I also really enjoy lupe in "little weapon" and "day dreamin"

[netsgiantsyanks]

a list without pharoahe monch frankly isn't a complete list.

One of those name really doesn't belong.

lol I'm assuming Hopsin. He is kind of inconsistent, but his best stuff is really good lyrically so that's why I included him.

Cory Gunz? I'm not a fan of his. Joell Ortiz used to be a good example, but he's fallen off recently as far as lyricism is concerned. Ludacris isn't really in the elite class of rap lyricists, and I'm not too sure about Raekwon or Big Boi (OutKast) either. Those guys have always been decent to good, but I've never viewed them among the best lyricists.

And I've never listened to Jon Connor, so some examples would be nice there.

I think Big Boi most definitely deserves to be mentioned.

I might be too much of an Andre 3K dickrider to have noticed how good Big Boi was honestly lol

Any of you guys hear a Lil Wayne punchline before?

I like the Til I Collapse remix, gonna keep looking into him.

[Buckwheat]

He has an entire mixtape over Eminem beats. It's pretty cool.
