    No offence to Kold, but your poll annoyed me. :D

    Anyway, I think that in general these would be considered better lyricists. So, make your choice.

    Has anyone heard Gangstarr's new album "The Ownerz"? In my opinion, it's the best hip-hop album to come out for a long number of years. Not one bad track on it. Stand out tracks for me though, are "In this life" , "Zoning", and "Deadly Habits". Top drawer stuff from premo and gurizzy.

    Personally I think 2nas a terrible lyricist, as are all of J5, where lyricist to me means the songs you write, not its delivery ( i don't like 2nas voice anyway but thats another thread), all their tracks are very samey, and even his guest appearances on other albums smack of unoriginal lines...

    I couldnt think of anyone to finish off the list tbh.
    And I just stuck 2na there because I like his delivery. Don't complain it could have been Del the Funky Homosapian and I know how you love him. ;)

    Aesop imho is by far the best writer out of the bunch of them.

    But for delivery...hmm, maybe KRS or Manuva could be better.
