which features the likes of Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Drake, Kanye West and Jay-Z – below and find out who is number one.
