[Wacky D]

I don't know, maybe yeah, but she wrote too.

kim writes too but shes always HEAVY with the ghostwrittens and keeps career ghostwriters in her camp.

why you think Dutch was always in the cut the past few years?

[Rakim Allah]

lol @ rakim being number one! Ish get me every time. At one point back in the eighties he was that dude but not in 2014. Let's stop confusing past contributions as some perpetual thing.

It 2014 and yet no one has surpassed The God lyrically.

Very quick list off the top, can already see I left noteable people out that should have been included but hard to keep it to just 50. But it's better than that original garbage...

 

[Diunx]

Snoop and Kenye ahead of GZA and no RZA, Inspectah Deck or Ghostface

Disagree, I don't rate him. A lot of his rhymes are gibberish disguised as multies.

I don't get why a white man HAS to be in your top 3 or it's a fukkING joke, considering all the black/brown great lyricists there have been. That's odd to me, even the person I consider THE best lyricist, if he wasn't in the top 3 I wouldn't think it's a fukking joke because there have been many great lyricists. That's weird to me.

 

[The Ruler 09]

Canibus ia a great lyricist of course, there's a difference between a great lyricist and a great freestyler, never said he was that.

 

[NV-ME]

snoop is a lyricist?
