1. Black Thought
2. Common
3. Nas
4. Pharoahe Monch
5. Kanye West
I dont understand how someone can have a list with Mos Def, Common at the top, and then 50 cent right after...wow.
I like Papoose, but im not going to say hes the BEST rapper alive lyrically. And I definitely wouldnt put Cassidy, Chamillionaire or Fabolous on that list.
And I would've put Eminem on my list, but his new stuff is horrible. After he dropped Encore his lyrics came stubbling down.

Lyrically speaking giving the props to anyone else but Jay-Z would be a lie. I have to give it to DMX too, not on his commercial ****, but the gems that you find on the unknown tracks on It's Dark and Hell is Hot! But as far as just listening to, I am feeling Young Buck, and I will always love me some 50 Cent! But Tupac is crushing everyone! I mean seriously did your list really include Cassidy, Nas, and Fabolous?! I mean don't get me wrong I love me some Fab, in fact You Make Me Better is my flight, but he is not a lyricist! And Nas gets embarrassed in every battle, and being a die hard Jigga fan (Hov 4 Life!), I really can't give him any props, but he does have the most talent from your list. I like Cham too, but he has in no way achieved greatness, he is just starting out, and only time will tell!
