Jay influenced alotta nikkas on that list they call lyricist,probaly more than Nas,I gotta look back over it later....I. would say in general nas has more influence on nerdy backpackers who don't have careers...but jay the reason y'all care about a double entendre.

realistically this list is one of the better lists i've seen from a mainstream publication, but it still has alot of faults though, some slight and some glaringly obvious. swap gza and q-tip and the top 20 is a good list that you could move around to suit your own preference. everything aftet that is really questionable though.
but i am gonna say this, nas and rakim desrve the one and two spot, in either order.

Nas and Jay-Z are better than Rakim though. Way too many nikkas from the 80's also.

Lennox Lewis was a better boxer than Muhammad Ali but Ali is still the greatest.

nas had way more influence than jay from a lyrical standpoint, all the way down to the fact that illmatic had a HUGE influence over jay himself. plus nas is clearly a better lyricist than jay.
the one yall should be trying to argue is how did biggie get ranked higher than jay?
the real answer to the number 3 spot is kool g. rap but they have him at 18 or something. thats just disturbing.

This list is utter bullshyt. Rick Ross is not a lyricist. RR has limited vocab and at best a glorified hype man.
still not a player

This actually isn't a bad list. Some issues tho'
1) G Rap needed to be higher on the list. At least put him above Andre freaking 3000.
2) Redman should be above Q-Tip.
3) I love Common, Mos, and Jada but Big L should be ahead of all of them.
4) Kanye needs to move to the back of the damn line. No way is this dude approaching #30 on a Top 50 list. MAYBE #45-50. The fact that he's ahead of GZA, Method Man and Black Thought is just
5) The **** Rick Ross doin' ahead of Royce and Lupe
? And no Ghostface? Really?
