Not even Top 20? ... I would take your opinion more serious if you made great music. Cuz then I'd be able to tell who your influences are & whatnot...but most of ya'll don't care for lyricism and don't know what lyricism is...

AZ is considered the most underrated rapper of all time by most and one of the greatest lyricists of all time...so I'm actually completely right with what I say

shoutouts to @remarK cuz he acknowledges this man as well

and Krhyme you're way off the mark... Do me a favor and listen to AZ's catalog of music.... Listening to 5 tracks wont help..

Give me your Top 10 rappers and I bet 2-3 of them are garbage ass rappers that rush their lyrics and therefore their music is a half-assed product with little to no substance or little to no complexity...

Given, Pac was good when he was alive.. but people put him on a higher pedestal than he should be. He is nothing close to what Eminem can do lyrically. Nothing close. Sure he can make songs with meaning.. so can Eminem. But if we're talking sheer lyrical talent.. he isn't even in Eminem's ballpark. This may just be my bias, since I think Biggie > Pac anyways.. but I know others share my thoughts.

Also, AZ is nice... maybe nicer than people know... but he's no Top 5 of all time, in my eyes.

I don't have Biggie in my Top 10...and I'm right next to NY

I think Biggie had some solid bars and he made great music..Music to dance/party to, music that bumps in the car, music to vibe to...but the same argument you gave for Pac & Em...can be said for Biggie. Biggie was nowhere near as nice as Em. & I'd say Biggie wasn't even as nice as Pac. Pac understood what music was about

A lot of people live, make music, and die. & They don't leave a lasting impact. Their impact is shitty music, or dance/club songs.

Pac & AZ are part of the rare breed that understand rap music as a way to express how you feel. They use it as a way to reach others that can relate. They use it as a way to uplift, to tell their story, to share their struggle. Nas does too. That's what you call REALness...

Not a lot of realness in the game anymore. Not a lot of people that care to listen for gems dropped by great lyricists. Only that catchy bullshit that gets radio play. Even Drake (who I supposedly love, right?) is saturating the game with bullshit. He only speaks about success & relationships. A lot of people can relate...but he doesn't drop knowledge. He just sings and drops decent little punchlines every now and then

fuck that shit. I'm a 90's baby and even though most of my generation was led astray into believing music is about what sells

"Oh Jay-Z beat Nas cuz Jay-Z has more money, more #1 albums, more this"

fuck that shit!!! If any of ya'll are passionate about rap music and what it really stands for then ya'll understand where I'm coming from. I think it's time to restore the golden era of rap....i would never know what that was like...I was still young during those times, but I look back at old videos and old songs and its kinda sad knowing those times are gone. the times when people put thought into what they were saying in their songs..because they knew as a rapper they had a voice & a responsibility to reach out and uplift the people

You tell me. I don't hear the lyricism in your music

So I'm guessing off the bat that Nas, AZ, Pac, Talib Kweli, Black Thought...names like those are NOT your influences

And for clarity's sake. If you can't take K's opinon serious because he doesn't make "great music" then where the hell does that leave you? lol . No offence ofcourse.

Well then maybe I didnt mean to say great music... I respect K, not tryna take anythin from him

I havent heard any of his music though...let alone anything complex or lyrical.

and that statement stands with most of the people in this thread... I'm not impressed.
