are you on drugs?

hmmm...does Banks deserve to be Top 50 lyricists?....i think niggahs' gettin' confused wat lyrical and ''a hot line'' or punchline is.....Banks hit niggahs' wit the fly lines that catch people....kinda like wayne BUT without the goofyness

BUT lookin' at the list and lookin' at the order Banks coulda definately beat out atleast 10-15 people on this list easy....Period.

com on ..banks doesn dervser that spot bro

the king of monotone the first n**** to fuse jazz with hip hop from his jazzmatazz series and the music he did with premo nevertheless classic word to #30 i think he deserve the 15 spot imo salute to Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal R.I.P. my n****


MAJOR cosign.

i gs i hav to cosign too ...COSIGN
I'll tell you who SHOULDN'T be in that list...Styles P, Jada, Ross, Kim, Prodigy, Bun B, Wayne, Kanye, Scarface, and you can even make the argument of 50. Lyricism is delivery, complexity of rhymes, word play and what not. While the ones I just listed are good rappers and got bars, they're not what I would call lyrical. I mean c'mon, lil Kim is "lyrical"? Hell na. Dudes like Big Pun, Kool G Rap, Busta Rhymes, Big L, Talib, Eminem. Listen to how they rhyme. That's what I consider lyrical.

Ps, Canibus should be a lot higher too.
wtf jada shoudnt of been on that list?? r u trollin bro
true bro kim ain lyrical at all
When did Chuck D become lyrical?

Chuck D(#12) BEEN lyrical...


Public Enemy
