disagree mate, i think biggie has to be in the top 20 best lyricist ever, good story telling, nice word play, metaphors, puchlines etc

greatest imo are, big l, bigpun, canibus, black thought, talib kweli, nas, az, rakim(greatest imo), krs one, kool g rap, gza, ghostface killah, mos def, immortal technique, r.a the rugged man, scarface, eminem(first2 albums), bigge, big daddy kane, tupac

i think they are all better than jay

legend R.I.P ODB

imo the maddest rapper ever, the wu tang members tell some mad storys about dirt mcgirt
unusual flow but in a great way
The wu are the greatest hiphop group of all time imo

did you ever see ODB going to collect his welfare check in a limo? he really was mental, not the worlds most talented rapper but had a great voice

they were never gona top 36chambers, they still have other really solid albums like the w, lots of the solo albums from wu members are classics like gza-liquad swords, raekwon-only bulit for cuban linx, ghostface-ironman
in all them albums lots of the tracks have other wu members in them

didnt see that ODB vid, but i watched on tour storys with the wu and there was some great storys about ODB

im not the biggest fan of meth solo work, still some solid stuff, blackout 2 with redman was great, but blackout 2 is terrible imo
out of all the wu solo albums i think liqud swords by gza is the best, hes a beast lyrical and a very under rated mc

whats everyones top 5 mc list
heres mine

1. Rakim
2. Nas
3. Big L
4. Black Thought
5. Big Pun
