Deciphering lyrics n cracking punchlines have always been one fascination for me. Most people sit n listen to music just for the beat n catchy jingle like lyrics....nahh....none of those crapy ish, commercial BS for me....
Once upon a tym,it used to b all foreign hip hop krooners;nas,Talib kwali, common, the notorious , immortal techniquetupac ,a tribe called quest, bone thugs n harmony , mos def,(now I CNT even remember some names).....
These cats dropped punchlines n murdered beats faster than assassins on a killing spree. A pure blend of fiery word play,sick punchlines, braggadicio , n sher genius is wat u get whenever u press play.
Over the years hip hop has evolved in Nigeria. Though a lot of wack emcees have also emerged(wudnt call names to avoid wahala)....some real emcees have kept their own.some made It to d mainstream,some remained underground .These rappers in more ways than none have over time caught our ears with their genius lyrics, crazy lines n freestyles.....here's a list of my favourite 9ja lyricist of all tyms.pls feel free to drop ur own list .

10:six-foot-plus
9.overdose
8.2shortz
7.ikechukwu aka killz
6.olamide
5.M.I
4.Jesse jagz
3.vector tha piper
2.terry tha rapman
1.mode nine

I like this... No partial @ all... Mode 9 be baba... Some will even think that baddoo should be d 1st... Everything is not showing(million na san fun wa fun show ki n shey thousand) wetin concern me... Mtcheew

If Phyno isn't there the list is BullShlt

chaberry: If Phyno isn't there the list is BullShlt

Phyno is a new artiste....has he dropped more albums than any of the niggas listed.he is Gud...prolly the best now....but playa,a true lyrical genius has to repeat itself...no one hit/album wonder
....ice prince didn't even make my cut.....so think about the lyrical depth n strength here.....n this isn't a list for just one year...its of all times......n by d way...do gud to drop ur list

A good musician don't need 2 drop many albums 2 prove him/herself, many artistes both local nd abroad have make names 4 themselves just by droppin a couple of gud music tracks, talkless of an album

Playa,obviously u don't kno wat hip hop n rap is about.relevance is key.like I said phyno is gud,am a huge fan.....overdose dropped only one commercially successful album n went ryt back to d underground.no foreign artiste had one album or single n remained relevant.....talk more being referred to as a lyricist. Jayz has had 14number1 albums.....kanye has dropped 6....Ricky has 5.....who remembers young buck or the great pappose .....a true lyricist stays relevant.give phyno one more year before adding him to the greatest lyricist of all times.

Yea,modenine still the best, he is doing music for the Art,Nigga aint rich like other rappers, but he got mad flows, Good lyrical content.
