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.

The great majority of Rap is inherently political. It is hard to avoid.
Clear why these threads about Rap engender such overtly political comments. It is unfortunate that we on this Forum cannot have a civilized discussion about the elements of Rap good and bad.
I believe that we can all agree that Music is central to our hobby and close to out hearts. And that Rap, regardless of personal preference, is a genre of recorded sound that many greatly enjoy and even cherish. Life is too short to waste on negativity and criticism.
