"DOOM ALL CAPITOL NO TRICK SPELLING!"
Number 9 is trash
Black Thought , Eminem and Rakim- my top 3 lyricists of all time.
Bro like 3 or 4 of these were kinda wack
And Y'all Did Not Include K-Rino SMDH…
ha lol
I got afraid when Young M.A. said Eli not gonna lie
ynw melly: am i a joke to u?
Tf ski mask and Young ma doing here
Ngl JID should've been higher than ski on this list. Im a huge ski fan but its obvious after watching their 2018 cypher together
Ski mask…pac could write songs in 5 mins on the shitter not impressive ?
No Freddie, you’re Frozone
Genius: top 10 lyricist
Ski: ostiches flying
(Edit) @T-Verb FYI I wasn't tryna steal yo idea, I jus saw yo comment after I commented
Rip nibsey Hussle
I'm sorry but why the fuck ain't logic on hear and fucking Faucet Failure is like its one of my favorite songs but no lyrical
Nonbody here is close to black thought
JID YESSIR ?
what was 2Pac doing in the start?
young ma funny asl
Am I the only 1 that though Freddie Gibs was 2Pac
Yes, I am
how they gon put joey badass below m.i.a ? lmfaooo
you guys need to bring in kendrick lamar and jcole
marina wasnt on here wow
I knwo this late but don’t young ma look like snoop off the wire
They left the beat one off is this a real list
They left the beat one off is this a real list
Thought being number 1 was essential.
These are lyricist? Outta here
2:50 Snoop Dogg the free version
What is this top 10 rap lyricist of today cause ain’t no good rappers on this shit
BLACK THOUGHT DESERVES NUMBER 1
If Carti did these he would be number 1
I think Denzel curry shits on Gangsta style Persona I absolutely love him no homo ?
Im trying to figure out where these people get their rankings of all time lyricist from because this new age crap don't even count…i keep looking and seeing the greatest lyricist to ever bless a mic in at #7 or #3 when in fact is #1 and that lyricist is the R aka Rakim the GOAT!!! Period end of story
4:36 i thought chico bean started rapping lmao
How did cal scruby not get quoted
freddie is hella underrated and I'm up for a debate anyday.
The fact that the list is all rappers shows hiphop is the modern day poetry
Call me whatever you want, but nowadays its MEN who are at the lower end.
Maxo Kream is a lyricist. These guys are trash.
They did my man Joey dirty
I absolutly LOOOVVEEE nip tha great bit he aint a top 10 lyrisist. He talking straight facts all the time and ginging game to everybody who is willing to listen and learn. But when i think lyrics i think wordplay, rhimescemes, double and triples, stuff like that and he doesnt really do that.
Besides that i love that BT is you #1, that guys lyrical abillity is hella underrated
who else thought that the first guy was Tupac ?
Best lyric is by roddy ricch “nike headband got a check wrapped around my mind”
No Kendrick, no Cole, no Drake, no Eminem, no lyricists… well Pusha T the only rapper holding it down…
While watching this, i realize that snoop just talks like nipsey
Rapper speaks about being black suddenly their a lyricist

These are top 10??? Am sad that music fell this low. Where garbage mumble rappers are listened the most and people have no taste in music. Mumble rappers ruined music and people are still like "here you go.shove it up my ears and ass"
why is young ma on this, and why is she infront of denzel curry
