I was going to pose this question in Arce/Bill Anvil's thread, but I think it deserved its own GetBig post.
Now, I don't want to talk about background music, nice beats, production values..I just want to talk pure, lyrical ability.
When music, beats, and hype are factored out, the list shrinks considerably.
I'll start:
Rakim
Eminem
Kool Moe Dee (not widely heard of, but rapping ability is awesome).
-
Again Dr Dre #1 and Snoop #2.

Haven't listened to much rap since I got out of my teens, but I always thought DMX was stellar.

Kool G Rap needs to go on the list.
RA, The Rugged Man would get into my top 10 or 15.
Slick Rick would get a place too.

If you know rap, then you know BIG L! He died young but he would have been a star. If someone can find it, there's a radio interview with him and a young jay z rapping on a beat, jay can't keep up at all.

Snoop.....nobody else comes all that close. Dre was good and I know I'm going to get my ass kicked for this but Nicki Minaj.....the woman can fucking rap. Listen to her tune "Blazin". Talented.

We have to define what we are talking about. The total package? Popularity? Lyricist?
If we are judging soley on lyrics, Snoop and Dre are not even close to the best.

What no, Biggie, Pac, Talib Kawe, ??? ???
