I guess that's pretty dependent on what you value in lyrics. People like Pac and Em have tracks where the entire song is a metaphor, Immortal Technique raps about economic and political systems that cause systemic poverty in Latin America and outlines ways to fix the issues, Biggie's flow and verbal dexterity is imo possibly the greatest of any artist ever, Nas does shit like rap from the perspective of a gun, and I think all of those things require a great deal of giftedness as a writer.
yeah IT has a lot more merit than these other guys, overlooked him, and i really like Kendrick too.
