Its a nice list,but personally I'd add a few more people & take out another few from the list.By the way,since when is Nas considered a lyricist???& what about 2Pac & Caz.I give those last 2 props for writing their own shit but they're in no way lyrical.

Nas cant be considered a lyricist if he doesnt write his own lyrics.Plain & simple.

Primoīs voice is average but not wack and if he were capable of writing "NY State Of Mind" and "Represent", Iīm very sure heīd rap

So Jungle & Wiz keep hiding their talent with every line they spit, so that nobody believes them when they claim theyīre responsible for the unbelievable lyricism Nas came up with in ī94. Ok.

i believe he said that, but i donīt believe him. I wouldnīt force myself to look away if there was serious evidence of Nas not having written his own shit but if Jungle says he did........ne-gro please

that list definately got some things mixed up.

So, Nas made "Unautorized biography of Rakim" and at the end he was saying "Next book: KRS-One." Will he be making a third book about himself?  ;D
