    1. Eminem (on another fuckin planet when it comes to flow and lyrics)

    4. Biggie (seriously, i would put him higher up there but didnt reach prime yet, and yes i know he birthed number 2)
    5. Talib Kweli

    now this is completely different than my favorite rappers list (pac woulda been number 1), but since were arguin about who is the best emcee, i think these 5 have the MOST TALENT behind the mic….

    Rakim-he birthed art of lyricism
    Nas-Deep thought and versatility(subject matter)…give both sides of the story
    Joe Budden-Introspection joe speak from his soul (10min/Three sides to the story/Mood Muziq mixtapes)if u havent heard mixtapes u have no idea what im talkin about
    Hov-Consistency/whittiness/delivery
    Canibus-Lyrics are outta this world/Very intelligent emcee

    No matter what everybodies list is different because all Emcees cater to there demographic and others who think and feel the same way they do……no matter what list i make im still not gonna be satisfied with the end result

  86. THE HIP HOP Says:

    5.T.I-because he the KING!!! go listen to the never scard remix n check the verse and the new album got some hot shit 2
    4.Cassidy-The new shit he got on mixtapes is off the chain.
    3.Fabolous-Fab always been nice with the word he just underated as a artist
    2.Kanye West- he bring his A game everytime on every album every song is hot u never have to skip a song.
    1.Weezy F. B-What is there 2 say cause Wayne always got some hot shit to say he make every song hot wit his verses and you always playback 2 hear what he said again and again

    5) FABOLOUS… slept caz of the love songs

    HONORABLE MENTION: ghostface killah, andre 3000, kanye west, lloyd banks, common, jadakiss & cassidy

  90. gj Says:

    EMINEM is the top lyricist to me bacause he showed everyone he had a lot to prove after comng out. He’s not only considered as the best white rapper but as one of the best rappers period. He gave fans wordplay, sick rhymes, storytelling and cynical humor. He’s released 3 great albums, Marshall Mathers being the best from a lyrical standpoint of view and Eminem SHow being the best in overall production and maturity. Yes Encore was lackluster and didn’t give fans what they wanted fully but the album wasn’t album which proves hes still consistent. Not to mention he made one of the biggest deals ever by signing 50 Cent, the only rap artist alive that sells ALMOST as much as Em does himself. Many artist paved the way for him but hes the only white artist who’s done it like he has. He’s the Grammy and Academy award winning rapper whose still has a lot to prove. Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers….EMINEM

  91. Crazy Says:

    I’m surprised i didnt see beans on more lists. this is a best nigga rapping 2day not all time. Lil wayne has been gettin alot of credit out here and i like lil homie and all that but if u cant quote a verse from a dude that proves his lyrical and intellectual status in the world (not the rap world but the real world) then he’s not really that nice, he got flows for days and he’s amusing but i cant call him nice he doesnt have enough quotes

    —————————————————————
    2. Eminem- the amount of records he’s sold aint for nothin. he’s the best rhyme artist, and he’s probably the only artist that can rap about the same topic in a whole song while rhyming without going off wat he’s talkin bout.

    1.jay-z- well, dopest rapper, lyricist, punchliner….. need i say more? it’s hov man! ROC! ///_ _\\\

    ~king Of the double Entendre~

    pops knew exactly what he did when he made me
    tried to get a nut and he got a nut and what

    like short sleeves I bear arms

    About his whereabouts I wasn’t convinced
    So I kept feeding her money ’til her shit started to make sense

    No question; Jay-Z got too many answers

    too much black and too much love, equals forever

    Mike Jordan of rap – outside J workin

    Ill impregnate the world when i come through ya speakers

    Flow with no cut, you take it in vain/vein to the brain

    Only psalms I read was on the arms of my niggaz
    Tattooed so I carry on like I’m non-religious

    say it’s the dawn/Don but I’m superstitious

    Bullets breeze by you like lousiana mayne

    And you got a couple of +Beans+ and you don’t have a +Clue+?
    You situation is +Bleek+, I’ma keep it +Rell+ cause
    Fuckin with me, you gotta drop +Amil+
    Cause if you gonna cop somethin you gotta cop +Pharrell+

    Fine; it cost you nothin – pay me no mind

    What you eat don’t make me shit

    Jigga man is diesel
    When I lift the eight up

    Y’all don’t see, clearly cause the reign ain’t gone

    When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
    It ain’t to play games with you
    It’s to aim at you

