Something like that....

for pure lyricism, in no order

illogic - no one mentions him, but dude is one of the smartest to ever touch a mic
nas
sage francis
kool g rap
gza
aesop rock
sole - his structure is insane, the guy can flow for 400 bars without rhyming one word, yet you don't notice
mf doom
qwel - has some of the illest rhymes i've ever heard, but is mad slept on
vakill

Lyricism isn't worth much if your flow isn't any good. (ie Aesop, Sage Francis)

Lyricism isn't worth much if your flow isn't any good. (ie Aesop, Sage Francis)

Aesop has got a good flow,can't say the same for sage though.


Post your top 10 plug.

illogic - no one mentions him, but dude is one of the smartest to ever touch a mic
His Delivery is one of the best that I've heard. You got Celestial Clockworks?

Lyricism isn't worth much if your flow isn't any good. (ie Aesop, Sage Francis)

au contraire, I find lyricism can be really amazing even if the flow sucks. I would like Aesop Rock just as much is all his mucis was acapella, I think the lyrics are the most important part

No order....

Big L (how has nobody mentioned him?)
Afu-Ra
Inspektah Deck (again, why no mention)
Early Eminem
Vast Aire of Cannibal Ox (something about his lyrics that i love)

Vinnie paz isnt that good of a lyricist,his rhyme scheme is always the same.

He was good on psycho social and VBD.

I still like him though.

The two things are more or less equal in importance but you can't have the one without the other. They both need to be on point.

Nas
Mos Def
Q-Tip *
Posdnuos *
GZA
Common
Kweli
Doom
Black Thought
Rakim

It goes something like that but the order is different. I feel stupid when I make these lists though cause honestly, what noteworthy music have ATCQ or De La Soul made lately? Still nice with the lyrics regardless but it just seems irrelevant to list them.

In no order
Big L
Vinnie Paz (how has noone mentioned???!?!)
Canibus
Jehst
Lee Scott
Nas
MF DOOM

Glad you mentioned Jehst, he is easily the most lyrical UK mc, one of the best worldwide IMO

shake your head all you want but its true,Im probably a bigger JMT fan than you so I have the right to say it.

Something like this, in no order apart from Rakim Cos he is the G.OA.T:


1 - Rakim
Of course, youd expect the God Rakim to be at the top being the greatest lyricist of all time. Besides having that, he is also the first PURE lyricist to ever come out. Fueling on pure multi-syllable and perfectly conjucted words, this man CAN NOT be touched whatsoever. The king of braggadiocio, which will make you look utterly retarded on the mic, and make himself like royalty, definetely deserves to be #1 and no doubt inspired pretty much everybody on this list (apart from G Rap). This is one of the few artists where virtually no line he has ever spat has been filler or wasted and each line is carefully crafted together seemlessly. His delivery and lyricism leaves me in "awe" each time he spits, and he's continued to get better and better as the years go by. His confidence is unmatched, and he has a right to be.

Nas
Kool G Rap
Canibus
Big Daddy Kane
Chuck D
Pharoahe Monch
Ras Kass (A controversial choice but Ras Kass's amazing metaphors are beyond that of any other artist)
Gza
KRS One (the Teacher, the Legend)




Notable people i left out and the reasons:

Big Pun (Died too early to be considered on the above list. If he were still maing music today he would be one of the greatest no doubt)


Jay-Z (Has fallen off from his Reasonable Doubt days, though he still has his moments of amazing lyricism. He probably would be around 11 or 12 with Common. But hes overrated extremely)



Common (He would be probably 11 or 12, but hes more of a poet)

Guru (A bit too monotone at times)

Vinnie Paz (See Above also Needs more material... not too known)

2pac (Never went too complicated, but when he did, it was good)

Notorious B.I.G. (Usually suffered from poor subject matter)

Ice Cube (Fell of Drastically, but had his moments)

Outkast (both members) (Probably 13 or 14, yet there are two)

