I was just joking lol, cause K-Rino isn't a Nas fan lol. You haven't listened properly then, he's a very different artist to Canibus, as much as I rate Canibus highly, K-Rino has more stories, concepts, much more emotional songs, and political songs, the only comparison really is an extensive vocabulary and lyrical songs.

All in all though, I think the best is Nas!
He's just the complete hip hop package, really don't think there's anyone better than Nas.
Not only that but he has endured the test of time, after so very long he's still dropping some of the best music!
Also I don't know where to put Big L

Killin fake hip hop
Theyre defining it as "lyrics they like" apparently
It's who has the best lyrics, the best and most effective usage of words.
It isn't the about word association or puzzles or complexity for the sake of it. You have to be saying something and say it well. And diversity is important too, cause it's different doing a lyrical song than a concept song.
...some guy that said:
It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shinin', sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin
Cause in my physical, I can express through song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell
It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
