Hi Genius,
1) does anon music deserve to be one of the lyricists of the year with Hustler's Ambition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re-a6gbq0_M
2) do u guys genuinely listen to new and up-and-coming artists
(some highlighted lyrics could be "I hope it is good that they are predicting (optimisits), i build my life off a treacherous vision (moderately repetitive low risks high reward) and play fair man give them some soul they used to take away the ball when i tried to score my goals" (removing oppression, work ing freely and reaching a good audience based off of skill
Thanks for doing what u do i hope u love my songs
who won
Dope show! ? Gotta go watch some tapes I've missed… ???
everyone mentioned are the top lyricists no doubt but i don't break a lyricist down to a line that you thinks hot or can relate too, lyricism is the total package the set up, flow, the rhyming complexity, the punch
Blackthought the shit man.
OBVIOUSLY ICYKARAT
Omg man..this is only discussion
LIL PUMP
? but fr lupe fiasco was best of 2018
Seriously #EMINEM no doubt…
Total disrespect for Earl Sweatshirt, disgusting
Hilarious to watch all 4 drooling over Chris Brown completely regardless of terrible things he’s done, then get all serious about the Sheck Wes allégations
Wale hands down but they barely talked about him
????????????
TO EVERYONE SAYING EM!!!
STOP….he's trash….he's not the culture, he's not even the best gimmick rapper….
If you don't support real students of the culture, you can't speak here….
AND IF EM IS YOUR FAV/ONLY HIP HOP ARTIST YOU KNOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY A FUCKIN CULTURE VULTURE…
Vybz Kartel, is the most lyrical

Pretty sure Mac Miller did the 2 song in 1 thing like Travis. For intstance if you listen to 100 Grandkids it sounds like 2 songs ALSO Perfect Circle/Godspeed also from GO:OD AM
Why does Charlemagne always have to let everybody know he's from south Carolina
FRANK THE KING