Jadakiss (Poor Subject Matter, and is beginning to decline)

Q-Tip (Drastically Fell off... not to complicated)

what about andre 3000
might be number 1

chuck d- big time underrated

Lyricistsssssss:

Big Daddy Kane
Canibus
Chino XL
Pharoah Monche
Vakill - I've only heard about 20 tracks from this cat but he just impressed the FUCK outta me.
The Genius
Rass Kass
Talib Kweli

Shit forgot to mention Talib kweli. Nice subject matter (i.e not all about guns drugs) and is a very productive cat what with all those mixtapes and all.

Lyricism isn't worth much if your flow isn't any good. (ie Aesop, Sage Francis)

I don't know much of Sage to comment, but Aesop's flow is an aquired sound. However, I can understand why you'd say that if you don't listen to him on a daily basis, like I do. But...each album he's progressed in his delivery immensely. Peep his myspace to the snippet from his new album...along with the other tracks on there.

How do I get a hold of those? I would have more Lif stuff, but I can't find him on Limewire. I know I should be buying their albums, but when I get the money, I plan on buying all the underground albums I support.

Damn, really? I thought Mo' Mega was some of his better shit. Try giving it another listen.

Chino XL should be considered in these things.

can't believe i forgot de la soul... i'd say posdnous and trugoy (is that his name?) are probably the most intelligent to have consistently managed to make dope albums and stay relatively successful and accessible. haven't heard their latest one, but grind date i thought for the most part was sick, the track with carl thomas is amazing.

del the funky homosapien never gets a mention either

"a ghost in a shell, alone in a cell,
i wrote this in jail playing host to myself"

deltron 3030 and no need for alarm are both classics, and wish my brother george was here is one of the funkiest records i've ever heard.
to me he is one has the perfect balance of flow and lyricism, aswell as sick concepts and subject matter. his production sometimes lets him down though.

abstract rude, aceyalone & micah 9 are all fucking sick with their lyrics too. the left coast definately gets slept on on this forum.

Use Emule mate. Not as quick as limewire but it has a vast selection of files plus u can d/l full albums.

they don't get any love though, in fact freestyle fellowship are probably the most lyrical group of emcees ever. espescially for their time, shit was on some next levels with their structure and rhyme schemes. aceyalones verses on my fantasy is unbelievable

"do you want to be part of my fantasy?
insanity, vanity, family, Kennedy, can it be?
it'll be great we can break all laws of gravity
make room, or fly to the moon on a broom
we can let it get better, get etiquette, adequate,
that'll get sloppy, ten-four, you copy?
big jollopy I pop a seed, pop a floppy
teenybopper, hoppy, hype, my squad's the gods of the mic
so play vanilla, hammer, shamma-lamma-ding-dong
killer, slummer, plan a pop song, KA!
but I like breakbeats and beatin' on the walls of bathrooms
the b-boys b boys forever
yo, punk- what's your function?
robotics, planets, products, annex, got it
mechanics or sonics, organic, exotic, narcotic
bought it, forgot it
I jot it down 'til I'm hooked on phonics"

thats like the opening 16 bars and the man just keeps flowing

Have you got magnificent city?

i don't rate it at all to be honest. the production is dope but aceyalones regression makes me upset. i listen to all balls don't bounce or book of human language and thats like the pinnacle of west coast hip hop, and then magnificent city is so fucking weak in comparison.

Ill need to get all balls dont bounce.

