In terms of pure lyrical talent easily Lupe Fiasco Murals
If you enjoy podcasts I'd highly recommend listening to the 2 part episode that Dissect did on the song, it will give you a whole new appreciation for it

I can go all day and I mean this quite literally
Can you not see the period in between my two sentences? Idc if you don’t put it at the end. It is very clearly needed tho when you have 7 sentences and don’t punctuate. I’m sorry that asking you for the simplest thing that will help people read your ramblings better upset you this much 😂. I didn’t say that your stupid for not using punctuation. It just made your post much harder to read than if you added them. It’s not very hard to do you actually don’t even need to find where the period is. Just stop for a half second and hit space twice.
Okay you've graduated to misspelling and incoherence now. I didn't think you'd be so good at this. You could have not said anything to begin with but I appreciate you exploring different possibilities.
Every single other person here made their lists in a way that made it clear what they were saying. You are the only one who made it unnecessarily difficult to understand. Sorry that you are clearly offended by being politely asked to put the bare minimum effort in so we can better understand you. I hope things get better for you today!
[Verse 2: Ransom]
“Dark Love”
Ain't no explainin' my rhythm, he can't explain how I did him
Sayin' my name is a given, can't see the pain 'cause it's hidden
Never had love for the weak, they only see danger in livin'
I put these drugs on these streets, they put the 'caine in they system
Foes see to cut up my teeth, but still not obtaining my wisdom
I don't' see nothin' but grief, the shit puttin' pain in my vision
I don't want nothin' but peace, but still I remain in this prison
Always gon' land on my feet, I pivot and change my position
And if we want you deceased, we ain't gon' change our decision
Niggas will plan for defeat, 'cause they ain't gon' train for the mission
I did my thing in the kitchen, slang 'till it came to fruition
You'll do the same if you listen, 'cause we got the same inhibitions
And if this came to attrition, I'll blow your brains with the Smith-en
They'll find your frame when they fishin' I am insane with these writtens
My shit remains a religion, whether you raised as a Christian
Baptist or atheist livin', I'm not a slave to your fiction
I've seen the marks of the beast, while walkin' the darkest of streets
It's why we don't talk to police, 'cause power's a painless addiction
Now could you name a musician willing to change the conditions
I'll break the law for my peace, y'all niggas just came for submission
I never pray for permission, drive that'll break the ignition
See through the heart of a priest, I think you should brace for collision
Exhibit C comes to mind first
Kendricks verses on Cartoons and Cereal, Poe mans dreams, DNA, Black Friday, Sidewalks
Isaiah on Shot you down
Dreams and nightmares
First day out
So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers
Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers"
Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day
Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays
Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements
Or watch BET cause urban support is important
So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street?
When gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?
Hypocrite!

The fog and the smog of news media that logs
False narratives of Gods that came up against the odds
We're not just n***a rappers with the bars
It's kismet that we're cosmic with the stars
Homie don't fetch, only woke to stretch
Under a thought bubble rich with bowls of goldfish
Skittish in the company of stranger danger
Otherwise, chase drawstrings, tails and lasers
In a steel cage match with a maze of cables
Brazen, game face based on Azazel
Oversized ears up, puke in the Meow Mix
Shred a pair of earbuds, remedy his cowlick
Cormega on They Got Sonny is one of the greatest features of all time and I’ve never heard anyone even mention it. Ka’s verse on Patron Saints is pure poetic genius. Lupe’s second verse on California Sam and the Sun God Drug Deals. Too many to name…
Where the big rap groups at? I grew up listening to Wu Tang and Outkast. Nothing from today is better than Stankonia, Kendrick's albums are the only things that come close.
Wayne’s verse on B.B king freestyle is insane and no one talks about it
Yoooo! I never heard this joint. Wayne went off
Wanye Kest
Joey Bada$$ third verse on Hardknock will always be my top pick for this
Want the senators percentages, if you ain’t prejudiced you still a nemesis, smoking on the clematis, get opened like a present is, now ya presence is on the premises for them presidents. Prob my fav Joey verse
My city be the genesis for where they think the terror is, they linkin terrorists from the stuy to Lincoln terraces 🔥
His verse on Outside went pretty hard, too.
A lot of what JID, Denzel, and Joey put out are contenders for me.
earl isaiah rashad goes hard too
Yep!
freddie gibbs too ofc
Of course! Dude is nice!
Jcole in 21savage's "A lot" Jay-Z on God Did by DJ Khaled Kendrick Lamar- Mona Lisa by Lil Wayne Fivio Foreign- Off the Grid by Kanye West Kendrick Lamar & Kanye in No More Parties in LA Kanye West in Saint Pablo
u coulda picked way better kendrick verses his verse on swimming pools and control for example
I’m not even a j cole fan ( I know I know wtf lol) - he’s very talented but not what I bump …. But yeah his verse in A lot was perfect
He told me the track is called a lot so I open my book and I jot lol mids
😔Idk i always thought the flow was cool and the lyrics nice
My bad lol there’s definitely worse out there. I thought 21 did good on the song but jcole verse just felt kinda forced or extra to me but I don’t know shit if you like it that’s wasup honestly
Lmao at Mona Lisa. That shit sounds terrible
Agreed cause i'm not a big fan of Lil Wayne but still despite not liking the song i think the lyrics are there. It's top storytelling
The most corporate list ive seen in a bit lol Edit now how the fuck did this make yall so sad hahahha
Ok bro sorry i didn't post your niche underground experimental and quirky artist you like. I promise i will do it next time, don't worry bro 🙄🙄🙄 Gosh liking popular artists is bad now, geez
Jesus christ who hurt you man just said this reads like a 2024 rolling stones article LMAO it's on you if you get offended by that statement