    Like a running back, get it man, I’m straight off the block

    I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
    (But i did five Mil)
    I ain’t been rhymin like Common Sense

    Flyer than a piece of paper bearin my name

    Young N***** that blast for me, no religion

    I don’t talk shit, I just flip it Un ya

    You know the Cola, yeah
    Hova still gettin it in with soda

I was cam biggest fan before he let that money get to his fucking head. I can go line for line on killa any day with you. That how of big of a fan i was of killa. He mouth killed his legacy.Think of any other rapper in the game that fucked up their career like cam. This nigga was in the major leagues. Before he let dame influence to fuck his career up. He is not coming back after “coming with me’ album he change his style for no reason. He was fine the way he was. But he fucked up badly i don’t how someone does that to themself. Now he shitting on freinds. Rapping lazy , Talking out of pride thinking he destory people like nas. When he never did…Jay-z hit nas better than CAM. Why you think nas never answer … He did nothing. He need to stop smoking weed and get it together. I might you believe then

    second that shit wit 50 was not a battle what the fuck kinda battle is that, 50 and jada was a battle, jada and beans was a battle. nas jay 50 and whoever else he wants to talk shit it about is on a higher level. all this really comes down to is age and i feel like i’m arguing wit a child. thats the way nas, jay, 50 feel. he not on his grown man shit he on his 106 and park shit. and if he’s nice than j.r. writer is nice. i mean he named himself after jr rider he must be great right. cam got his lil skills but compared to the dudes that really spit, flips topics and flows. cam is nicer than 50 i’ll give u that, thats not even a contest. but best he’s far from

  203. EdRock Says:

    its hard for me to put some rappers in order. but imma try to do my best to put tha people i think is on there. and i hope everyne understands that we talkin bout lyrics, NOT cheesy punchlines, so Weezy aint gonna be mentioned

    but umm here’s who i think

    Nas, i mean he’s always been in tha top echelon in lyricists. imma bug nas fan and imma even admit that after streets disciple dropped i aint really kno where he wuz goin. but when he dropped HipHop Is Dead i knew he is still Nas, he killed that album. so wit that he has to be tha top

    Jadakiss, imma sound biased again cuz imma D-Block/LOX fanatic but jadakiss has got it on lock. tha way that alotta people embrace Weezy, is tha way alotta people embrace jadakiss, he’s always on evry remix and kills every remix he;’s on. aside from that he aint lyin when he says “top five dead or alive”. i aint like his first album, but all of tha Lox stuff and mixtape stuff and of course his alst album(kiss of death) which wuz crazy solidified his spot. i like jada cuz he dont use punchlines, he uses deep metaphors kinda like wut Biggie used to do. jus listen to tsongs like “still feel me” i mean he’s jus a beast

    Styles, tha harddest rapper out (pause) period. i luv his imagery, its real harsh but his flow is orignal and he comes up wit shit that makes me get amped. first album wuz hot, second album woulda been hit if it aint get pushed back a thousand times. all his mixtape stuff is immaculate. jus listen to “this is how we live” and you’ll see why he’s a beast, but dont call him tha ghost no more cuz he’s a phantom :)

    honorable mention:
    Jay-Z, he’s always gonna be ill, even tho i wuz on eof tha few that liked Kingdom Come, he has shown some signs of slippin, cuz every feature he’s done lately has been real real weak, aside from tha TI track

    Common, it seems like if u wasnt a rapper from back in tha day then u arent a lyricsit. Common’s been hldin it down sicne day one and never did nuttin different then do wut he does best, and be a tru lyricist, i had doubts of tha new album, i got it and i been bumpin it heavy. so he deserved to be on tha top 5

    andre3000, wit all these damn features i think he realies why he shoulda been rappin in tha first place and stop all that werid singing shit, i mean i like “hey ya” and a few others, but Idlewild wuz definately tha oppostie of good. but yeah he’s been killin, hope his solo lp drops soon

    Saigon, this is a longshot, so dont get mad, but i think he;s one of tha few young guys that actually spits some hot lyrics wit no cheesy stuff in it. his album jus needs to drop already. i gotta lil tired of him cuz u can only saturate tha mixtapes for so long, i need to hear an album

    umm its hard for me to really think of other people cuz there really aint alotta lyricists out and tha ones that came to be lyricits are medicore and best or jus plain trash, or are punchline rappers that claim they some how are lyricists
    so i hope people kno tha dfference between lyricists and punchline rappers/nusery rhyme rappers

