Who is Your Favorite Lyrisit *Rap*

[ProdigyK]

Mine would be Mos Def or Rakim

[piggyman18]

Although the title of your post makes no sense, I think I can figure out what your trying to say. Personally I think Eminem has the best, or most poetic, lyrics of any rapper.

[Mount_Happy]

Dr. Dre has always been my favourite rapper, though i despise most of the genre except for a select few.

[The Dude 293]

My vote would have to go to Slug, He's by far one of the most gifted Mc's with an awesome writing style.

[BigSyke5277]

2pac, hands down

[gayass]

Sage Francis

go cheque out some of his stuff if you're into some good hip hop

[m4sh3d]

eminem is quite cool, cypress hill just ownz, but im more into stuff like phychadelic(sp) trance, infected mushroom stuff like that

[Stupified]

Well, I don't listen to rap nor the lyrics. So I'll go with the only rappers i can tolerate and say either Eazy-E or Bizzy Bone.

[The Wat Now]

Eminem got to be.

[The Imperial M]

eminem (his wordplay is like no other)
immortal technique (super deep)
dmx (the realest street rapper ever)
rakim (grandfather of todays lyrical styles)
nas (best storyteller)

[Sucrose]

I dont like rap, but the stuff I have heard that I like came from
Del tha Funkee Homosapian
Eminem
Tupac
Immortal Technique

[edub7383]

How has this not been said

LIL JON of couse

YEAH
WHAT
OK

:p

[Incoheria]

Lyrics wise Canibus is definitely the best rapper out right now. Cant wait for his new CD's coming out.

[Ray]

Mine would have to be:

Ludacris: His lyrics are just so catchy and has the best accent ever.

and....

Mos Def: Strong meaning to all of his lyrics

omg!! i havnt heard that one before!! whoa! you got mad humor skillz. :icon_rofl

[Baneofevil3]

I wasn't trying to be funny. I was simply stating that I think rap does not qualify as music in question form.

im no rap lovin person, but im preeeeetty sure it qualifies as music.

[Baneofevil3]

Well, I suppose it depends on your definition of music.

To me, music is anything with a melody, beat, and if there are vocals, at least 3/4 of them has to be singing.

Most rap has the beat, and occasionally the melody, but I don't enjoy listening to people talk quickly, even if they are rhyming. It's the same with screaming in music. I don't generally like heavy metal because a lot of it is growling or screaming.

[gog2rino]

I would have to say Mos Def, Talib Kweli, or Common. All three of them are fantastic storytellers, insanely good rhymers, and incredibly deep. Without a doubt three of the best MCs ever.

[mx6driven]

I'd say it'd have to be Talib Kweli and Obie Trice

[Kenyan]

Tupac Shakur :bang:

(not rap: John Lennon owns all ya asses!)

[MrDeliquent85]

Well, I suppose it depends on your definition of music.

Yes, you would be right.

Atleast be honest and just say you dont like it. The metal music that you talk of, I think is totally shit. But I still think its music. Opinion counts for about 99% of you argument.

Eminem is a close second to Tupac.

[R3D]

Heyy i joined this forum just for this section, and i love Rap music its all i listen to, and my fav lyricst has obvs have to be Tupac.

[Candyshop]

my favorite rapper

Tupac


and these ones are also good

Eminem
Doc Dre.


hey is anyone getting Bizarre's first CD on june 28? bizarre is by far the funniest rapper of all time.

[Incoheria]

Why the FUCK did you come in here? Can we ever just have a thread for FANS OF RAP without someone coming in and ruining it? If you dont like rap, dont come in the thread made specifically for fans. There have been plenty or rap discussion threads, with plenty of bashing. This isnt one of those threads.

[MegaSuperdude]

Tupac, Nas and Eminem are defnitely the best mainstream, but there are probably better ones that just havent made it big. Maybe.

[pacaveli]

red and meth
Nas
TUPAC!!!!
immortal technique
Obie trice
Tech N9ne

[yo mammas pimp]

Trynna jump behind technicalities an' shit. Rap has soul rap has emotion rap iz a form of self reflexion ya dig? Rap = da shit.

[Dual]

Tupac, Eminem, Nas, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, k-os, Immortal Technique, Kanye West (when he's not rhyming words with the same word), Common, and a bunch of others I forgot.

[Ashhhhhh]

canibus can

[PsiRedEye22]

Gwen Stefani.

Yeah, I'm considering her gangsta enough to win this award. Just look at her watch. Gold.

[reznick]

Wow in 3 pages only 2 people said common? You guys are sleeping on the best writer in rap.

[Incoheria]

but since then, i've discovered Royce Da 5'9, and to me, he is the best. get his malcolm X track and judge for yourselves.

Agreed, royce is great. Death is Certain is a classic CD.