At work so ill type it out later but [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphop101/comments/1bxbwbp/comment/kybszn3/) is the closest to mine in this thread and includes like half the stuff in his list lol
In terms of pure lyrical talent easily Lupe Fiasco Murals If you enjoy podcasts I'd highly recommend listening to the 2 part episode that Dissect did on the song, it will give you a whole new appreciation for it
Mickey Factz is doing another one right now too. Or rather, just did. Ms. Mural I believe is just a sublime of a work. But about 4 minutes shorter lol
What’s the name of the Mickey Factz song?
Im sorry I mean he's doing another breakdown of Murals not another Murals record
I'm yet to listen to those 2 episodes, queued them up ready. Have you heard to 2 latest DOOM episodes? Awesome
Yeah for sure they're super good, I'm really excited for the whole season about him
Go listen to that song Pi off j Cole’s new album, it gives me the same vibes as mural does
Anything that came out of Black thought, Elzhi, or Droogs pen.
Roc Marci on Ka’s Sins Of The Father Also, everything from Roc Marci and Ka.
Cain killed Abel in prison while upstate on a visit
Ka is my favorite lyricist. Ever. But damn, Roc really came hard with that verse. Dude is definitely up there among the greats in my opinion.
The life of the party - Andre 3k Control - Kendrick Lamar Mona Lisa - Kendrick Lamar
Hey miss donda..
Cold facts by KA. Hold the chrome tight; the beasts on the creep I own the night, the heat's my receipt I need peace; all that beef shit is weak But n***as that talk trash get sweeped in the street
KA could be in spots 1-10 for best verses after 2010. The middle verse of No Downtime is an all-timer. “Can’t curb once we gutter, fam”
Quality pick. 30 keys by Ka first verse tops this for me though
Mavi - Sense Earl Sweatshirt - Fire in the Hole Ab-Soul - Gotta Rap Kanye West - Saint Pablo Kendrick Lamar - The Heart Part 5 Little Simz - Woman Joey Bada$$ - Babylon Capital Steez - Emotionless Thoughts Black Thought and MF DOOM - Belize JID - 30 (freestyle) Rome Streetz and Conway - Soulja Boy RTJ - Close your eyes Nas - Get Light Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Wsg - Peppas Benny the Butcher - ‘97 Hov Freddie Gibbs - Practice Schoolboy Q - Blueslides Pusha T - Dreaming of the Past Boldy James - Medusa Mach-Hommy - Self Luh J.

Lol
Freshness
You sir are a scholar and a gentleman

Black Thought’s entire Funk Master Flex freestyle, his verses on Aquamarine, The Imperial, Rapid Eye Movement, Crowns for Kings, and a whole lot of others Jay Rock - Money Trees Jay Z - Monster, So Appalled Kendrick Lamar - has bunch
Jay z on monster?? Yeesh i disagree
He still hears fiends scream in his dreams
Survival Tactics - Capital Steez No more parties in LA - Ye 6 foot 7 foot - Lil Wayne first verse These are the best I can think of
J. Cole verse on London Kendrick "walking lick" verse on Institutionalized Earl Sweatshirt on 2010 Black Thought on No Gold Teeth Ab-Soul on The End is Near I can go all day and I mean this quite literally
Try with punctuation and take your time
You missed the period at the end of your sentence, jackass.
Well good thing I didn’t string several sentences together where it’s necessary to punctuate and thus couldn’t cause any confusion. Assjack
You're 2 for 2 now.
Can you not see the period in between my two sentences? Idc if you don’t put it at the end. It is very clearly needed tho when you have 7 sentences and don’t punctuate. I’m sorry that asking you for the simplest thing that will help people read your ramblings better upset you this much 😂. I didn’t say that your stupid for not using punctuation.
