I'm a huge rap fan and have been having some long arguments and discussions about the best rap lyricists of all time. Now me and my friends have yet to agree on a final list but this is how it stands as of now:

Nas
Rakim
Krs-One
Mos-Def
Talib Kweli
Eminem
AZ
MC Guru (Gangstarr)
Jay-Z

Tell me what you guys think and how it should be adjusted.

I thin you should add lil wayne! In my opinoin he is the best! He comes up with everything when its time, dosnet ever write anything! He has one line go right into the next! It sounds good! ANd he is the only lyricist to ever sell 1.3 million albums in ONE WEEK!

I've had a lot of people tell me to put Wayne on the list but I just can't bring myself to do it. All the guys on the list tell stories and have messages in their lyrics. That to me makes them much better than Wayne who raps about poppin like Orville Redenbacher. Also Wayne is almost more of an R&B singer now who sings hooks on other songs using that annoying digital voice.