  204. ruger Says:

    he don’t need to bust at tru life but damn retaliate,were i’m from u don’t let a nigga snuff u and do shit about it,them niggas stay in the same city,matter fact same borough and this nigga runnin around snuffin and robbin ya niggas like dat,plus i do admit curtis waz better then funeral music but cam not that rich,jimmy got more money

    u tell me i’m an internet beast and that i should check out rock forums and kanye and jayz tour wit U2. u tellin me u wouldnt tour wit U2. when u can cross over to the other side, the white side and still be yourself and make niggas feel u, then you’ve made it. they never stopped being hiphop cuz they toured wit some old rock niggas, they get guap. hip hop and being nice aint bout spittin the same flow sayin the same shit being in the same place and doin the same dumb shit for bout 10 years. hip hop changes, grows, adapts, and spreads out every year. why dont cam do all those things. and dogs, jimmy do got more guap, cam aint do nuthin jimmy aint do. he just starting to pass him but cam is declining, jimmy got his lil fame but can he keep it up.

    i got more for yall and I aint even close to be done
    Jay is always on some real shit

    THESE RIGHT HERE ARE JUST SOME of the many lines Hov has

    Niggas talkin’ about bitten lines/
    But I did every bit of crime that I write in mine

    “this necklace been the reason all of my dates been blind dates”

    Motheras say that I’m foolish, I only talk about jewels/
    Do you listen to music or do you just skim through it

    Crack was anthrax back then
    back when
    police was al-qaeda to black men

    ” Younging Ice grilling me/ Oh you not feeling me find i cost you nothing/ Pay me not mine.”

    That boy hov has a hell of a pen/ he don’t put it to papper he just writing to win/ I know you hate me now you wasn’t liking me then/ Because my money getting long like IBM/ Oh I see them try to use your boy hov name to get a little fame again.”

    “Send you back to ‘The essence’ for gettin fresh with ya father, really
    You shoulda got HOVA’S SON cross ya belly”

    The game is a lightbulb with eleventy-million volts/
    And I’m just a moth, addicted to the floss

    “Whos the nicest/life or lifeless/i dont write this/i just mic this/i will it to happen”

    We used to fight for building blocks/
    Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing

    My shit is butter for the bread they wanna toast me

    Can’t be too safe cause niggaz is two-faced/
    And they show the other side when they catch a new case

    Hova the God, I should be rappin with turban/
    Haters can’t disturb him, waiters can’t serve him/

    Throwin it up like liquor on an empty stomach

    An appetitite for destruction but I scrape the plate

    “i had to take off the blazer, loosen up the tie, step out the booth, superman`s alive”

    No kids, but trust me I know how to raise a gun

    ”I’m cynical when in the view of the public
    And this is because, I’m defensive when I’m in interviews
    The percentage who don’t understand is higher than the percentage who do
    Check yourself, what percentage are you?

    “I seen rover wraped up in ribbons/ I seen them repoed, resoled and redriven/ so when i reload he hold number 1 postions/ when you hot i’m hot and when your feet called my is sizzling.”

    Niggas don’t get the picture ’til the weapon is drawn

    I move keys, you can call me the piano man

    I need rims that don’t listen

    Niggas is hot heads and the bullets is heat seekers

    We do dirt like worms, produce G’s like sperm/
    ’til legs spread like germs

    Ain’t nothin’ gonna change about Hov/
    Except my socks, drawers and my Roc-A-Wear clothes/
    And of course the flows so pretty soon/
    I’ll be able to rap in Morse Code

    ”And stick Cochran on any Da, to try and stop him
    So any gunplay that is a option”

    ”Eighteen carat gold pen, when it hits the sheets
    Words worth a million like I’m rappin em through platinum teeth”

    “Dont you know i eat ether and breathe acid/weak bastards/we are classics”

    ”Fuck y’all mean? Handlin’ since a teen I dish out
    like the point guard of your favorite team I dish out
    My life ain’t rosy but I roll with it
    My mind was fine until the dought hit it and told me that the ‘mo did it”

    ” I do suicide drills over and over with the weight of the world on my shoulders thats why they call me Hova/Far from being God But i work God damn hard.”

