Some of the better lyricists and musicians in rap and hiphop?


Going old school, I’ve always admired Chuck D’s powerful voice and his lauded expression and articulation in his delivery. Along those lines, Outkast’s voices and hooks are classic. And Nas’s lyrics are as good as anything ever released in the genre. You combine PE’s Nation of Millions with Nas’ Illmatic and sprinkle in some "Ms. Jackson" and you have the first 20 years of hiphop.


Nowadays Anderson .Paak delivers beautifully, as did Mac Miller (rip).


Please note the topic and add constructively to the conversation.

Millercarbon, it was a crime to teach slaves how to read and write, Some descendants had parents who could not read or write.

Both Democrats and Republicans owned slaves, both Democrats and Republicans belonged to the KKK. What's your point?

Would it doom thris thread if I mentioned Gil Scott-Heron? LOL. Certainly Robert Glasper could be considered an amazing musician who dabbles in the genre.
