Ten80P

interesting question.
I'm from Detroit, MI.
I will categorize my
answers.

Top 5s:

All Time?
1. Jay-Z ... prior to 05, he ran hip hop.
2. Nas ... prior to signing to Def Jam (sans beat selection), he was the top lyricist.
3. Common ... Com Sense is the longest lasting lyricist with a consistent catalog
4. Pac ... one of the realest to touch the mic.
5. Eminem ... one of the illest to touch the mic.


Right now?
1. Curren$y ... the most consistent with good music.
2. Kendrick Lamar ... best lyricist out right now.
3. Ab Soul ... another of the realest up-and-comers.
4. Big K.R.I.T ... the man can spit for a southerner and outside the stripper joints, is a solid MC.
5. Joey Bada$$ ... a new comer, but makes the 5 because his style keeps boom bap alive.




Locally?
I dont listen to shit outside
Dilla and Royce that I dont
make myself.

A lot of corny rappers out here.

Yep I threw a couple RnB albums on there too LOLOL, I love hiphop to death but I always felt RnB and HipHop were inseparable. Can't have one without the other - at least for me. Not that many new school rappers I like. Lloyd Banks and 50 Cent my favorite "new" rappers, Kanye is getting there, Curren$y and Wiz are dope too.

Can't believe it took me this long to post in this thread SMH.
