Cuz Wayne spits way better than Banks. Banks is the only dude I like from G-unit though.How anybody can put Lil Wayne on a top Lyricists list and not have somebody like Lloyd Banks on it is beyond me.
Cuase he doesnt even spit the same number of punchlines anymore and they arent as creative as before. Hes not even shining that much on tracks like before. Wayne is nice, he said "You like 44, I got a 44, I'm 24, Icould murc you and come home when I'm 44"IHow anybody can put Lil Wayne on a top Lyricists list and not have somebody like Lloyd Banks on it is beyond me.
Em hasnt dropped anything (mixtape, album) since the greatest hits like 2 years ago and that was a greatest hits with like 1 new song. Till he comes out with a mixtape with new songs or the album drops, he's not current in my book.I'm not denying Cassidy is nasty as hell. To me Eminem is still current since King Mathers is dropping in October.
I can dig that. Have you heard Black Juice? I'm not sure if that is new or not.Cuase he doesnt even spit the same number of punchlines anymore and they arent as creative as before.

This is a nice list. Id also add Nas as he is a very good lyricist. Probably Kanye as well.Lupe Fiasco, Common, Mos Def, The Roots, Dilated People, Slum Village, Little Brother, Talib Kweli.
Fukk gangsta rap lol.
^^^ lupe and talib would eat any "gangsta" out there. They are both so good, you can feel their albums 3+ years after they drop. I still jam to talibs beautiful struggle all the time, good album
"gangsta" gets old quick, you can only rap about rims, hoes and weed for so long. I enjoy listening to music you sit back and be like "hes talking about some REAL ****.." and still kill tracks
I dont know how real it is to rap about "lollipops" and "candy shops" LMAO to anyone that spent 15 dollars to hear that garbage
I agree 100% with all of this.This is a nice list. Id also add Nas as he is a very good lyricist. Probably Kanye as well.

2. Jay-Z
3. Lil Wayne
4. Luda
5. Beanie Siegel
6. Fabo
7. Nas
8. Juelz
9. Jada

EDIT: Obie Trice has to be somewhere on my list.
Man I could switch these up on a dime, and I'm forgetting some for sure. Cassidy is solid on the mixtapes, and that first album was aiight. I just can't put him with these guys right now.
