Who's The Greatest Lyricist Ever?

[intilectual recipricol]

i think jay-z got better schemes he underrated imo with multisyllablic rhyming

Disagree breh...

Jigga dont got nothin like this...

I gave you honesty on my first joint
And y'all all came out
I showed you what change 'bout
Unroll your blunts, pour your champagnes out
(Dullers of the pain) so you can plainly see
The black man pain I campaign 'bout
God willing 'fore I wane, I take a champion route
Before I throw a bout: I'll walk out the game
While my fans in the stands is chanting my name out, Lupe
And it's going to be PPV, won't be back for free
Gone need scratch to see me rematch with me
My greatest enemy, is my inner me
So I take this urge and give you Revenge of the Nerd: Fahrenheit 1-15

The GOAT lyricist

The GOAT lyricist

The theme song to The Sopranos
Plays in the key of life on my mental piano
Got a strange way of seeing life like
I'm Stevie Wonder with beads under the doo-rag
Intuition is there even when my vision's impaired, yeah
Knowing I can go, just switching a spare
On the highway of life, nikka it's sharp in my sight
Oh! Keen senses ever since I was a teen on the benches
Every time somebody like Ennis was mentioned
I would turn green, me, being in the trenches
Him, living adventureous, not worrying about expenditures
I'm braving temperatures below zero, no hero
No father figure, you gotta pardon a nikka
But I'm starving, my nikkas, and the weight loss in my figure
Is starting to darken my heart, 'bout to get to my liver
Watch it my nikkas, I'm trying to be calm but I'm gon' get richer
Through any means, with that thing that Malcolm palmed in the picture
Never read the Qur'an or Islamic scriptures
Only psalms I read was on the arms of my nikkas
Tattooed so I carry on like I'm non-religious
Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures
nikkas say it's the dawn, but I'm superstitious
shyt is as dark as it's been, nothing has gone as you predicted
I move with biscuits, stop the heart of nikkas acting too suspicious
This is food for thought -- you do the dishes

and i think your literally a homo and that is not a diss either.

Well you'd be incorrect, while the evidence that you are mentally retarded is astounding and substantial. Along with the evidence you are a pedophile.

This verse from Jay-Z presents a strong argument for him but you forgot to bold the multi's so I did it for you

Next time don't forget

I find it crazy that cats on the Coli overlook Biggie, of all people, when there's conversations on lyricism. This whole fascination with cats that do double time and string together big words (rippity rap) is funny to me. All those words n!ggas love to put in their raps and they still couldn't craft better stories than a Biggie, or Prodigy, or Ghostface. 75% of the n!ggas mentioned in this thread couldn't even fathom doing what Biggie did on this track:

So true. Most overlook the fact that when Biggie was alive & most of these guys mentioned were doing their thing, Big was still the consensus best emcee. To me that'll always separate him from his peers.

Pac is the GOAT

but youre one of the few naS stans I respect... seriously can you post some naS lyrics that are remotely close to something like a "Failure" or "Form Follows Function"? I am seriously trying to figure out what nikkaz are talkin about when they say dude is a dope lyricist.

Nas is a different type of lyricist from Jay and Lu

Instead of being heavy on incredible wordplay & entendres he excels in imagery, storytelling, complex multi-syllable rhyme schemes & other poetic devices

Tho Lupe excels in all of that shyt too that's why I think he's the best nikka to grab a mic lyrically

& of course Pac's one of the GOATs but I don't think he sits on the throne himself

Biggie was an amazing rapper. Flow and delivery were impeccable. Great lyricist too but not necessarily the best when it comes to solely lyrics, in my opinion, though still great.
