Hip-Hop Heads Only: Who are your top 10 LYRICISTS right now?

I'm not saying this because I dislike rap or r n b, but you really have to be careful with that sort of thing because alot of girls will see right through it.

i'm willing to take my chances

Well in that case, I'd recommend Last Night by Az Yet... actually, that's a really cool song so use that.

Just play some old school shit like Al Green and Marvin Gaye to get her in the mood. Or pretty much any 70's soul artists.

yeah i already got that song. Here's my list so far

R. Kelly- Half On A Baby (with lyrics such as "so baby open up, and get ready to receive" it's sure to set the mood)
Craig David- Rendezvous
Az Yet- Last Night
Jaheim- Anything
Ginuwine- On My Way
Ginuwine- Lonely Daze
Avant- My First Love
Avant- Don't Say Yes
Avant- Ooh Ahh
Donell Jones- Do U Wanna
Donell Jones- I Wanna Luv U
Donell Jones- I Hope It's You
KC + JoJo- Love Ballad
KC + JoJo- Wanna Do You Right
KC + JoJo- I Wanna Make Love To You
BIIM- I'll Make Love To You
BIIM- Hey Lover

still got 75% of my music collection to go through

i'll add more....i got an idea for a closing song but i dont know the name...but the lyrics go " i dont want to know your name i just want bang bang bang"

EMINEM(the angry blonde mop) feat FROGG - JUST DONT GIVE A FUCK

Intro Frogg:
Whoa a get your hands in the air and get to clappin 'em
and like back and forth bacause ah this is what you thought it
wasn't. It be's the brothers representin the dirty dozen.
I be the F R O and double G *coughing in background*
And check out the man he goes by the name of er...
Verse 1 Eminem (Frogg):
Slim Shady
Brain dead like Jan Brady
I'm a M80
You little like that Kim lady
I'm buzzin, Dirty Dozen, naughty writin rhymer
Cursin at you players worse than Marty Schottenheimer
You wacker than the motherfucker you bit your style from
You ain't gonna sell two copies if you pressed a double album
Admit it, fuck it, I'll be comin out in the open
I'm doin acid, crack, smack, hocus smokin dope then
My name is Marshall Mathers, I'm an alcoholic (Hi Marshall)
I have a disease and they don't know what to call it
Better hide your wallet cause I'm comin up quick to strip your cash
Bought a ticket to your concert to come and whip your ass
Bitch, I'm comin out swingin, so fast it'll make your eyes spin
You gettin knocked the fuck out like Mike Tyson
The proof is in the pudding just ask the Shawn Holman
I'll slit your motherfuckin throat worse than Ron Goldman
Chorus:
So when you see me on your block with two glocks
Screamin fuck the world like Tupac, I just don't give a fuck
Talkin that shit behind my back, dirty mack
And tellin your boys that I'm on crack, I just don't give a fuck
So, put my tape back on the rack
Go run and tell your friends my shit is wack,I just don't give a fuck
But see me on the street and duck,
Cause you gon get stuck, stoned, and stuffed
Cause I just don't give a fuck
Verse 2 Eminem, (Frogg):
I'm nicer than P, but I'm on a search to crush your milkbone
I'm everlasting, I melt Vanilla Ice like silicone
I'm ill enough to just straight up diss you for no reason
I'm colder than snow season when it's twenty below freezin
Flavor with known seasonin, this is the sneak preview
I'll diss your magazine and still won't get a weak review
I'll make your freak leave you, smell the Folgers crystals
This is lyrical combat, gentleman hold your pistols
But I form like Voltran and blast you with my soda missles
Slim Shady, Eminem is my old initials (Bye-bye)
Extortion, snortin, supportin abortion
Pathological liar, blowin shit out of proportion
Illunious, zanious, spontaneous, sporatic
Impulsive thinker, impulsive drinker, addict
Half animal, half man
Dumpin your dead body inside of a fucking trash can
With more holes than an afghan
Chorus
Verse 3 Eminem:
Somebody let me out this limousine, I'm a caged demon
On stage screamin like Rage Against The Machine
I'm convinced I'm a fiend, shootin up while this record is spinnin
Clinically braindead, I don't need a second opinion
Fuck droppin a jewel, I'm flippin the sacred treasure
I'll bite your motherfuckin style just to make it fresher
I can't take the pressure, I'm sick of bitches
Sick of naggin bosses bitchin while I'm washin dishes
In school I never said much, too busy havin a headrush
Doin too much rush had my face flushed like red blush
Then I went to Jim Beam that's when my face strayed
Went to gym in eighth grade raped the womens swim team
Don't take me for a joke I'm no comedian
Too many mental problems got me snortin coke and smokin weed again
I'm goin up over the curb, drivin on the median
Finally made it home, but I don't got the key to get in
Chorus
Outro Eminem:
Hey, fuck that!
Outsidaz
Pace One
Young Zee

