This person is not a real Rapper/MC. Nice joke though

[Boss-MC]

eminem has VERSES worthy of top ten but baically he is all over the place..........pun has SONGS worthy but not consistently.......cassidy has BATTLES worthy.....actually u no wat this list could be shortened drastically!! tupac told a great story, nas is probably the closest up there with rakim, but the rest r really who u wanna hear, vinnie paz tells a good "near death story" lyrically 2.........gimme a track 2 prove each........

ems is without doubt NO LOVE, that verse is outstanding, but the rest, lets compare

[NfiNiTy]

In no particular order:
Eminem
Eyedea

Twista
Biggie
2PAC
Nas
Rakim

Good List. I have to look up #8 and 10 though.

[Knowbodhi]

I think it's kind of sad only ONE person mentioned Eyedea or Aesop Rock. Just about anyone on Rhymesayers is great. Brother Ali is worth mentioning. Also, Conway, you def wanna check Cunninlynguists. Real tight work. And I might have missed it, but I don't think anyone said Chino XL. Dope wordplay.

[izayamoorman]

no order cuz im not takin the time to put them in order but the ten names that come to mind when I hear the words "Lyrical emcee" I think Em, Royce, Biggie, Pac, Lupe, Nas, Rakim, Immortal Technique, Talib, and Common. The other's that come to mind are punchline artists such as Wayne, Drizzy, Big L, Cass, Jag, B.o.B and Andre may be included in that list somewhere also.

Oh I know about Chino XL. He's been dope for years. He definitely makes my top 15 or 20. I will check out Cunninlynguist. I heard of Aesop Rock and Eyedea. Just haven't heard there music. Is there songs by these rapper you suggest that i should listen too?

[izayamoorman]

Would Los be considered a punchline artist or a Lyricist? And don't mistake the name with Fabolous, they're two completely different artists. Fab's dope too but he a punchline artist.

[Knowbodhi]

I'm at the Uni and blocked from youtube right now, otherwise I'd link you. But check out "No Regrets" and "9-5ers Anthem" by Aesop Rock and check out "Now" and "Here for You" by Eyedea. Also, you may want to be on a toilet while you do this. You will be shitting bricks.

No, people recognize talent which is why no one recognizes you. About this being just a website. Only people with no talent say that. You hang outs with queers talking about your nigga would rape my ass. Birds of a feather flock together that means you're gay too. I already got cookies from your mom's house.

Your record is -12 Points / 4 Won / 27 Lost. That's disgraceful. As of right now I'm # 4 On the Rocbattle Charts and on the front page.

Rappers on this site are just having there way with you.

lmao at krs1 being your top lyricist. I can't respect anyone who rhymes amazed and shit with amazed and shit like 4x and also beefs with nelly like cmon dog are you serious nelly doesn't even rap lol

[JIMMY CONWAY]

lmao at krs1 being your top lyricist. I can't respect anyone who rhymes amazed and shit with amazed and shit like 4x and also beefs with nelly like cmon dog are you serious nelly doesn't even rap lol

KRS1 has been in the rap game since 1986 and he would eat any Rapper that is current. Nelly was just a victim of krs onslaught. Nelly responded which mean he knew what he was in for. Tell me where is Nelly now. His career was just a small fraction of KRS1. Last but not least This Thread is called top 10 LYRICIST. Not top ten BATTLE RAPPERS.

[JIMMY CONWAY]

^Nelly actually had a gay as fuck but high selling track receintly, which is much more than KRS has done recently.

To me, if someone is hailed as a "lyricist", they probably aren't a good enough artist.
You need to go back in the archives and listen to some KRS1.

He, may not dance around like a sissy Mary. But he will always be a much better lyricist than Nelly Nelly could ever dream.

Everyone please read d the thread title first i'm looking for LYRICIST. Not Pop artist, not best dancer, not best song writer but LYRICIST. Nelly is not a lyricist. Just a horrible Pop Rapper mostly listened to by girls between the ages of 15-25.

[JIMMY CONWAY]

Didn't say he wasn't, but you said "What has Nelly done latley" and I told you...much more than KRS.

I wouldn't really be down with threads like this because writing songs as an artist is much more important than being good with lyrics.

But one thing that is undenyable, the best lyricism in a single verse is by a mile RA's verse on Uncommon Valor.

Point taken about Nellys last work. Not sure about RA's Verse
I give best verse to Rakim about 7 the Emcees.

But KRS1 has come out with his own stuff plus collabs with Buck Shot Shorty that was pretty dope.

Dope LYRICS+Dope Beats=Great SONGS.
The only thing Nelly wins is a popularity contest.

[JIMMY CONWAY]

I don't like Nelly, someone just brought it up.

I think you can get a great sold without dope lyrics. Hell check out every rock song in history. Music is 99.9% listenability. That's why "internet rappers" never make it, because they are all lyrics and no production. I mean check Immortal Tech's 3rd World. The lyrics would have been pretty dope...if we didn't have to sit through "A Green Lantern production" even two seconds, making the album suck balls.

I don' know if this is all true. As much as i HATE his music, look at soulja boy. his music was garbage and still is. I think his drive got him where he is today, because it sure wasn't talent
So if an internet rapper with even slightly more skill than soulja boy had that same drive, they could make it too.
