I like Mos Def's flow style, but to hoist him up as one of the best lyricists of all time is flirting with hyperbole. Surely he is the better of the two in Blackstar..

..this is a discussion of skill? Or popularity contest? Mos Def would win the latter..

Hard question but honorable mention that needs to be made in a thread like this; Eric B & lyrical genius Rakim.

I guess this is considered rap...but I could listen to Cee Lo's "Fuck You" all day long. The music is so awesome and some of the lines (especially the back up singers) just have me rollin'.

I picture the fool that falls in love with you
(oh shit she's a gold digger)
Well
(just thought you should know *****)
Ooooooh
I've got some news for you
i really hate yo ass right now

I love that song!

The rest of the posts in this thread get super poser right away. I'm waiting for someone to talk about what a genius Joseph Saddler is or some stupid shit like that as they try to be old school, but really that fucking song is tedious as hell. If I'm going to listen to someone from Barbados, I'd much rather hear Rihanna singing "Pon de Replay."

Look up Aesop Rock and Sage Francis. Try Escape Artist by Sage, and Flash Flood by Aesop.

Just because it's rap, doesn't mean it has to be unintelligent.

I more or less dislike all rap / hip hop, I always say if I go to a concert and don't see people playing instruments , its not music, there are a few exceptions on a handful of rap and or hip hop songs I enjoy but its very far and few between.

that being said, there is one hip hop(ish) act that I actually love, and own all of their CDs and for some reason just cant get enough of, its also going to be a really unpopular opinion I am sure
