Top 10 Best Lyrical Rappers At The Moment

[Innovation]

Lowkey is not even on the same level as Devlin.

Are you serious?

Community Outcast, Runaway, Watchtower with Ed Sheeran? underated songs filled with emotion and real life listen and you will know LowKey is overated.

All because an artist is being "emotional", it does NOT mean they're being lyrical.

I'm a big fan of Devlin, but to say he's better lyrically than Lowkey is ridiculous.

I don't care if he has a fucking habit, I'm basing my judgement off his music. I'm not going to make him a special case because you want me to.

Seen your posts before i registred because Eminem clearly is a far better artist than anyone you like and achieved so much more you clearly try to under mine him. I saw a post yesterday where someone said you only troll cos all the good hardcore Eminem fans don't post on here anymore have to say that person seems right.

[2GunzUp]

Just be grateful you allowed to troll and hate on Eminem. Yet when he out sells ya fave Rapper and gets so much love we know how it makes you feel deep down

[rapaddict92]

good list i'd just remove jay z add joell ortiz and i would put it in different order (royce should 2nd if your talking just lyrical skill)

edit: wait Chamillionaire?! nah i'd remove him also

[Wreck]

Recovery had a ton of punches & wordplay, people wanna hate on his lyrical ability based on the pop singles like Love The Way You Lie, are not focusing on the other shit that is lyrical. Go back & read the lyrics.

& Tech N9ne is debatable. Why do you think so many people wanna work with him?

This list isn't horrible, just some of you don't know what real fucking hip hop is, pardon my french. Chino XL, listen to 5/6 of his songs, yeah they may not be melodic, but that's not what hip hop represents as a whole.

& rap addict, it isn't in any particular order, except for Eminem's spot.

Shut the fuck up.

OT: Pretty much agree with Names list other than the order and would probably switch Common with Joe Budden tbh.

Define bad, in this instance. Bad, as in corny, or bad as in horribly executed. I think they were pretty crafty, a lot of them went over my head at the first listen, or couple of listens.

[Man1x]

Agreed, Recovery got a bad rap. But my choice was based off what he's done in 2011-2012. The EP is good, but some features are just okay and not what I expect. And no, I don't need a speech from anyone on how he didn't choose the topics for his features.

Bad as in bad. Poorly written, try hardish, not witty, etc. I could list a bunch but all you have to do is listen to WBD lol.

@Accor, don't double post.

YOLO

[Man1x]

Fuck YOLO, I want YOLA.

[Wreck]

WBD is dope, I disagree there. I think people just love to hate on the album, & praise Relapse, when Relapse wasn't that great of an album. It had some great songs, & I'm not saying Recovery was better, but damn, the favoritism is crazy here sometimes regarding Relapse/Recovery comparisons, & the overabundance of the Relapse praise as well.

& I agree, Lloyd Banks is dope. He's hovering around the Top 10, if not already in.