From the Lifeo f Sean carter Album - Jay - Z Vol. 3

Hova Outro

Who ever thought young Shawn Carter would change the game?
Used to rap to the raindrops off my window pane
Duckin the plain cops, pushin indo and 'caine
At the kitchen table late night, no pen, just my brain
First album niggaz love me cause they thought I was poor
Guess I'm successful; industry don't love me no more
Well I'm the same nigga from your corner, bubblin raw
Skully tilted, pants saggin, damn near touchin the floor
And I come with do-rags to your so-called awards
T-shirt with my chain out like fuck y'all all
Retrospect ain't been the same since I lost my dad
He's still alive, but still fuck you, don't cross my path
A&R's had me feelin like moss in the drab
So I turned the league out with "Reasonable Doubt"
Get your CD's out, let's go, song for song
I'm the illest nigga doin it til y'all prove me wrong
Do you believe?
It's Hova the God, uhh, uhh, uhh..

Kanye West

this song is just beautiful

"One Mic"

[speaking softly, gradually getting louder]
One time.. yeah.. yeah..

Yo, all I need is one mic, one beat, one stage
One nigga front, my face on the front page
Only if I had one gun, one girl and one crib
One God to show me how to do things his son did
Pure, like a cup of virgin blood; mixed with
151, one sip'll make a nigga flip
Writin names on my hollow tips, plottin shit
Mad violence who I'm gon' body, this hood politics
Ackowledge it, leave bodies chopped in garbages
Seeds watch us, grow up and try to follow us
Police watch us {*siren*} roll up and try knockin us
One knee I ducked, could it be my time is up
But my luck, I got up, the cop shot again
Bus stop glass bursts, a fiend drops his Heineken
Richochetin between the spots that I'm hidin in
Blackin out as I shoot back, fuck gettin hit! [more sirens]
This is my hood I'ma rep, to the death of it
'til everybody come home, little niggaz is grown
Hoodrats, don't abortion your womb, we need more warriors soon
Sip from the star sun and the moon
In this life of police chases street sweepers and coppers
Stick-up kids with no conscience, leavin victims with doctors
IF YOU REALLY THINK YOU READY TO DIE, WITH NINES OUT
THIS IS WHAT NAS IS BOUT, NIGGA THE TIME IS NOW!

[whispering again]
Yo, all I need is one mic..
All I need is one mic.. that's all I need
All I need is one mic.. all I need niggaz
All I need is one mic.. yeah

[gradually getting louder]
All I need is one blunt, one page, and one pen
One prayer - tell God forgive for one sin
Matter fact maybe more than one, look back
at all the hatred against me, fuck alla them
Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots
from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two
Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17
Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you
Everybody gotta die sometime; hope your funeral
never gets shot up, bullets tear through the innocent
Nothin is fair, niggaz roll up, shootin from wheelchairs
My heart is racin, tastin revenge in the air
I let the shit slide for too many years, too many times
Now I'm strapped with a couple of macs, too many nines
If y'all niggaz really wit me get busy load up the semis
Do more than just hold it explode the clip until you empty
There's nothin in our way - they bust, we bust, they rust, we rust
Led flyin, feel it? I feel it in my gut
THAT WE TAKE THESE BITCHES TO WAR, LIE 'EM DOWN
CAUSE WE STRONGER NOW MY NIGGA THE TIME IS NOW!!

[whispering again]
All I need is one mic.. that's all I need, that's all I need
All I need is one mic.. there's nuttin else in the world
All I need is one mic.. that's all a nigga need to do his thing y'know
All I need is one mic..

