good postNo it doesn't, my list hits every spectrum of what I consider elite lyricism. Some are rhyme scheme heavy (Pun, Nas, Eminem, Rakim etc...), some or punchline heavy (Banks, Fab, Young Zee, Big L), some are wordplay heavy (Redman, Tame One ), some are metaphorical (Jay-Z, Vakill, Ras Kass) etc...
And I agree Pun is better than Big L by miles, I've always said that. But they're both top 50 lyricists.

We gotta take hip hop back..to many cornballs making decisions right now..
After the top 10 or 15, this becomes nothing but a popularity contest
the entire list is a popularity contest from the top.
matter fact, i cant even call it a popularity contest. its more like a political contest.
Snoop, Lil Kim and Kanye have all used ghost writers and they on the best 50 lyricist list?
FOH
I think Kim did actually write to though. Just Biggie either wrote some bars for her or showed her how to spit them better.
Cam and Big was both writin for her.
