I really do hate making lists Always forget someone Ice Cube is that someone. Anyways I'd rather just name all the dope rappers instead of ranking them, which I wont do now because I don't feel like it.

THIS IS COMPLETELY BASED OFF LYRICAL ABILITY, NOTHING MORE(of course, my opinion): 1. Eminem 2. Lupe 3. Rakim 4. Big L 5. Big Pun 6. Nas 7. Jay-Z 8. Mos Def 9. Kanye West 10. KRS-One Honestly, Jay-Z is my favorite rapper, but when I put my bias thinking aside and only judged based on lyrics(not "legend" status or record sales etc.) this is what I thought was a pretty good list.

lol @ mentioning jane n Finch. I got love for Jane strip, SSJS and the whole Grand Ravine block. Don't even bother tryna threat people on here either idiot. I have preached and preached again, your discussion tactics are juvenile and idiotic. Either you smarten the fuck up and get back the respect of people to even read your shit, or keep talking non sense and be subject to labelling and ignored.

leave him alone before he uses his great 17 year old wisdom. He's traveled around the world, and lives in the biggest ghetto in Europe you know.

When I pull from personal opinion rather than massive appeal, I don't count things like, length in the industry or amount of success, with that said, the list is comprised of lyrics I hear and FEEL, not just take a fancy to poetically, rhythmically, or aesthetically. If I don't feel you, I ain't listenin. 1. P.O.S. - Realest I've ever heard, ridiculous 2. Lupe - Too sick for words 3. Lauryn - Educational and I don't mean that as a pun 4. Royce Da 5' 9" - He says things as I think 'em, it's crazy 5. Eminem - Lyrically untouchable 6. Mike Shinoda - Not overly skilled but more than makes up for it with visceral lyrics 7. Jay-Z - Constantly breaking standards, only reason I keep listening to the radio 8. Kid CuDi - Talk about a breath of fresh air 9. Pharoah Monch - He says things that I gotta rewind twice to understand 10. Mat Kearney - Never heard poem to song any better Yes, Mat Kearney, I call poem to sound rap and that's what he did, and it was great. And if general hip-hop was on instead just lyricists, I'd prolly have Missy, Kanye, Dre and/or Pharrell on here but I respect their work as producer's more than rappers. And mind you, this list'll prolly change (not drastically) in a week or so, as it should be since this music thing is an (r)evolutionary process.

Yeah it is quality but she didn't hang out that long, she never got a chance to reach her full potential I think she could of topped The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill if she did.

Yeaahh, lack of material but it's not quantity it's quality right? errr.. haha... tbh I was sick of all these males, the feminist side of me coming out ahaha, mad biased in other words. But I do have so much respect for her and badu as well. :)

I was gonna say Lauryn but she didn't make enough material. I still love her though, her and Erakah Badu are my favorite female artists.

Nas Black Thought Jay-Z Rakim Scarface Common Mos Def Ghostface Killah And throw Biggie and Pac in there even though the two are overrated as hell, Pac wouldn't be if he didn't switch his style up though. And I can't put Eminem in because of how overrated he has become now, plus I never thought he was that great anyways.
