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, 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.
Your position is that all rappers are descendants of slaves? What a preposterous thing to say. Millions and millions of blacks have come to the United States in a multitude of ways that had nothing whatsoever to do with slavery. To suggest otherwise is absurd.
And as for "How did slaves get here?" Well, the first step was their capture and sale by other blacks, often to Somolis or Arabs, and eventually to Europeans. Don’t be glossing over the ugly truth. Slavery is still being practiced today in parts of Africa and the Middle East.

"you know what else sing sing has? A lot of paranoid bigoted white people."

I am not sure about that, but it does have a nice view.

Can I respectfully suggest, as @simao has already done, that we focus on the original topic - who are your preferred lyricists and musicians in rap and hip-hop?
