I think a lot of these guys, seemingly, think that just layering a bunch of multis back to back is a "pen"...I consider a Pen someone who writes shh that takes high brain power to come up with...along with the rhyming ability, that's just me. Nigs who don't waste bars, like everything fits and is perfect...no random type shhit just to keep the rhyme pattern going...type shhit.

Everybody (Pretty much everybody) on the list is ill so it's whatever...I like that Nitewing is so high, when he's in his bag he might be my #1...of course putting resume and tenure and passion and all that to the side, I'm talking just pure writing ability, he be saying CRAZY crazy ill shhit...while rhyming rhyming along with it.

Wtf has Klutz accomplished tho for us to even value this list? Lol. Just another random list.

300 murders a year
Some of the guys on the list I agree with others I don't believe belong on there my top 10:

1. Lux
2. Nitty
3. Verb
4. JC
5. Danny meyers
6. Twork
7. Mook
8. Chess
9. Daylyt
10. B dot

I leave guys like nitewing iron off because I don't feel they have done enough excellent pen performances in their career. I have meyers so high since I know now how many bars he done wrote for others , and imo chilla had a "pen' when battle rap was all about schemes once the game switched from a lot of schemes I felt chilla was just ok with the pen.

Klutz went in spaces and acrtually broke down his reasoning for each rankings. He's actually really intelligent and made valid points

Like you said, his list really isn't more important than anyone else but at least he provided some solid foundation for why he ranked people where he did.

From what I was hearing he seems to value conveying a message that is understandable and the versatility of your pen. For example he has Daylyt "low" because he considers Daylyt to have only two speeds. Either overly complex lyrically to the point few to nobody understands or incredibly simply to the point it's elementary and he said the only time Daylyt actually gets his point across to the masses he has to go ultra simple. He hasn't found the balance of making it complex but also digestable.
