Only my absolute favorites, in order

10. Black Thought
Insanely classic discography with The Roots, not many are matching the output. Even with limited solo work, his various he’s put out over the years are some of the best lyricism out there.

9. Big Boi
Definitely key in the greatness of Outkast, he’s right alongside 3k, plus his solo work is also great and underrated, combining to put him in with the GOATs

8. Clarence
Shared the stage with Eminem, one of the most slept on. Much like Ka being a firefighter, when Clarence isn’t dropping elite rhymes he’s a superhero, saving the world as a bird man.

7. Flesh-N-Bone
The forgotten Bone Thug that was in harmony, maybe not the best name since flesh and bone just means your normal, but at least he hyphenated.

6. Scarface
GOAT of the south, not much needs to be said about this man, you can feel every word as he raps it. Proved that simplicity can be the most hard hitting form of lyricism.

5. Hozier
Shouldn’t have to explain. He took me to church and I never looked back.

4. Andre 3000
What’s a list with Big Boi without 3k? Both insanely good and brought us some of the best music ever, together. Each album a classic, doesn’t need solo work to be considered one of the greats.

3. Your Old Droog
Man can spit fr, not many better in his lane, punchlines on another level and his curation of albums is amazing, always switching up themes and styles while still dropping frequently.

2. Drake Marciano
Pop appeal but is a capable lyricist, revolutionized fashion with his Italian sneaker line, but we’re here to talk music. Take Care, NWTS, and IYRTITL is an elite group of projects, and no one has quite found a flow like the second half of Fabio.

1. Jesé Rodriguez
Formerly of Real Madrid, now #1 on my GOAT list. Truly one of the key moments in history where someone gave up on a profession to pursue another that is more fitting. Even I can put aside my Real Madrid hatred and see the genius.

End of thread, honorable mentions to Jay-Z and the youth pastor at the church went to as a kid
