You know what…..Ghostface is dope as fuck! He got the lyrics (and his lyrics are all original content, none of that bitten shit), plus his storytelling skills are among the best if not the best. Go check out that track called “Shakey Dog”, real talk when I heard that track I literally could pcture the whole thing, like I’ve seen it before in a movie….or what about “The Hilton” or “Maxine” I can keep going “Child’s Play”, “Beauty Jackson”, “Colombus Exchange”, “The Watch (this one is sick and so creative)”, “Whip Me with a Strap.” And of course Ghost is able to seamless mesh with pop culture without compromising his underground style and still keep it hood. And another great lyricist is the GZA…..’nuff said. GZA is probably “the greatest” lyricist of all times….get yo dictionaries and thesauruses out. Eminem has an extremely well delivered lyrical content too….some of the words he puts together as punchlines are so unorthodox and rhyme so well its hard to believe no one even mentioned him…..”I’ll shit on you, I’ll spit on you/ start pissin and do the opposite on you/ you wasn’t listenin, I said I’ll cop a squat on you and start spillin my guts like chicken cordon bleu/ and straight shit like Notorious Big did to that bitch on the skit from his last album” ..”…a rat pack in black jackets that pack ten, nine millimeters, five criminals pullin heaters and spillin liters of blood like swimmin pools.”

See I agree with you it’s not the lyrics per say Snoop hardly ever made me rewind, but his flow was the illest you gotta give him that. Maybe I didn’t do that great a job explaining myself that’s the problem with these list what makes a best rapper alive; if your taking impact on Hip-Hop and music in general then my list is pretty solid if it’s only lyrics that you take into account as the criteria of a great rapper then no this list is not even close cause Tupac was never a great lyricist and no neither was Snoop but what they did do is change Hip-Hop leaving a lasting impression great to me is Purely impactful Dan Marino had more QB skillz then anyone who ever threw a football but what Joe Montana did was change how you play QB forever running the west coast offense. So your right no Snoops not the best lyricist, but he’s a pretty important rapper in Hip-Hop history top 5 that’s up to each person’s opinion shit in my opinion lyrically Ghost, or Talib, or Pos from De-La or Murs, Monch, Mos-Def… would murder alot of the cats on peoples list lyrically but hey I guess i just wanted to shine some light on a very under rated artist in music.

i know all those songs by heart.. and i can ASSURE YOU, they are not lyrically as lethal as any great rapper in the game.. ive never heard a snoop record and said, “wow! how did he come up with that??” snoops appeal is his sound and flow.. never his content.

snoop is great, dont get me wrong.. but top 5?? c’mon dude..

He may not have had more commercial influence then Jay or Big but on the Hip hop community Nas’s influence is second to NONE
when nas assassinates a beat its the highest form of art

Nas got that Lyrical crown hands down!!!
aint no one ever coming close to nasty but BIG/Pac and Jay did have a more commercial influence.
Face has to be in the the top ten with rakim, Krs one, eminem, Andre 3000, Jadakiss and Big pun.
