so many rap threads thought i'd start another.
who do you guys think is the best rap lyricst of all time?
personally i love nas. for god sakes he wrote Still Dre and that's some people's fav song. a lot of ppl don't know he writes songs for other artists. _________________ SMUSH FOR MVP
i like cube not becuase he just represent the west....
but without him staright out of compton would have been a bust and we wouldnt even hear about WSC.... he truly represents the west in a big way... i even forgave him when he flew the coop to go to NY becuase he hates jerry heller but it just prooved that heller was really a crook becuase Dre followed next
75% of NWA's lyrics (the other 25% credited to MC Ren)
90% of Westside Connection's lyrics.
Eazy-E's solo career lyrics (Boyz in the hood actually was Cube's song, but he gave it to Eazy)
His own solo lyrics (the best ones, real social critscism lyrics) _________________ www.lakersbrasil.com

this is a no brainer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ofcourse its tupac.
and pfft emenim ! that guys lyrics are soo bad makes my head hurt.
all he talks about is his wife,his daughter and his mom.
dont do my boy em like that. all pac talks about is THUG LIFE, and his mom.
everyone has certain topics they go to on the regular basis. you can use that as a reason to knock the guy.
I also like Eminem, but Pac wrote about a whole lot more than thug life and his Mom.
and Eminem also wrote about Stan. which is a classic. people call people STANS instead of overzealous fans now because of that song. no reason to say Fanboy when you can call a guy a Stan.
and pac talked about what else? THUG LIFE. with a hint of black pantherism politics. But it was alwasy about the struggle of the youth in the inner city's usually or anyone else struggling in a similar fasion. like i said. i could careless. i liked it any how.
i dont care if you rap about blue suede shoes for 5 songs straight. if you're that good at it, it wont matter. that's the difference between a legend, and a guy who can put a few rhyming words together.

Yeah, Stan was actually one of my favorite songs by him. Funny that you mention the use of that new term, because the first time I heard somebody use it on a fanboy, I automatically knew where it came from.
As for 2Pac, it wasn't just his lyrics, its how he raps about it, his delivery, he would probably make a hit rapping about blue suede shoes actually
Eminem started nicely but since "The Real Slim Shady" his lyrics sucked... the last good one was Loose Yourself, nowadays I got no respect left for him.
Pac was a lil obsessed with Thug Life and Westside after he got out of prison but b4 that he wrote real deep lyrics.
I still say Ice Cube though. _________________ www.lakersbrasil.com
