-
i choose Kurupt but the older Kurupt !!
-
Defari
-
Evidence, and Ras Kass from that list.
The Game as lyricists?!
WTF?!
-
pteradactyl factual actual smashin blastin super action radioactive megatron megazord power ranger danger stranger......definitely kurupt...
-
No Del or the rest of Hieroglyphics?
Anyway iam gonna vote for Raskass, crooked i, chino xl, Kurupt, 5th choice is hard cos some of those guys i've heard only very little of. I been impressed with some locksmith stuff i seen on you tube but i slept really.
You prolly could've even added bad Azz, Planet Asia, Xzibit, etc.
Was a toss up between locksmith and Kendrick, went locksmith in the end but prolly more so cos delivery Kendrick got good lyrics.
-
yea, i forgot to add some names.
Planet Asia, Saafir, Casual, and Del. my bad.. :-\
yes, The Game is still a lyricist to me
and i included Kurupt, cuz his legend deserves it
i dont look at Bad Azz as a lyricist. more like a philosopher, and hes usually only rappin about what he thinks is "right" or "not".
same thing wit Brother Kam.
people might have different opinions on that, but if i add em, might as well add 2Pac too..
the list is for MC's, hiphop shit
-
I'll take mid 90's Kurupt over any other lyricist these days...Mc Ren was always underrated to me even though his subject matter is questionable
-
Where da fuck is Yukmouth, The Jacka, Planet Asia?
-
Murs?
-
where is Julius Luciano from the Horseshoe Gang?????
-
The Game is a lyricist, hate it or not. i'm not a huge fan of the guy, and content wise his music ain't particularly deep but you gotta acknowledge his writing skills. he has some very nice rhyme schemes, play on words, puns and stuff... even his namedropping obsession can sound nice...
it's a shame not to have included Ice Cube though... dude is one of the most proficient songwriters and he is a dope lyricist.
San Quinn deserves to be on that list too.
I like Hitman from RBL (R.I.P.) & Young Ed from San Fran, his catalogue is not humongous but he dropped a few gems in the mid 90's

Tray Deee was a potent lyricist too, very dope rhymeschemes
-
Where da fuck is Yukmouth, The Jacka, Planet Asia?
I thought about Yuk too but, and dont get me wrong iam a huge fan, but he mostly raps about bling/flossin/ice/drank/clubs/money/hoes/etc these days. But dude a legend and a beast for sure. I just feel for several albums in a row it was all brag and floss. But dude has a great catalog and i really liked that "tonight show".
Oh and i think The Game is definitely lyrical, despite the name dropping.
yeah well i really like RBX but bad Azz way more lyrical but thats just my opinion i guess.
Pitty pharcyde vanished.
-
yea,
i wanted to add Yukmouth, but dude comes off as more thuggish to me. hes got great punchlines, but he didnt make the cut. (but then again, i did add Jayo Felony)
not too familair wit Jacka and Mob Figaz like that tho
- its my list, not meant to be oppositionaly definitive (even tho i think its a pretty good list), so dont be surprised if u cant find everyone on there.
but some dudes were left off, which i regret now. like --> Causal, Del, Saafir, Planet Asia, Phil Tha Agony, Sick Jacken, Sly Boogy and maybe San Quinn
Ice Cube? hes an og, but not lyrical enuff on the hiphop-tip to me
oh, and the thing wit RBX - if u listen to his solo-shit, then he really shines wit the rhymes, specially these days (hes on some other shit when hes rappin wit Dogg Pound)
i dont take overall rappin style and/or song-writing into consideration --> only rhymes, punchlines and lyrics, but subject-matter always has to be on some mc-shit, (wit exceptions like Kurupt, the game, crooked and jayo etc)
-
no Cube=no dice
in his prime possibly the best lyricist ever on the Coast.
No Saafir, Casual, Del? Yuk is a top knotch spitter as well
But RBX? hell Im a fan but he is one of the biggest recyclers of phrases in the game.
-

sly boogy
kendrick lamar

-
no Cube=no dice
in his prime possibly the best lyricist ever on the Coast.
:)
all due respect to Mr. Cube, but
hes a political slash gangsta rapper,
Snoop is a better lyricist than him.
link me one song wit some really nice rhymes, when hes on some off-the-wall mc type of shit..
please, ill wait ("no vaseline" doesnt count)
The D.O.C. is the only guy from N.W.A. who knew how to really rap n write rhymes IMO
yes, The Game is still a lyricist to me
still?!?!
he never was.
???
of course he is,
why is he not a lyricist to u?
-
cause he just repeat nwa, dre, eazy, snoop etc...
-
cause he just repeat nwa, dre, eazy, snoop etc...
