i dont think he has good lyrics in his songs... good flow and beats but his lyrics are all about getting money, being thug(he went to a private school), and fucking girls. it gets old

how do you think big is a good lyricist when all he raps about is how gangster he is when he never even set foot in a ghetto and how much pussy he gets. literally half his songs are about getting pussy.

Aesop - first and foremost, and immortal technique secondly. I dotn listen to to much rao though, so I couldnt tell you about all the underground prodigies.

No mention of Nas? Dude is on another level.
One of the sickest metaphors ever written:
"My abdomen is the clip, the barrel's my dick,
uncircumcised, pull my skin back and cock me,
i bust off when the unlock me"

Immortal and JMT are both good, both a little one dimensional though
I really like Classified and DL
Talieb Kwali is sick, and old Nas is pretty good to, like one mic, rewind etc those are my pics right now, as sick as biggie is he is all flow not lyrics

Flame me if you want, but I think that kanye has some of the most honest lyrics around.
