Damn...no one cares about lyrics, bars or being the best anymore ... IS there even a top 5 anymore?

[lucky lefty]

Top 5 rappers right now = Hov, Jay Z, Jigga, Young Hov, Hova Da Gawd

Top 5 lyricists right now = Hov, Jay Z, Jigga, Young Hov, Hova Da Gawd
@ lyricism being dead as long as the GOAT lyricst aka the GOAT our Flow Lord & Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd is still making music

Hov gotchu haters salty as fukk cuz he's 20 yrs deep and still handing out lyrical lynchings like they quarter waters & y'all fav rappers some broke ass lil niglette on the block

 

[Zero]

Royce > Kendrick, Ross, Gibbs

In 2001 maybe

 

[lucky lefty]

Lupe, Jay @ any point in his career, Ras Kass, Nas, Eminem

@ Hova haters still fronting like he ain't an elite wordsmith

@ Hova haters fronting like Lugay Fagsco aka Toupee Fiasco aka Pepe Lepew or Lostradamus aka Destiny's abortion sponsor are fukking with the GOAT

@ even mentioning Ass Kass or Feminem aka Remy Mayonnaise aka Masta Albino with the GOAT especially @ this flabby & sick stage in their careers

 

[lucky lefty]

Give me examples of this amazing lyricism

*insert any Hova Da Gawd song*

 

[blackslash]

Crazy

I hate people who say "I can't listen to it if it doesn't have a good beat"

Lyrics trumps all IMO

Nikka if all u care bout is lyrics bump some spoken word da fck

Nikka said the beat dont matter

Nikka is u serious

How is Lupe a biter

if Cole is a lyricist and considered a good one then the bar must be ankle high.

Elzhi
Crooked
Royce
Horseshoe GANG

.... have all released GREAT "lyrical" projects this year. Royce has released 2.


there's plenty more, but those are probably my favorite 4 "lyrical" artists out right now. before Budden drops new shyt again...

i don't listen to Horseshoe gang but i saw they put out a new project recently and it had one of the worst titles i've ever saw and it reminded my why i don't listen to them.

haven't listened to that Crooked I joint either but that Royce album was a dud in a LONG line of dud albums from him.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

cole is a lyricist.

i'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge cole stan and even imma gonna have say if yall consider cole a lyricist he's at the very bottom end of the scale in terms of nikkas like

gibbs
all of TDE
pusha t
elzhi
jay electronica
lupe
joey badass
blackmilk
krit

i'd just say he's above nikkas like ross, wale, logic and all them

right. better to judge all artists by everything other than music/lyrics in a thread where lyrics are the main focus. makes sense.

true, but when the guy they are mostly known through their affiliation with struggles badly to make good music and their own project is some goofy bait title slandering another type of rap music i have no problem judging the book by it's cover.

 

[Youseenmywork]

I don't discuss hip hop with young heads but I got the answer to this...but I'm let yall cook thoe

gibbs all of tde joey badass krit are not better then him lyrically speaking

the rest yes.

 

[spliz]

Cole aint a lyricist.

When have lyricist ever been mainstream or popping?

One of the dumbest statements I've read regarding hip hop hands down. Log off bruh.
