blue scholars (Geo is the MC)
DL incognito
2pac (sometimes)
common market
JMT
Jurassic 5
Matisyahu is really good if you look at his lyrics, let alone he's just dope

aren't that many rappers with really good lyrics. If you want good lyricism listen to slam poetry, that shit's awesome.

buddy how are u trying to argue against biggie, the dude speaks from experience he lived that life retard, he dealed drugs, he experienced life on the corners, he is an impeccable storyteller, with ridiculous flow, if u listen to the stuff he made when he was alive you cant get a real picture of biggie from that duets bullshit. listen to ready to die, u need to get schooled before you try to call out one of the greatest of all time.

anyway id definitely say Nas, GZA, Raekwon, Big L, Murs, there are so many really good lyricists its hard to pick out the good ones but i would def say Nas and GZA are in a class of their own

i really like jay-z.

its hard to say cause on the one hand some mainstream rappers come up with some very good lines, but its all pseudo-macho bullshit.

non mainstream rappers come up with some good lines, but with shitty beats or they just seem too targeted towards black people.  I am white.  the only way I can relate to rappers is about hos and blunts.

If you're gonna claim it here, you gotta drop some evidence to support your claim. Top of my list is Eminem:

Music is like magic there's a certain feeling you get when you're real
and you spit and people are feeling your shit.
This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it
cause you may never get it again.
So while you're in it try to get as much shit as you can
and when your run is over just admit when its at its end.
Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half this shit that gets in.
I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outcast, Jada, Kurupt,
Nas and then me. But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy,
so when I'm not put on this list the shit does not offend me.
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fuckin' problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect you've got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney.

Also on the list (no particular order): Aesop, Andre, Typical Cats, MC Paul Barman (just for shits and giggles)

total noob....

anyway my favorites are talib kweli and del the funkee homosapien.  they own.  i agree with a lot of the others that have been said (nas, aesop, etc.) but talib and del are just crazy. 

i also really like lupe fiasco's flow.  he's pretty sick.

I would definitely have to say Sage Francis. The way he flows and tells a story is unbeatable even by Aesop. I like Aesop better as an artist, but Sage definitely takes advantage of most words in the English language.

Your right, Wu-Tang sucks. Let's look at Inspectah Deck's terrible verse on "Ain't Nothin to Fuck With" to prove their shittyness:

" I puts the needle to the groove, I gets rude
And I'm forced to fuck it up
My style carries like a pickup truck
Across the clear blue yonder, sea to shining sea
I slam tracks like quarterbacks sacks from LT
Now why try and test the rebel INS?
Blessed since the birth, I earth-slam your vest
I bakes the cake, then take the cake and eat it too
With my crew, while we head state to state"

I guess they really are terrible. But back on topic,who are the 5 best rappers of all time?
1. Dylan
2. Dylan
3. Dylan
4. Dylan
5. Dylan

I didn't read the thread, because I don't really listen to rap.  However, I'm in love with Del tha funkee homosapien.  He is amazing in Deltron 3030 (thanks to my friend Dan the automator) as well as on his own.  Just plain enjoyable to listen to.

fuck man how uninformed are some of you? you think biggie and tupac are the best lyracists?
something like:
PERCEE P   -(above the rest)
IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE
VINNIE PAZ (JEDI MIND)
ATMOSPHERE
ABDOMINAL
PROMOE (LOOPTROOP)

and thats without touching on uk hiphop.
