Most Lyrical Rap Song

Lose Yourself deserves no less than the number 1 spot! FR!

The MOST inspiring lyric

Goat.

A lot of people believe Eminem is overrated, but they often admit that this is a great song. I personally like his later music as well, but people for some reason tend to go all hipster on it and talk about how stuff before 2005 is so much better, so here you have it, the greatest rap song off all time.

This guy was 19 when he released this album

Holdin' an M-16, see with the pen I'm extreme
Now, bullet holes left in my peep holes
I'm suited up with street clothes
Hand me A.9 and I'll defeat foes
Y'all know my steelo
With or without the airplay

Nas is the best

Nas is the Greatest Rapper of All Time, I don't know why, but when I listen to Nas, I feel that everyone other rapper is just massively overrated and that the people who think those rappers are the best don't know rap and are just biased...

Such a masterpiece, beautiful and disgusting at the same time.

Number 1 for sure

Best song

Incredible word choice, flow and lyricism in general. A masterfully told story with deep subliminal and direct meaning.

The best ever to do it better

Best song ever... Em is Em... but Nas did it pure... no other song is on par with this

This song is genius,

One mic 11th seriously, it should be second to stan not 11th what are yaw'll smoking

Absolutely The Very Best Haha:-)

The alliteration and imagery in this? Talk about poetry, this is it.

I'm sick of psychotic society somebody save me
Addicted to drama so even mama couldn't raise me
Even the preacher and all my teachers couldn't reach me
I run in the streets and puffin weed wit my peeps
I'm duckin the cop, I hit the weed as I'm clutchin my glock
Niggaz is hot when I hit the block, what if I die tonight

So real

Best lyrics of all time

One of the few rappers to talk about actual problems not just sex drugs...

As terms of lyrical this song deserves to be much higher, along with Nas and biggie and Em

Way better than the others above it except dance with the devil

Common is a great lyricist! This song was definitely the greatest hip hop song of all time

YES! MOVE THIS TO TOP TEN! - THICCBOI

Listen to the first bar - Iam_rsdxii

This one hits had. I like this better than NY State of Mind. Universally relatable. - JoLeKosovo

Life's a bitch and then ya die, that's why we get high

From the first line to the last line, pure despair and emotion. A real trip down memory lane. - JoLeKosovo

The absolute flow and lyricism while still telling a story and sticking to the theme of GKMC! Amazing!

Greatest rapper alive today.

Best and realest song out there! Shows a lot about Kendrick and his skills he has!

Great song, Nas is a lyrical genius

Best lyrical song ever
I'm not a Lupe fan but this is a masterpiece
We're all chemicals...

This has to be the greatest lyrical submission of all time.

One of the most lyrical songs ever

Murder is a tough thing to digest
It's a slow process
And I ain't got nothing' but time
I had near brushes, Not to mention
3 Shots close range, Never touch me, devine intervention
Can't stop I
From drinkin Ma-Tai's
With Ta Ta
Down in Nevada
Ha-ha, Poppa, word life
I dabled in crazy weight
Without rap I was crazy straight
Patnah I'm still gettin money from 88

Most people don't realize the deep layers in this song. Soulja Boy weaves various Shakespearian storytelling techniques and cleaver metaphors to create arguably the most lyrical rap song ever concieved.

AMAZING! The beat is hardly anything if you listen. But you don't notice cause he engages you with his flawless lyricism

He virtually killed this

How lyrical could he be on MMLP? Man, amazes me to hell and back.

One of the sweetest rap songs ever. And one of his top two best songs in my opinion. Ths song deserves more recognition... LISTEN TO THIS SONG people YOU WONT REGRET IT!

WAIT THIS IS NOT IN TOP 5 BRING THIS HIGHER - THICCBOI

No rap expert by any means,a soundtrack to downtown l.a. In the 80,s summed up the mood of the inner cities perfectly,still relevant today.

How is this so low? Punchline king hits hard on this.

Summer is too short!

This is one FIRE track!
Give it a listen if you haven't guys.

R.A. 's verse is more lyrical than all of these combined.

Best song ever

Can't believe this song isn't in top 10. Come on guys vote and get this song up next to dance with the devil

Best lyrical song ever! Amazing and so lyrical. Nas the best rapper ever.

The story he tells is tragic and he puts it in a way that expresses how miserable he feels.

In my opinion it is a better song than DWTD.

Legendary song legendary album one of the greatest rappers of all time. And most influential
