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
Banks. Lloyd Banks. K, conversation over, get out. I can have a decent hip hop conversation with someone, but those bolded calls of yours are, well, at the best flat out ######ed. Eminem flat out destroys them. Kweli flat out destroys them. Hell, Pacewon kills all of them. They are utter garbage. Might as well include ICP and Lil Wayne on that list.
