The last song on the list is Nas is like if you didn't know R.Hiphop92
first of all remeber all caps when u spell the name….. and next em is a tough lyricist… idk what u talking bout just cause he sold recodrds and white people like him dnt mean hi is bad
you should
sorry i shall wait to the end of the video before mentioning missing nas
have you heard him on 50's new song. i am a stan but i dont like eminem as much as i used to. having said that on that 50 and adam levine song he has took rap to a new level rhyming words that dont rhyme, incredible. and i would have nas instead of ras kass but only opinion
I can respect this list, not bad, but Nas' father was way to far down on the list.
Yeah man, I've been gone for a while, but I'm thinking of making a comeback…should I?
I like you no homo. I like people who know a good M.C. when they hear one,whether the only place you can hear them is on a blog or on the radio. Please tell me you still make videos.
Eminem freestyle!
Em doesn't suck, but DOOM is definitely #1.. Or tied with Nas, Ghost, Jay Elec, etc.
Good vid btw…I repect ur opinion…IMO I would of put canibus at a higher rank moved L a bit down, taken andre out & included kool g rap, big pun, & my personal fav K-RINO. I would of added diabolic, hopsin & AZ to honarable mentions.
I swear niggas think da topics u rhyme about make u lyrical. LET ME TELL U NAGGAZ SUMTIN. Being lyrical is all about Kraft-T-Ness which may include flo, swag, wordplay, multi's, punches, knowledge, makin sense etc… it's the overall delivery of ur words. That combined with topic(s) that speak loudest 2U = UR GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME LYRICALLY & by industry wut matters is who sells the most which = Eminem currently. I just thought I'd put the hammer down
this list would be perfect with immortal technique 😐
agree nas is the best.
Charles Hamilton
Good list. Wouldn't agree with the order, but people have there own opinions.
no del? no aes?
i know theres only 10 spots, but seriously…
@REalhiphop92 props u picked his most lyrical song, hence ferget he's lyrically more capable then any "lyricist" u named…..period…dude has the total package…..sure u were born in 92 , 89 here i study lyrics, delivery, passion the hole 9……….point 5 eminem is THEE most complete lyricist to ever spit on a mic period……listen to rabbit run, demon inside, and psycho ect. (lots more, those are his best lyrical, no chorus all spit lol) dont argue cuz u wont win…..just go listen
eminem is the best lyricist since marshall mathers r u kidding me STFU U BLACKS
@rakimkoolgrapwutang yeah brother that true
@rakimkoolgrapwutang not a ill lyricist but he defintley a good lyricist
what about pac he is a great lyricist defintley in the top 3
@DJDisgust I don't think nas deserves #1 either but this isn't our list. However I think Nas should be mentioned when the conversation is about lyricism. Hell the only person who straddles the fence for me is Jay-Z and that's due to his excessive biting and lack of lyrical creativity. Now he's vastly overrated. I'll have to disagree with eminem's later albums being better. His 1st two albums were the his best with number 1 topping number 2.
