Top 10 Best Lyrical Rappers At The Moment

Postby Wreck » Aug 19th, '12, 00:05

Based on the past few months-year/2 years or so, basing off of lyrical ability, wittiness, wordplay, multis, etc.

I say (in no order, except for the # 1 pick):


01. Eminem
02. Fabolous
03. Joe Budden
04. Crooked I
05. Jay-Z
06. Jadakiss
07. Chino XL (very underrated & forgotten about)
08. Chamillionaire
09. Royce Da 5'9
10. Tech N9ne

I might of left a few notable lyrical rappers that have been great the last couple of years, or recently, like Black Hippie, but I feel people forget about guys like Chino XL & Vinnie Paz at the same time, & I feel confident w/ my picks.

I think Lowkey deserves at least a mention.

I agree with Em being number one though. I've yet to listen to someone better than Em in his prime.

Lowkey is not even on the same level as Devlin.

I fuck with name's list. That is if it isn't in exact order, I'd probably choose those people regardless. Maybe through in Joe Budden and Ab-Soul. Possiblely Eminem, that is if he improves drastically in his next features and album. Of this was talking all time I would put him at least in my top ten. However lately, he's just above average despite being entertaining.

This is recent, and recently Eminem has been slightly above average. He's always been entertaining, but so can others. He hasn't been amazing me lately.