His Delivery is one of the best that I've heard. You got Celestial Clockworks?

that is an amazing album! i lent it to one of my boys a couple of years ago and haven't seen it since. the song where he takes the three perspectives of the pregnant girl, the foetus and the father is unbelievable. that guy is fucking ridiculous yo

This is no particular order :

GZA
Nas
Slick Rick
Eminem
Biggie
Raekwon
Andre 3000
Lil Wayne
Del The Funkee Homosapien
Immortal Technique ( Even though his flow is horrible )

Actually, there are better rappers with better lyrics than ImTek. Mos Def, Q-Tip & Common should all be on that list too...and sooner or later I'm sure Kweli or Fiasco will make their way onto it.

hm. Well, everyone has a right to their opinion. Did you listen to it with a biased opinion? lol
just fuckin' wit you

I'm sure the only Wayne he's ever heard was on the radio. I don't blame him, if I hate someone I aint in a rush to hear their other shit.

I dont listen to the radio... dumbass

Im talking about lyrics


Its a fact that if anyoen puts wayne in thier top 10 for lyrical ability, they need to be shot, and once more again!

The quarterback well protected from the +Warren Sapp+
The young heart attack I spit dat cardiac
You can't see me baby boy you got dat catorax
I'm right here straight out the hood jus like an alley cat
Since everyone's a king where the fuckin' palace at
Me I got calus on my hand I can handle dat
Its no problem baby I so got 'em
Its just a victory lap baby I'm jus joggin'
And I ain't even out of breathe
the motherfuckin' best yet sorry for cursing
Who?"

How can anyone take him seriously? He comes tight sometimes like "niggaz hungry cuz they ain't ate nothin, but they wanna leave when you say you outta mustard", but I don't like them wack punchlines like that toilet one. Even if it's somewhat decent, I'd rather have serious lyrics. That's why I'm not big on rappers that rely on punches.


.

yeah keep talking shit get your e-peen up...
Ask any real hip hop person... where they would place lil wayne...


btw im still waiting for you to post thsoe SO awesome lyrical lyrics, that have GREAT content.

Shit, another outbreak ^^^

Anyone have some herpacil?

this kid is equipped with all kinds of pathetic retorts straight from his ebaumsworld.com bookmark

that sums it up?

ayo i warned you
now all niggas can do is mourn you
i'm born to kill, and still thrill to put it on you
there's no regrets, remorse only results in loneliness
only the strong survive, and strive through life as warriors
All of us die, some of us killed, even massacred
who wanna try? punish your will if you ask for it
i'm hazardous for your health, and hell's your next stop
for real my shit's cocked, your world has just stopped...
im not the one you should be under-estimatin'
come test ur fate and i guarantee i'll be under investigation
you cant handle the whole, i'll slam you on ur skull
or we can go blow-for-blow like evander and bowe
you'll never know
however though i still hold the title
give all my rivals a chance to dance, who missed the homocidal
hand on my bible i swear to defend the crown
i've been around since forever and never let it touch the ground
Don't fuck around and catch a rude awakenin'
My crew's basically waitin' patiently for you to move your patrons in
Then we'll surround you, form Desert Storm and pound you
Look around you, TS's everywhere like Soundview
The Boogie Down do it like nobody, who are we?
The foundation, you're facin' a whole army..

hilltop hoods are an aussie hiphop crew. and they are about 50 times better than your shitty little fifty cent written verse above me.^

nas
jay z
common
slick rick
biggy

honerable mention
big pun (g rap already on the list, too similar, still incredibly nice)
ghostface killah (slick rick already on the list, ill storytellers)
kweli, monch, (common on there, all lumped together i guess, all nice, edge to common, strictly off his entire body of work over his carear)
andre 3000- just not on the list, nice, creative as hell, south legend

i made a mistake, black thought should be on that list, maybe instead of common since i said all the monches and kweli's of the world lumped together in the same group and i believe thought is nicer then all of them, just me though

^^I forgot slick rick....

Ludacris should deserve consideration. He makes SMART club music.

lol that's an oxymoron if I've ever seen one. I know what you'r sayin', though.

That's why I capitalized it, lol. Biggie made smart club music... it's still stupid, and you can chill or go crazy to it, but it makes sense metaphorically, lyrically, the rhymes are top notch, and the flow is one of a kind.