    My boo

    Ok, out of everyone mention on this page, i have to roll with the homie 3 Stacks. Dude is so ahead of his time lyrically, bar for bar NO ONE can compete with him as far as mic skills are concern.

    Ask yourself really, how you ever heard an wack verse from ‘Dre? Seriously think about it!

    Can you say the same for the other emcees mention.

    3 Stack is everything an MC should be, past, present, and future.

    Best rapper period!

    (verse from Mighty O)
    You ain’t a hater? Can’t tell
    Either wish me well, go to hell or go to yale
    Study human behavior so that you know who the hell
    You dealin` with ain’t nutty but the study goin` unvail
    My relative in jail (Ha!) stay in engaged
    TO whatever make money now he married to that cage
    Divorce is not an option and prenumptual is void
    Eat up what ever rapper but I’m tangled in my cord (hum)
    Bored, kind of like a knight with the sword
    Without dragon to battle so I’m running from a shadow

    an immpossible feat and I repeat!
    The damsel’s in distress but they a mess
    They only like my armor, and that I’m a performer
    They read one magazine and wanna think that they gon get warmer
    They only getting colder hell, maybe I should throw
    a double diamond party in the north pole
    Invite all the writers and journalists
    Even biters will tournament, to see who can be me
    Better than me; he’s a permanent, smile on my face
    Because you said you don’t like my style
    but that’s ok just make sure you don’t touch that dial

    look, I’ll get you hooked, ya’ll crooks might even move
    to Atlanta, Georgia, get a wife and daughter
    start a new life, and all that wrong you do you make it right

  285. Alex Hatchett Says:

    Top 5 ALL TIME (Lyricist)nothing Else
    1.Nas (Great Concept Songs = Great Lyrics think about the first time you head World is Yours, Lifes A Bitch, Gave U Power, Rewind)
    2.Jayz (There is nobody thats been hot for this long, enough said)
    3.2 PAC (He touch and influenc a lotta peole with his deep lyrics)
    4.EMINEM (Fuck! I broke my playback button listening to this guy, My pointer finger caught wiplash)
    5.RAKIM ( The pioneer created the first format and influence the next movement (NAS and others) with his lyrics.

    Top 5 Right Now
    1.Joe Budden (I think he is truly stuck on a spaceship, his lyrics are incredible touches many subjects, he does it all to the max Party Music, Slit your wrist Music, and concious music, great catalog. the guy has a cult following you go to his shows everyone is “hay wire”.
    2. Lupe Fiasco (You put Nas lyrics and Jayz’s flow and delivery this is what u get Lupe!)
    3. Saigon (Amazing up and comer not to many people know his catalog but for a mixtape artist he puts all the rappers to shame Saigon for me is above TI, Camron and the rest of the new guys. To bad with out an album he will decline below my top lyricist chart.
    4. Lil Wayne (He is not my number one because some of his lyrics are questionable but thats what happens when u overflood the hip hop market, great lyrics but withought the swagger they dont carry over. The only person who could get away with a song talking about kissing on his daddy)
    5. Kanye West (Evethough his delivery is awkward at times he is able to manage with his lyrics, probably the only rapper of today who does not follow any guidelines.

    Honorable mention (BIGGIE(passed away to early) SCARFACE, ANDRE 3000, BIG PUN,TI,LL Cool J.

    5.) The Game

  292. YABliss Says:

    Based on rappers who’ve release material within 2007

    1. Kanye West (I hate putting him at #1 because he doesn’t even believe that’s he’s #1 himself, but honestly he’s been the best lyricist in the game since he dropped “Late Registration” *2 years now*
    2. Jay-Z (G.O.A.T., lost it a bit lately, puts too much SWAGGER in his raps that it takes away from the feeling)
    3. Lil Wayne (by default because there is a shortage of rappers these days, even though he don’t talk about shit)
    4. Andre 3000 (should be #3, but doesn’t have enough material)
    5. Tie: Nas, The Game, Lupe Fiasco, Fabolous, fuck it, who really cares after #1, because #2 is not a winner, and #3 nobody remembers, and #4 & #5… fuck ‘em, they ain’t shit.

