Top 10 Best Lyrical Rappers At The Moment

[Accor]

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.

I think Recovery is better than Relapse, though..

If WBD was released by Lil Wayne everyone here would think it was horrible lol.

[Wreck]

^ Exactly.

I personally think the Relapse album is better than Recovery it shows the more darker side of Eminem although Recovery has got some good tunes like Space Bound, WTP, Cold Wind Blows, Not Afraid I think Eminem is too big to be doing songs with Lil Wayne etc no disrespect to Lil Wayne fans

Well said he fucked up my Horrorcore thread also.

Still no response?

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.

To be honest with you I've hardly ever listened to LowKey so its obvious why I think Devlin is better, any examples of his work? Best song?

If you haven't heard much from Lowkey, you shouldn't have said Devlin was a better lyricist.

Here's a few good songs.

I Believe was pretty deep guess he's telling the truth in the lyrics, I looked at more of his songs hes more political aswell isn't he?

Yeah he is. Check out Dear Listener and Soundtrack to the Struggle. Brilliant albums. The latter is more politically orientated.

Lupe
Jay Electronica
Mos Def
Black Thought
Pharoahe Monch

All Those guys are dope although i havent heard much from them to actually formulate an opinion. They probably all DESERVE to be on it but i would be lying if i said i'd listened to enough of their work to say so.

Mine- No order

Eminem
Tech N9ne
Chino Xl (agreed, forgotten. N.I.C.E is the most lyrical song in recent times)
Andre 3000
Kendrick Lamar
Joel Ortiz (had to pick only one from Slaughterhouse)
Lupe Fiasco
Nas (although with the ghostwriting rumors...)
Killer Mike (virtually unknown here)
Lecrare (shameless advertising lol)

[Man1x]

Killer Mike isn't unknown, he's just not discussed.

[Willy]

The Jokerr

[K Reidy]

Slug
Lupe Fiasco
Crooked I
Nas
Dizzy Wright
Macklemore

Well you should start tbh

I have actually. But i never said Lupe was boring Lasers is one of my most played albums coz i love the radio singles. Break the chain is my main work out track

Mos Def i've heard roughly 15 tracks. Talib Kweli probably about 5 (including the recent collabo with Kendrick). I think he is the one who interests me the least though through his lack of energy. He's dope, no question- the BET cypher and N*ggas in Poorest are dope but i would rather hear him on collaborations.

Pharoe Monch - this guy is like the rappers rapper! He came to South Africa recently as he had a show with Jean Grae (who is ILL) but i only knew about it when they left Downloaded W.A.R and i remember it quirked my interest. He's stupid dope.

Jay Electronica- i've already listenned to Untitled Will download the upcoming album though

Black Thought- you know, i am REALLY intruiged by the roots. The have major praise even for their conceptual albums. I've probably heard a couple tracks watching videos on youtube and it was legit (started through looking for a sasha grey cameo- sue me lol)

Problem is, there is SOOO much music that the flip side of trying to listen to more and more and more of it is that you never get to enjoy the music thats good. I try to balance the two- exploration and experience.