Its kinda confusing what to judge as good lyricsm though.. like people are saying pac is a good story teller but not a good lyricist, thats kinda contradicting to me but in a way I can see what you gettin at... for me in general I like my lyrics to be challenging to the mind, thats what I consider good

Yea I like that kinda music cos it works good in any enviroment, whether you at home or in the club...

Word.

As for Pac, he's definitely one of the better lyricists of all-time, if you go by content. Slick Rick is being mentioned a lot on here, and Pac is just as good of a storyteller as Rick is.

Its actually called a kilt,and yes my ancestors wore them hundreds of years ago. You should be banned for racism.

I'm of Scottish descent. We had the balls to wear skirts on the battlefield, while we cut people down with swords. That's right, kilts are pimp.

Damn right and americans should know that the 1st person to sign american independence was scottish.

America sells kilts more than here. Samuel L Jackson and other famous people have worn kilts,even ?uestlove from The roots.

Hes just an ignorant racist with no general knowledge on the world and hes here to start shit.


Hes probably of European decent himself but hes just too ignorant not to know.

10 Lyricists .. No order

KRS-One - Hes the teacher .. every thing he spits is on point and speaks the truth ..

GZA - The greatest lyrcists to come outta Wu-Tang "Liquid Swords" proves this

Immortal Technique - Not the greatest flow of all time but still some pretty powerful lyrics and a great story teller check both his albums prefrably Rev 2..

Big L - Even though he only released 2 albums they were class .. His debut is str8 talk about the struggles of life etc ..

MF Doom - Not very popular on RW .. but still very interesting to listen to and you can pick up something new with each listen .. a very intelligent lyricist ..

Mr Lif - A very complexed rapper but spits REAL lyrics..

NaS - Not the greatest lyricist but still a definite top10

Talib Kweli - One of the very few commercial rappers who have an amazing ability to have strong lyrics and tell a great story with an excellent theme..

2pac - Dead, deceased whatever .. hes still got some class albums and has a great delivery with some very informative lyrics about the average person struggle..

Ghostface Killah - Still on point 10years later...

Its kinda confusing what to judge as good lyricsm though.. like people are saying pac is a good story teller but not a good lyricist, thats kinda contradicting to me but in a way I can see what you gettin at... for me in general I like my lyrics to be challenging to the mind, thats what I consider good

If you were and Mc..you would know what range of lyricism there is..its not always about using big, scientific, non nonsensical bars...story telling IS lyricism..and pac was 1 of the best, if not the best at story telling..thus, him being on my list

^ wtf? I said that pac was a good lyricist for that. And of course I know the range of lyricsm I've been listening to hip hop for 10 years, I was say in what I like. I don't see why you needed to make an argument there

I'm late, but here it is

1. Big Pun
2. GZA
3. Big L
4. Nas
5. Inspectah Deck
6. Rakim
7. Black Thought
8. Eminem
9. Biggie
10. Pac

Wow, I'm surprised alot of you niggas have Pac in y'all lists.

im surprised so many put Black Thought actually, some people think he needs to step his game up. And don't get me wrong, he's one of my favourite of all time, but I dont think he belongs in a top 10 *lyricist* list

For Pac I was considering quantity before quality, Black Thought cause he doesn't rap about the usual cash, hoes shit, he raps about some serious things

Well my favorites are:
1)Nas
2)Rakim
3)Common
4)Guru
5)Biggie
6)Black Thought
7)GZA
8)Big L
9)2Pac
10)Talib Kweli

No Order:
Nas (my favorite rapper of all time)
Rakim (probably the most influential rapper ever)
GZA
Eminem (pre-encore he had some great lyrics)
Big Pun
Big L
Canibus(don't really like him but I can't deny he has incredible lyrics)
Slug
Vast Aire (The Cold Vein is one of the most incredible albums i've ever heard lyrically)
Royce Da 5'9"

^ encore wasnt too bad... had some dope tracks!