    5.Lil’ Wayne(Although he be spittin random shit sometimes, u gotta admit its still hot, and he got mad shit out….. most rappers whose albums got leaked, woulda got scared but Wayne jus went back in da booth and started ova)

    4. Young Jeezy/Kanye West ( Jeezy’s swag is jus impeccable…I kno he aint got da best lyrics but his music get me in a good mood …..as for Kanye, he always comes wit heat….and he aint all about dat shoot em up bang bang ….he’s different

    3.Joe Budden (Budden reminds me of Tupac, don’t know why Def Jam keeps pushin him back, maybe they figure niggas won’t understand him but hey niggas don’t undastand Nas but he put out albums…Joe Budden’s 1st album was definitely a slept on Classic.”If u don’t feel what da pencil script, 9 times outta ten u aint been thru shit”)

    2.50 Cent (Love em or Hate em, when it comes to making a song 50 is the truth. I think all da singles he put out are tuff…the only one I’m kinda iffy about is “Ayo Tech.” Niggas don’t like amusement park but I think its hot how he made sex into an amusement park)

    1.Jay-Z (Hands Down, The King, Who u know better then Hov, riddle me that, This nigga got Hella classics. I can’t name a Jay Z cd I aint like , and rarely do u skip a song on his shit, I mean if u a real nigga nah mean)

  362. BE-1 Says:

    5: Juelz Santana
    4: That Kid Cassidy
    3: Common
    2: R.Kelly
    1: Papoose

    The Reason I said Juelz is he carry a lot of flavor which Hip Hop is missing.
    I put Cassidy because he is the rawest rhymer in the street he reminds me of the days of Wu Tang. Common because his metaphores and song subjects are much more advance then the average rapper. R.Kelly because you said top “lyricists” and if R.Kelly touches your hook it turns to Gold. Last one is Papoose that kid is no joke a monster in his field, he is the definition of a lyricists expanding beyond what is normal to today.

Granted he has some hot songs..but top five greatest lyrics and ur gonna waste a spot with wayne.. Let’s be really… Doesn’t even make sense to me… What albums has he came out with that u can list classic..that u can mention in the same sentence as reasonable doubt..as illmatic..as it was written..as ready to die.. As endangered species .. As all eyez on me…

    Y’all are all messed up in the game really…

    1. Jay-Z (and not cuz I’m from brooklyn … Cuz he’s the been the most consistent for the past 10 yrs… Who has come out with an album every year with a number one hit ..although kingdom come he kinda fell off with too much I’m rich bitch lines… His flow his imagery and his metaphors are not comparable)…

    3.)Wayne (Wayne can be a little weird to me but his had some nice freestyles, he gets his work in.)
    2.)Eminem (I respect what he has done and he spits some serious bars.)
    1.)Fab (There hasn’t been a song i haven’t pressed rewind at least once, I love his style and how laid back he is. His freestyles are ridicolus, just watch the wild n out show he was on that was off the top of his dome imagine if he was actually beefing with someone, i mean he tore mase apart on his last mixtape.)

    Most of You Guys didn’t even answer the question correctly. The question is the top 5 best lyricists in the game, not the hottest 5 and not top 5 of all-time. Meaning best 5 RIGHT NOW!!! My best 5 right now, not in this order wil be:
    1)Jadakiss
    2)Styles P
    3)Eminem
    4)Ludacris

    1)BIG
    2)Jay
    3)Kiss
    4)Nas
    5)Big L

    No one out there can FUCK with my list. All of yall lists looks stupid compared to mine. Yall don’t know about rap! Some of u got Big, Pac, Big L n shit like that in ur lists. Those r people u would pick if its best MC’s of all-time, unfortunately, those legends have been dead 4 a while now, so they cant be best in the game NOW. Jay’s done with rap and Nas has fell off the map drastically from what he used to be. Scream At Me!!!!! D-Block, 2 Gunz Up!!!

  416. Markevin Says:

    What’s up yall. This ya boy Markevin reppin Dallas, TX and my top five besides Biggie and Tupac are Jay Z, Nas, Jadakiss/Styles P, Lupe Fiasco, and Joe Budden.

  417. RealTalkLDN Says:

    common (be n finding forever)
    lupe (food n liquor)
    pharoe monch (desire)
    trim (he’s from the uk…his mixtapes are fire myspace/trimbale AND his flow is ridculous)
    kano (from the uk – album n mixtapes. closest thing the uks got to jigga)

    Don’t start merking the uk just for the sake of it. This list is Top 5 Hip-Hop… hip-hop does cross borders for the ignorant minded.

