Hasbin, your lack of love for Talib and Mos Def makes me cry tears of blood (and HATE).

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..

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.

Biggie by far for me. Tupac a second, Dr. dre probably a third. I care more about the finished product than if someone can write poetry.

I think a lot of chamillionaire's mixtape messiah series is pretty amazing too.