[starting loud this time, getting quieter]
ALL I NEED IS ONE LIFE, ONE TRY, ONE BREATH I'M ONE MAN
WHAT I STAND FOR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
Or wanna see me on top, too egotistical
Talkin all that slick shit, the same way these bitches do
Wonder what my secrets is, niggaz'll move on you
only if they know, what your weakness is I have none
Too late to grab guns I'm blastin cause I'm a cool nigga
Thought I wouldn't have that ass done? Fooled you niggaz
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin
War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
Complete with thick scars, brothers knifin each other
up in prison yards, drama, where does it start?
You know the block was ill as a youngster
Every night it was like a, cop would get killed body found in the dumpster
For real a hustler, purchased my Range, niggaz throwin dirt on my name
Jealous cause fiends got they work and complain
Bitches left me cause they thought I was finished
Shoulda knew she wasn't true she came to me when her man caught a sentence
Diamonds are blindin, I never make the same mistakes
Movin with a change of pace, lighter load, see now the king is straight
Swellin my melon cause none of these niggaz real
Heard he was, tellin police, how can a kingpin squeal?
This is crazy, I'm on the right track I'm finally found
You need some soul searchin, the time is now

All I need is one mic.. yeah, yeah yeah yeah
All I need is one mic.. that's all I ever needed in this world, fuck cash
All I need is one mic.. fuck the cars, the jewelry
All I need is one mic.. to spread my voice to the whole world

Not the best song (nas) hes coo cat though. My best top 10 list.

Thats not hes best song. Listen to his gods Son Album and the bonus album

Nas - God Son (The GoD)

Not his best song no, but I love it. I have all his albums and I know, One Mic is better than anything off of God's Son.

Top Nas songs:
1. Nas Is Like
2. It Ain't Hard To Tell
3. NY State Of Mind
4. I Gave You Power
5. Serious ft. AZ
6. One Mic
7. Nazareth Savage
8. On The Real
9. A Message To The Feds
10. The Message

Edit: I somehow put message to the feds at two before.

Get the Bonus Album. He killed em trust me. I like one Mic but seriously its not the best.

And nas is like was killa song when it came out.

A Message To The Feds is no where near Nas's 2nd best song, that wouldn't make my top 50 probably. I actually thought Just a Moment & Live Now where the best songs of Streets Disciple.

Your missing out on some classic Illmatic songs, (Life's A Bitch, The World Is Yours, Represent, Half Time)

I don't like Life's A Bitch, the hook is just too damn annoying. I must have made a mistake because I thought I was putting message to the feds at like 7.
How'd I do that?

A-Plus, Phesto, Opio, and Tajai AKA Souls Of Mischief

Young Buck cant flow really. Hes like all the other southern rappers. Talking about shooting some cats. Easiest shit to rhyme about (besides money and buying stuff and hoes.). cant put Buck in our category

Talking about shooting some cats

Thats disgusting, why shoot a defenseless animal, I'll phone the RSPCA and report the bastard.

I'm really feeling your choices of lyricists right there. First off it's evident that you're about or over 25 years old, 'cause know way a young cat is taking about Masta Ace and Jeru.

I'm 13 and I've heard and love Masta Ace so don't speak too soon. :wink: Though, I would of never escaped the real of mainstream had it not been for the Hip-Hop heads at BBB.net.

Hey, whats your handle on BBB? Is that you, Theo?

*Canibus (forgot him; Poet Lauerate II is the greatest hip-hop piece ever; he is the most intelligent rapper)
1. Sage Francis (bias)
2. Prolyphic
3. Immortal Technique
4. Rakim
5. Nas
6. Q-Tip (ATCQ: Best group ever)
7. KRS-1
8. Talib Kweli
9. Common
10. Andre 300
*I forgot Black Thought, so I thought I would add him here.
11. MF Doom (not really lyrics, but style)
12. Mos Def (he'd move up if he didn't keep messing around and start making real hip-hop again; sort of applies to Common and Andre 3000, but Mos is too occupied with Black Jack Johnson and acting)
12. Guru
13. GZA
14. AZ (he could've been tht next Nas)
15. The cats from Binary Star (Reality Check and New Hip Hop are two of my most favorite songs ever) oh and Dead Prez, too
* I forgot Grand Puba and Masta Ace and Ghostface Killah and Masta Killah and pretty much all of Wu-Tang
16. Murs
17. Chuck D
18. Brother Ali
19. Lauryn Hill (needs to put out more stuff; along with Mr. Pharoahe Monch (sp)
20. Kool Keith (see MF Doom)
21. Vinnie Paz
22. Pharoahe Monch (see Lauryn Hill)
23. TI (yes that TI; cool concepts; Trap Muzik is very underrated; Stuck up hip-hop heads need to fess up and admit that the south is getting better)
24. Jay Z
25. Flava Flav ;) Chali 2na

Gotta respect that list not saying that I agree with you on every single position but you have some great rappers there, Canibus and Immortal Technique are the smartest cats in the rap game no doubt. Don't agree with Sage Francis being at the top, he is a great lyricisit but not that great.