  431. Crazy Says:

    Leborn u still poppin off god? Listen how am i gonna put pun before nas? You know why? Nas diss everyone in rapper except pun. He even said pun was nicer than him.Get your knowledge up. You too young to be talking about rap with me. I got too much shit to do. To be babbling back to back with you about why killa is ass. He made NY look bad with that pink shit. Fuck lyrics cam has killed his own career. What is the last song when he proclaim the throne and people felt him?…. Don’t worry i will wait….Since “That’s me”….. Fuck it been like 6 years since SDE, that was the classic album.Come home with me is commercial.Purple haze well was good but it didn’t see the light of day. Killa season is a fucking JOKE. How you gonna rhyme half ass on the album where you getting at Hova at? That is his problem he is good but he think he too good. Fuck it i’m done with this killa nonsense yall dipset fans is annoying.It like arguing with my lil niece about how santa isn’t real.

    @I’m selling oranges I know LOL but at least we understand eachother. We gave hip hop a rib and this is what we get? Anybody that ever has read the bible knows what i mean.

    @Everybody yall must be Ye and Wayne promotion team. I never knew kanye got this much love. Yall most live in the burbs. Niggaz in the hood like Ye but he don’t get this much love.As got wayne fans … yall are annoying like dipset fans.But at least yall man is putting in work like he is the best. I feel wayne he is on his wayne to being great i ain’t gonna front. As for em … encore is a disappointment like Killa season. But em is coming back … so i wanna see if he can reign again.Hopefully i get slim shady back … Not that other guy Mr. Mathers

Like a fitted caps when they first came out. Dog tags and ect,ect. How you gonna get emotional about this nigga? You know damn well with every jigga fan that a cam hater is waiting in the mist. Frankly i don’t care about none of them even though i think jay-z better. But you sitting here getting upset why? Cause people don’t feel cam? Com’on i find most of these people as list a joke. When i said that i am done with arguing about this shit. Cause i really don’t have time to go back to back cause i’m at work. Shit , i’m about to get off now but who cares (I DO YEEEEEEEEAH) LOL.Anyways don’t be sitting here getting mad cause noone feels like your mans. You feel him and that all that counts. I think he fucked up his own career with his mouth and his attitude towards rap. He used to love rapper now he thinks he too good for it. That why i figured he raps lazy and use line that a baby drooling would spit better. That it though i’m done with this subject.

Those r people u would pick if its best MC’s of ALL-TIME, unfortunately, those legends have been dead 4 a while now, so they cant be best in the game NOW. Jay’s a legend, and is probably done with rap, he’s more of an entrepreneur. And Nas has fell off the map drastically from what he used to be. His last 2 releases prove my point. Scream At Me!!!!!

    1. Nas(I’d have to write an essay to d justice to this man’s skill.)- In short, he is the complete lyricist- Killa wordplay, storytelling, inpirational songs, street anthems, punchlines, ability to vividly paint a picture with words. thats a good lyricist

What does weezy do mainly features … He cant hold Joell Ortiz luggage lyrically…. Nor fabo nor banks nor damm i would be here all day……Overrated… BY the way can the youth of today get there head out there ass and take time to hear and break down lyrics….Thats what HipHop is all about …Lyrical and i mean lyrical content…Say something to make me rewind….Whats so hard about using your brain…..Or is hey baby all the youth can get this days……Leland Legends

    LMAO @ Dylan !!! But if i really want to get this right my top 5 choice would be as follows and they are in no particular order …..

    1)Lil Wayne – I mean,this nigga is the in the studio 24/7 making otha peoples tracks sound better! Dont deny it…

    2)Common – As real and underrated as they get.

    3)Nas – Hate him or love him but he speaks that wisdom and real shit from the streets. You cannot compete.

    4)(old) Jay Z – I mean his last album to me was way too commercial for my Jay z taste. But he still get wit these young niggaz in the industry now.

    5)Andre 3000 & Big Boi – Cant nobody hate on these niggaz, especially Dre…I mean they complete one another in a lyrical sense. The best 14 years and counting

    P.S If you dont know who in the hell Big L is, then you have muthafu(kin problems my nigga !! And niggaz stop saying 50,Lloyd and yayo..they wack ass niggaz…the best person in the entire G-Unit camp is Young Buck and young buck only!
