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.

Why was the Republican Party founded? To end slavery. By the time of the Civil War not a single republican owned a slave. Who actually ended slavery? Republican president Abraham Lincoln. Hillary Clinton, who was her greatest role model? Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, former Grand Dragon in the KKK. 

Let's go more recent. Which president made stopping human trafficking a priority? Republican Donald Trump. Who opened the border creating a huge financial incentive for it to return? Democrat Joe Biden.

Don't bring this stuff up, make your one uninformed comment and then say that's far enough. I never start these things. It is always SJW snowflakes so incapable of actual virtue all they can do is wave their virtue signals. Well fine, but if you do that maybe you need to learn your warped world view really is pathetic and warped. I mean, a freaking KKK Grand Dragon, served his whole life a democrat, and you have the gall.... beyond the pale.
