But Nas is a lyricist. I hate that people these days use wordplay as the end all be all barometer for lyricists. If u have to leave a lyricist like Nas off the list that means something is wrong with ur definition.

No doubt, but I think Lupe associates "lyricist" with wordplay, and Nas don't really do that. This is why he said Kendrick isn't a top tier "lyricist", because he isn't a wordplay guy

Not even close, but cole makes better music. Lupe can get so lyrical it takes away from the song,

Lupe should have said rappers that can comeup with better punchlines than me cause none of those nikkas other than Jay can hold his jock strap when it comes to lyricism.

"And so it seems, I'm sewing jeans".....Other than Jay, I don't think any of them other nikkas have said a single line doper than that (just a single bar not two). And that ain't even Lupe's best.
