lol @ people debating album sales. Most all these rappers mentioned are whack as hell (50, kayne, nas, em) or at best had a good album or two then turned whack. selling a million records doesn't mean they are lyrically great rappers it just means a million people are ****** as fuck.

The fact that you think nas and em are whack tells me you are an idiot. Who do you think is good?

None of the guys you mentioned were better lyricists to me. Pac was the most complete artist, very, very versatile. He could do it all. More than half the artists on your list are VERY one-dimensional. Meaning they only skilled at doing a specific style of song.

The one guy on your list that could be argued as better is NaS. He's the only one in that entire list that had the same versatility as Pac. He could do it all, and do it all with success like Pac. That's the only argument I can't really argue with even though I think Pac is still above NaS. But I can totally understand anyone putting NaS above.

Come on man. Each to their own but Pac is way overrated due to him being dead. I don't think Pac was that versatile tbh, he never dropped anything that lyrically impressive to me. But even if he was versatile so what, I prefer a master than a jack of all trades myself. Also, how can it not be argued that Rakim is better than Tupac? I think its the other way round myself. BTW you mention Tupac's versatility, but can you imagine him dropping the fire that big l did - I don't think so.

You my friend fail. Pac is not overrated at all. He was just as popular even before he died. He talked about real ****, and had passion like no other rappes out there. You can't mimic what Pac was about, or how he rapped. He was the truth. RIP Big L as well. But honestly, he can't see Pac. Pac is the GOAT to me. It's about lyrical content.

Floyd tweeted this




which i'm sure pissed 50 off (He had beef with Maybach music and was involved ina fight recently).

Upon seeing 50's Gamboa tweets. Floyd retweed a Rick Ross tweet. Floyd hasn't full on replied but he's subtly dissing 50 by allying himself with 50's enemies

That's funny since rick ross made a song saying mayweather was a ****

Again, more than half the guys you listed are VERY one dimensional. You talk about lyricism, well, the best lyricists can do it all with success. It is actually easier to be a one dimensional rapper.

I don't think Rakim was better, didn't have the same versatility in songwriting. He didn't do it all, and do it all with success. Guys like Big Daddy Kane, Biggie, LL Cool J, etc, were all more versatile than Rakim. It's just that when it comes to doing Rakim's main style, no one was above him. And he pioneered the flow.

Big L was nice. Towards the end of his life he was becoming way more versatile. Was starting to bridge the gap, being successful at commercial records that would bump at a party and underground street stuff. He was even getting a little bit more political too. His clock just got cut way too short though. Maybe if he would have lived longer, he would have achieved what NaS and Pac did. But I still think he would have fell short. NaS and Pac were very much thinkers at heart and shared many of the same reading habits, which always got reflected in their work. Big L wasn't really that way, but he might have grown into that later on in life.

Jacks of all trades are rarely good at a variety of things. But NaS and Pac were the special rare gems. Also Melle Mel -- his versatility was on par with both NaS and Pac. And he was waaaaay ahead of his time. And if Jay-Z was more political, he would fit right in with them too.
