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).

MC Solaar - Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo (1991) Tremendous verbal dexterity.

You guys are nothing if not persistent. However notice every single time actual rap lyrics are posted someone complains and they are removed because they are RACIST, PROFANE, and MISOGYNIST!

The one exception was one that was in FRENCH! But even that one, if anyone bothered to figure it out, the woman went with an abuser of women because she was a masochist. So like I said, MISOGYNIST!

Carry on fellas, in your little echo chamber, but do it without me. The mods should remove this one JUST LIKE THE OTHERS which exist for no reason other than to gaslight people into thinking the most PROFANE, RACIST and MISOGYNIST music ever is actually really just all fine and dandy.

It ain’t. You admire it, you ain’t either. That simple.

Yes! My former wife introduced me to MC Solaar. She was a French teacher and thus could understand his lyrics. I could not, but his music and delivery really hooked me.

Millercarbon, where did those "Rappers" come from; did you walk out your door one day and it was raining "Rappers".

No, they are descendants of slaves. How did slaves get here? That's far enough for now.
