Who in your opinion is the best rapper(lyrically)

yeah listen to the drought 3. he absolutly owns all the songs...go listen to I'm blooded and listen to those lyrics...ya cant really relate but dont tell me that they arnt sick lyrics
 
lyrically thats prolly the best song ever next to crank that by soulja boy

soulja boy is by far the best rapper i have ever heard in my life.
 
Jay-Z on reasonable doubt

Nas up to hip hop is dead

Lupe

Lyrics Born uses some good vocab

and DL, or Wu Tang Clan
 
true. in my opinion eminem was really good compared to other mainstream rappers. his latest CD was crap tho.
 
The dj drama and lil wayne dedication II is such a dope album how can you hate on it..
--No one has talked about living legends.. well parts but not as a group yee?
Oh.. and Benefit is the shit... His album was make by himself on his comp.
 
there is absolutely no contest for Qwel

Mestizo is good as well

even though he would never call himself a rapper i'd have to say Saul Williams

Sims

 
what im about to say is gonna upst some people:

NaS sucks. sorry to burst any collective bubbles, or for that matter, make you choke on his dick.

his rhymes are just boring as hell. everything is monotone and uninteresting.

as for those of you who claim "he tells a story", so does Mr. Rogers on weekday mornings.

nas's "metaphors" in his rhymes are long and drawn out in order to confuse the listener into believing they are something requiring skill to write.

fuck nas. i said it.
 
Sage Francis is the most poetic obviously. I really gotta disagree with anyone saying Vinnie Paz. He is just a really angry homophobic fat dude. Occasionally he says something worthwhile, but it seems like his default setting is shouting how he will chop some faggot's head off.

Also, Fatlip of Pharcyde is sick

and One Be Lo
 
Oh and a guy that probably a lot of americans are not familiar with that I respect alot is Akala, reasonably underground over here, biggest songs is probably Shakespeare and it's sick. This is from his song carried away

Another hearse roll up slow,

Carry one more poor lost soul,

Carry them things every single day

Coz it makes him feel safe

Coz he carry on them ways, screw face

Love the game-reppin� his estate,

Talk tough look straight in his face,

Carrying deep pain self-hate,

Carry fam, so he carry weight,

It�s logical daddy got carried away,

Not married away, just didn�t stay

Coward carried his son to this fate,

His boys carrying weight in a wooden box

cant stand straight,

They was getting outta the game,

But look fate she don�t wait

Now the woman in the front row, her face

t show no pain,

But her brain went insane on the day the

news came,

Stare into space, face numb,

The boy getting carried, she carried 9

months

 
he is not the best rapper. he is a fat mexican conspiracy theorist asshole who thinks the government is out to get him. He does have a few good songs though
 
a few??? he slays harder than any rapper alive... dude is hella smart to he isnt some hood rat faggit talking about his grills and spinnerz
 
I dunno about single rapper... But Blue Scholars got some damn clever lyrics, and its not all ghetto. They talk about real shit not pimpin' hoes and slangin' drugs.
 
OMG tupac licks soo much balls it's not even funny. Com is great, gotta love Mos Def especially with the Roots, and Talib. But I;d say the best has got to be Aesop Rock. The guy slays everybody. Oh and Biggie kicks tupac's ass any day if not for his lyrics his production was so much better. Pac's shit sounded like it was recorded in a paper bag.
 
Yes blood, big up to the uk hip-hop. Where you from? are you a fan of drum and bass and breakbeat as well? cause that shit is ill.

also people from the uk that deserve mention

doc brown

klasnekoff

task force

jest

skinnyman

rooty toot manuva (roots manuva)

foreign beggars

Rodney P-one of my favorite lines not necessarily the best...'you've yet to see the best of p, you believe I smoke too much weed it's guaranteed, I'ma twist trees till my eyes dun bleed and I believe sex is good on e but that's me....' on the track 'swords in the dirt' you should check it out.

anyways some good uk shit, not that any of you will listen to it ever but them english people got some skills.
 
anyone who hates on lil wayne should listen to the georgia bush, last track on the dedication II. the second half will blow your mind.
 
by the way, the 2nd half of georgia bush is actually its own song, its called "weezy's ambitionz az a ridah" or however the hell its spelled.
 
Like i said before, Dl for sure, I would also say wu tang and it doesn't really fit this category but sizzla.
