who is the greatest lyricist technically

[Mike Statik]

canibus in his prime was ok lyrically but never a top tier lyricist

and pac and biggie were lyrical in terms of complex rhyme schemes metaphors wordplay punchlines now ice cube was simple imo for example.

this dude is delusional

obv he never heard ... 2000BC, Desperados, Lost @ C, Patriots, Beasts from the East, Boys 2 Men

Canibus in his prime was prob one of the MOST lyrical rappers ever...everyone knows this

Pac and Big were cat in the hat rhymers compared to dudes like Bis

obviously u trolling u think multis don't have to match in syllable count.

[CashmereThoughts]

rakim did not create anything besides complex rhyme schemes.

Ok, so t think that alone gets him on the ballot, can you elaborate on how Pacs lyricism belongs in this convo?

But does Nas have multi-syllabic multis that are a perfect match not just in syllable count, but in hesitated, pocketed flow delivery tempo? Just ignoring the metaphors and verbals, I'm talking purely multis down to the breath count? Remember, only multis with stochastic word count, not counting slurred or iambic pentameter multis with perfect syllable count.

 

[intilectual recipricol]

Canibus' lyricism is greatly exagerated...

the answer is Lupe...



rhyme schemes, wordplay, flow... goddamn the greatest lyricist

nas does not match his syllables in syllable count with multis he only did that on illmatic and it was written he fell off lyrically imo.
