Best Lyricists...

Yeah, I'm not somebody that is going to say that something sucks just because I don't like it, I just don't think it is my style.

 

Andre 3000, Nas, old Tribe called Quest (Q Tip), KRS 1.

Glad to see some Lito fans in here. Lito & Trip are two of my fav's. Been a fan of Lito since Prince of the Ville. Stepbrothers is great, probably my favorite mixtape/album of 2011. Trip just put out a mixtape called Guerilla which has been on replay non stop and Starlito just put out a new album called Mental Warfare which is pretty impressive. Also the dude saying Starlito is a punchline rapper you don't know what you're talking about.

If we're going by straight lyricists though the best I think would be K-Rino and I don't think it's even debatable..he just doesn't always make the best "music" overall, but his lyrics are on a monumental level.

Also A pretty big fan of Hopsin, Kevin Gates, Tech N9ne, T-Rock, Slikk.

 

^Meh. He's on that Canibus type lyricism where he rambles big words and scientific type words, but never really says anything in the process except how great he is. I mean, it's great compared to someone like Lil Wayne. But after that track there, I listen... and once it's over I get nothing from it from the lyrics.

When I think lyracists, I think more... poets that use music.
