Did Rakim write for Kid-N-Play?

 

[Black_Jesus]

Hmmm, no Krayzie Bone??

 

[45123]

Pharaohe Monch before Queen Latifah?

 

[Rekkapryde]

Rakim and Nas are the two biggest influences on "lyricists" over the last 25 years. Jay really isn't in that conversation.

QFT.

But no Ghost and Ras kass but having Kanye, Kim, and Ross in there is HORRIBLE.

No problem with the top 5.

GRap should be in the top 10 EASILY. Black Thought should be higher but he's on there at least.

im dissappointed at how people are scared to call out certain rappers on here in fair of not being politically correct. as if youre going to get blackballed from posting or something.

q-tip at number 20? really homeslice? and nobody mentioned this but me?

 

[Michael Knight]

This list is trash.
@ cosigning anything The Source thinks.

 

[L. Deezy]

sooooooooo many wrongs on this list.. lol

Its not fair to have Biggie over Jay. Biggie had 2 albums man. He didnt have to reinvent himself.. go thru the hate for years and still make a record. oh man

Melle Mel is an rap Icon. but he cant be in the top 10. He just cant man. sorry

Rakim?? I know for a fact Nas surpassed him. Jay did too. Im sorry your whole CATALOGUE has to be relevant. Rakims whole catalogue isnt.

I just noticed they said 2 albums just to justify their list.. blah

 

[Mike Otherz]

these type of lists always gonna cause drama, but you can't argue with the top 2.

 

[Mike Otherz]

also, Kim Osorio is editing the source now, she's come a long way since she was sh!tting on eminem, she got them to rate him top 10 ever.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

^her husband still manage royce da 5'9?

 

[ManBearPig]

lol @ Jadakiss over Pharoahe Monch and Gza

 

[Savior]

Its alright for a mainstream magazine list...up to the top 20 anyway. These fools actually put Rick Ross in a top 50 LYRICIST list tho

 

[Street Knowledge]

Lupe is the Best lyricist I ever heard. Metaphors are on a whole other level

Kanye West doesnt even Write all of his own rhymes. You don't get on a list for basically cheating

This... Rhymefest, Cons, Cudi and who god knows who else help him pen his shyt.
