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).

"...who are your preferred lyricists and musicians in rap and hip-hop?"
Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan.

"Can I respectfully suggest, as @simao has already done, that we focus on the original topic"
Is it acceptable to respond to simao's posts that have strayed from the original topic?

@glupson -- when mine have, they've been in reaction to someone else's vitriol. I admit in that case I'm no better than the progenitor of that adolescent id. But I don't think I've really posted anywhere live straight so far off the topic as to make the original topic unrecognizable

simao,

Even if you did, it really should not be a big deal.

I was just poking fun on what seemed to be a reaction to my post which was nothing but elongation of yours where neither of them had anything to do with the topic. Still, nice view from Sing Sing.

To reedem myself, and you before me, I offer a little bridge towards the topic...

Hopefully, reading about panic attack, tardiness, and parking ticket will bring some entertainment.

Ah.i get you. And yes, I guess I would have tried to do the same thing had I been in sing sing! 

Although looking at Puzz pachinos track record, I'm not surprised
