Unlike the 'pick your' we can now argue until we

Cormega
Inspectah Deck
Tragedy Khadafi
Killah Priest
AZ

These are my final 5 of this group.

The best lyricist of the bunch is 'mega. You can say that Cormega has shitty delivery, voice, breath control (he's always punching in) etc.. But you can't say he's not a gifted lyricist. His writing is unparalleled in rap, I'd say. He's lyrically versatile as well: from "Verbal Grafitti" to "The Saga".

Vote: Mega.

Killer Priest or AZ. I like AZ more so I picked him.

killah priest was my choice, and i'm a little surprised anyone agreed with me..

milk that cow!

In their primes, it's Prodigy, hands down. His verses on "Survival of the Fittest" and "Hell on Earth" are some of the best street rap verses ever.

All time though, it's got to be either Cormega or Tragedy.

probably az. a lot of these people have had pretty inconsistent careers.

gotta say prodigy....his verses just have a lasting affect on me for some reason

az

AZ.

almost everyone on there is one of my favorite rappers ever. Deck, Cormega, and AZ (especially with his catalogue) are severely underrated, I feel they're 3 of the best to ever touch a mic. Tragedy's a pioneer of Queens street rap. Killah Priest more than anyone should become an official brother in the clan. Jadakiss from 99-2000 showed all signs that he was going to be one of the next greatest rappers.

I gave a sympathy vote for Prodigy of Mobb Deep. One of the greatest of the 90's.

I feel the reason it seems that he gave up on putting effort into rap is because he has not been apreciated for everything he did. I see mixtapes comin out blending verses with new beats, best of's etc., but I don't see any of those being made for P, and there's definately a few albums worth of material for that.

Cormega

Masta Ace

Tragedy Khadafi

Beanie Sigel


i picked one of these. tough.

trag is getting no love

prodigy edges out jada based on longevity.

thought about priest, but sometimes he just kicks stupid nonsense..but at times kicks some of the most lovely poetic rhymes u'll here.

deck is solid, but never spectacular, imo.

az has his moments, but he falls flat most of the time these days.

sigel can be nice, but i dont think he's up there with p and jada.

tragedy has nice lyrics, but i couldnt say he's the best on the list so...

AZ automatically.

It looked pretty close until I saw AZ. Whether it's punchlines, coke rap or storytelling AZ delivers with complex and well crafted lyrics.

Iono why Jada is on there. Dude has zero energy and the most simplest rhyme schemes ever. Go back to the sewer Ninja Turtle Nigga.

deck

Until Uncontrolled substance came up ins could do no harm

P

he keeps it thoro

P was keeping it thoro

ever since I first heard KP I was impressed by his unique brand of lyricism,so even if others may be more popular he'll always stand out to me

Mega Montana

i'm the only asshole voting keith murray eh

cool

J to the Moi.

Good list tho.

Priest all the way.....then Murray!!

Inspectah Deck.

Its Deck, no one here is close to his level


PEACE

i chose the inspectah, but it could have gone either way between him and AZ

i went with tragedy.

Keith Murray !!!!

When he popped up on the shadez of Lingo track.. It was over.. I miss some good Keith tracks...
