So this thread is simple. Who are some of the best lyricists in music?
I am going to start off with a rapper. Lupe Fiasco is a very underrated artist who works wonders with words. He is like a poet, laying lyrics down on the beat that are enough to astonish a man. He can just put down sick rhymes like this:

Those words are like poetry, I swear. He just drops ill stuff there. He can also tell a great story, as evidenced here.

This guy is amazing with his lyrics and they deserve to be recognized. While maybe not one of the best all time, he is one of the best today and came to mind when making this thread. Next time I drop by I'll try to drop a rocker in.
