His lyrics paint a solid picture and when you listen to them you feel like you’ve been through the same that he was through just because his lyrics are so heavy. They carry so much weight behind them and they pack a heavy punch. Never say Eminem has gone soft. Best lyricist hands down. The Sauce, Brain Damage, Almost famous (Uses longest word in dictionary), Rock Bottom, 313, Renegade, No apologies and so many more. Eminem’s a legend and I can’t see him being surpassed anytime soon.

Nas is the greatest lyrical rapper of all time. Just listen to “It ain’t hard to tell”, “Halftime”, well certainly the whole album of Illmatic. You will need no more proof after that. If you are really stubborn just listen to his other albums. His flows and rhymes are untouchable. No question about it. Nas is a natural phenomenon he is so unique with his flow and he will always be the greatest rapper of all times and his rap makes a lot of sense as compared to other rappers.
