Who's more lyrically skilled, group A or group B?

[Nomad1]

nikka stfu and ask your mom how black my dikk is.

Cant she's dead.

Andre does sound like a midwest nikka...rapping fast, doing all types of patterns.
Outkast first album had a west coast tinge to the production...they also had a Cali-like delivery.
Why? At the time, that was the primary influence to ALL rappers outside of NYC.
Outkast is simply an Atlanta version of what freestyle fellowship started...w/ a southern accent and cultural references.
Some folks forget.

You're talking only about the most superficial, stylistic ways. Andre's depth and poeticism is unparalleled.

A FF comparison is a complement btw. Aceyalone and Mikah-9 are 2 of the few people alive on Andre's level lyrically.

 

[FreshAIG]

Group A

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Group B has a higher probability of producing some wack shyt while Jada, Styles and Pun are 100% guaranteed fire. I like Group A...

I understand but the question is who you think is more lyrically talented.

I mean, I play Rick Ross more than MF Doom but Rick Ross damn sure isn't a more talented lyricist than Doom.

but it depends on what your definition of lyricism is. If you're talking strictly in a poetic sense then it would be group b. If you're talking about the hip hop head definition (complex rhyme schemes) then it would obv be group a.

But imo group B does win by a large margin. Why? I bet anyone in group b can do a song with complex rhyme schemes. Having poetic abilities isnt that easy to develop in a song if you're not that type of rapper.

Doom & Posdnous are the 2 most incomparable MC's of the bunch. Not saying they're better than Pun or Dre but certainly more strange in the best way possible.



Styles P overrated as fukk too. Prodigy is leaps and bounds ahead of that turtle head. And I like Styles just fine.

 

[mannyrs13]

I'll go with group B. 3000 and Doom are great lyricists.

 

[call_me_step_daddy]

Picked A off top cuz them otha nikkas is cornballs minus puba

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

B but the better song would.come from group A

 

[Redwing80]

Group A. Easily

 

[stealthbomber]

for straight lyrics i guess group a but group b is more talented overall

a group a album would be alright but group b could make a fiiiiire album

 

[ULCYril]

Group b
A has a few good lyricist but overall b has more so a group prob more marketable tho

 

[Big Mel]

I only love Pun from group a. I have tremendous respect for Jada but he's shyt the bed discography wise.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Just a coli survey. Not who's music you like better. Just who's the more talented group of lyricists.

My guess is group A will win in a landslide. That's the wrong choice though.

Group A:
Big Punisher
Jadakiss
Fabolous
Styles P
Lloyd Banks

Group B:
Andre 3000
Q-Tip
Posdnous
Grand Puba
Zevluv X/MF Doom

GROUP C

nas
Kool g rap
Shaggy 2 Dope
Rakim
Royce da 5 9
