The Source Top 50 Lyricist List Discussion

[Redwing80]

Because it clearly says no order at the beginning lol.

lmao I'm buggin for that, my bad

50cent and Kanye being on a top 50 list for lyricists is a joke and I love both of them musically. Lupe being so low and 2Pac being so high is also a joke. You can make great music without being a superb lyricist and whoever made this list was confused about the difference.

 

[No Homo]

Kanye West is not a better lyricist than the other 49 on that list

Fixed

lol @ rakim being number one! Ish get me every time. At one point back in the eighties he was that dude but not in 2014. Let's stop confusing past contributions as some perpetual thing.

 

[Ziggiy]

Common deserves top 15 if not Top ten status

Rakim's lyrics are incredible to this day, his new shyt, and his old shyt surpasses most lyrics today too.

Common's nice, I enjoyed his wordplay.

@Tunez @SpacelySprockets @riddlerap @Still FloW No Banks... list is a joke

 

[ManBearPig]

West is a better lyricist than GZA from Wu-Tang?

 

[C-Styles]

Guru, Kanye west, Rick Ross and Lil Kim should not be in the top 50 period. Though i love Kim to death, i gotta be real. they gave props to Royce which i'll give them props, but how is Llyod banks not in there? They forgot Joe Budden as well, disgusted with that!

it's funny how kanye is the one that got some of yall upset

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Wow that list is horrible, apart from the top 8. Prodigy and TI are not better lyricists than Fabolous

Why is Kanye West so high

Rick Ross is not better than Styles P, Royce, LUPE and 50

Yes they are especially Prodigy

West if one of my all time favorites by he shoudnt sniff being a top 40 lyricist. Let alone be above guys like Black Thought and the Genius who made careers based off wordplays, story telling, double entendres ect.

And making good music too "Liquid Swords, fall apart
