yup. as far as just general music goes i understand people having different opinions, but when you say lyricism how can people not see that e40 or fab or whoever was mentioned dont come even close to guys like gab. i dont even think mc zion can touch gab. i think lyrics born and lateef are up there too

You need to clear up what you mean by "lyricist"...cuz as far as a true-form lyricist, practically nobody listed yet is a lyricist, besides Del and Zion I.

Cats like Yuk and 40 can spit and can rhyme, but they aren't really lyricists. It's like calling Lil Wayne the best lyricist out. He's nice with the rhymes but isn't a lyricist.

So I'd say Del or Zion I

SO WHAT IS A LYRICIST TO YOU ? I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ..

BUT NOWADAYS WHEN PEOPLE SAY BEST LYRICIST USSUALY THEY MEAN THE RAPPER WITH THE DOPEST METHAPHORS, SLICKEST WORDPLAY, DOPEST RHYMEPATTERNS, MULTISYLLABLES, DELIVERY, FLOW ETC...

I CANT SEE HOW ANYONE COULD NAME E40.. DUDE HARLDY USES MULTIS AND FLOWS OFFBEAT HALF THE TIME.. DONT GET ME WRONG WE KNOW HE A LEGEND AND A DOPE RAPPER IN HIS OWN WAY BUT TO PUT HIM IN A LIST OF DOPEST LYRICIST JUST SHOWS YOU DONT KNOW WHAT A LYRICIST IS..

THE ONLY 'ESTABLISHED' RAPPERS IN THE BAY THAT ARE LYRICAL OFF THE TOP 0F MY HEAD:
YUK
QUINN
LOCKSMITH
AWAX
YA BOY

HIERO (SOME OF EM)
FAB (WHEN HE WANTS T0)

 

[Gotham City]

SHIT I WOULD SAY LOCKSMITH IS A DOPER LYRICIST THEN PAC.. BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN HE A BETTER RAPPER.. PAC ONE OF THE GREATEST TO ME BUT HE WASNT THAT LYRICAL

You must be fucking kidding me.

 

[HUBCAT.]

You must be fucking kidding me.

PROVE ME WRONG.. LIKE I SAID A LYRICIST TO ME IS MULTIS, WORDPLAY, METAPHORS ETC.

I OBVIOUSLY DONT LIKE LOCKSMITH OVER PAC JUST THINK HE IS A BETTER 'LYRICIST' IF YOU THINK PAC IS THE DOPEST LYRICIST YOU HAVE TO BE A COMPLETE IDIOT.
