the thing that piss me off when they say Pac wasn't lyrical but he had the most powerful lyrics of all time. Just because he wasnt a punchline rapper he was direct and fierce. . No other rapper put that much power and emotion in their lyrics such as Pac. So to me Pac was they greatest lyricist of all time.
He was not lyrical. Y’all don’t know lyrics go listen to fucking Black thought and MF DOOM. Pac was not a lyricist I can’t stand when people say that shit and fucking lie about it.
@@IGE5923 what is the definition of lyrical? You think lyrical is is all about metaphors and punchlines. 2pac lyrics had more impact than any other rapper. Why do you think ppl still talk about Pac more than any other rapper today. You just think using big words is lyrical nah that’s not what lyrical is.
Isn't pac not having punchlines literally the reason he isn't the most lyrical? He doesn't have the punchline, entendres, or slick wordplay as the top rappers, which is why he isn't lyrically the best. He speaks real and poweful things, that's why he's probably the most impactful rapper for not just the genre, but the whole world in general.

@@bodiefulcher4502 This list is based on rappers i listen to the most. I was born in 95 so the game and 50 cent appeal a lot to me. I like GZA but i have a lot of more GZA stuff to listen to before i can put him higher on my list.
Man I don't feel like people give enough credit to big pun Man was a lyrical BEAST. He could hop on any track and murder it with his impeccable rhyme schemes and cadence
Nas, Pac and Eminem. Three best to ever do it for me personally. Still get goosebumps listening to Pac. I just feel him. His music is universal and soulful. 4 and 5 is up for debate. Depends on the era and their peak. I am an Ice Cube guy. Busta, Rakim, Biggie, Jay Z and others are all in the conversation.

Of course they're "doing it on purpose", that is the point isn't. They also left out Run DMC. Why? bc THEY ARE NOT IN THEY'RE TOP 5 EITHER. Its they're top 5, not your top 5.
@@ReJayJJ Yeah love Cannibus. I hear where ur coming from but the subject is "favorite rappers" not necessarily best to ever do it, who's best type shit. But their favorite maybe to listen to and draw inspiration from. One guy said Juvenile?? Now that's got to be a artist he just likes listening to, as opposed to one of the greatest mc right?. All I'm trying to say is I think Em is one of the greats but I dont listen to his music in my car like that. His new shit might be car ride worthy but it's not surprising to me that many of the older Black ppl I know ain't bumping down the street with Em on. Now if we were talking about the best lyricist- then yeah Em would be mention in the top 5 more by these artists. But I get where ur coming from no doubt.
@@sherrythompson9338 yeah but when em talks about motivation and pain his cleverness not only paints a picture but makes you feel it too. He doesn't talk about shooting people a lot instead he creatively writes a song as a double entendre tying up the Vegas shooting with his concert performance. That's what everybody's gotta hear
@@a-don13 well most blacks are from the streets and are more infatuated with things that happens on the streets and ain't nothing magical about it like Wayne said in the song hey this CASHMONEY Records and it's a lawless game, forgett all my dreams somebody gone die tonight and that's where he comes from and his surroundings of how things go down.
i dont care about how good someone can play with the words or double or triple time rap for me its all about does this artist touch me or nah .. and growin up there was no one that touched me and accompanied me more through my hard times than 2pac .. so he will forever be my number one .

Changes day to day but today...
Redman, Andre, Busta, ODB, B Real
Jada said it best. Changes from day to day, more of an awesome conversation starter than a definitive list.
Top groundbreakers, top flow, top original, top skill, top songmakers, top freestylers, top battlers, etc. etc. etc.
50 Cent, lil wayne (the carter albums) eminem, Dmx and ice cube🤙
1. Black Thought
2. Common
3. Talib Kweli
4. Styles P
5. Nas
Based on consistency & longevity as well as artistic growth Lyricism overall representation of the culture and overall quality of discography. Gotta have at least 10 albums to be considered for an all time list!!
That's a good list. Not mine but still a respectful list.
You put Common Sense over Nas dude you crazy
Bro it's time to get sober.
I respect this list. But Nas is on top of those other guys. From your list, I would say..
Nas
Common
Black Thought
Styles P
Talib Kweli
Kendrick's solidified himself with much less albums
Mine.
1. Em
2. Inspectah Deck
3. Royce Da 59
4. Nas

It is good putting Deck on this list. He is so overlooked compared to other Wu members but his verses were the hardest.
@@barrettlovett2238 i agree hes absolutely my favorite! check out Czarface if you never heard it. its Deck, 7L and Esoteric from army of the pharaohs. They have have some really good albums.
Blayke Becher em as one lol you must be white
Deck is so underrated. He is one of the Wu's gems
Monte David 🤣😂
Personal top 5, was pretty hard to put the last 3 to be honest. So many great rappers to choose from.
1. MF DOOM
2. Eminem
3. Biggie
4. Ice Cube
5. Method Man
Fire 5
Good 5
I’m glad someone recognizes doom
anyone who leaves Eminem out of the conversation he is doing it in purpose
Of course they're "doing it on purpose", that is the point isn't. They also left out Run DMC. Why? bc THEY ARE NOT IN THEY'RE TOP 5 EITHER. Its they're top 5, not your top 5.
@@ReJayJJ Yeah love Cannibus. I hear where ur coming from but the subject is "favorite rappers" not necessarily best to ever do it, who's best type shit. But their favorite maybe to listen to and draw inspiration from. One guy said Juvenile?? Now that's got to be a artist he just likes listening to, as opposed to one of the greatest mc right?. All I'm trying to say is I think Em is one of the greats but I dont listen to his music in my car like that. His new shit might be car ride worthy but it's not surprising to me that many of the older Black ppl I know ain't bumping down the street with Em on. Now if we were talking about the best lyricist- then yeah Em would be mention in the top 5 more by these artists. But I get where ur coming from no doubt.
@Mike oh yeah! you know better than all that legendary rappers that put him in their top 5 or put him as the best of all time?
@Mike Eminem puts himself on 3 in the song ‘Evil Twin’
Till I Collapse had a list from Em as well.
Who remember Keith Murray from new york he's a good lyricist
I remember him from some redman tracks and shoutouts
I remember and still listen it in 2020 from France
Remember? He's underrated!

If Pac isn't in your top five your list is a joke especially when you put yourself at number one
Words of Wizdom you understand that not everyone listens to PAC right?
I hate when everyone expects 2pac to be in their list. Even Biggie too
That's his opinion bro!
There have been Thousands of MC'S. If u expect people to like those that u like then u will be disappointed.

He's more creative than any other rapper ever for sure.
@@sherrythompson9338 em more creative but you're right
@@a-don13 yeah but Wayne speak more on what you want to hear or familiar with as far as the streets go back to the song I'm Me .
@@sherrythompson9338 yeah but when em talks about motivation and pain his cleverness not only paints a picture but makes you feel it too. He doesn't talk about shooting people a lot instead he creatively writes a song as a double entendre tying up the Vegas shooting with his concert performance. That's what everybody's gotta hear
@@a-don13 well most blacks are from the streets and are more infatuated with things that happens on the streets and ain't nothing magical about it like Wayne said in the song hey this CASHMONEY Records and it's a lawless game, forgett all my dreams somebody gone die tonight and that's where he comes from and his surroundings of how things go down.
When you find Nas in almost every top five... That's the greatest MC there
Lol then u havent heard of pac he would demolish NaS
