anyways, no your list is just filled with stereotypical "lyricists". Illmatic was ahead of its time, but since then its been downhill for him, especially after the takeover (exception: ether). Redman is great and i like him, but hes not one of the outstanding lyricists of recent time.
top 5: (in no order)
em
Jay
Joe Budden (do your research re: Mood Muzik 2 and 3)
Pac - Insane quantity to quality ratio
Biggie
Alternate: Maybe gza, rae or ghost
even some newish guys have unbelievable wordplay, Fabolous, Joell Ortiz, infact all of Slaughterhouse, Banks, Cube is definitely legend
