Tales of the pots.. mad jam, reminds me of his song Cry.. from Malcolm IX to pentium IX, El plaribus till date modo till the best lyricist..

You puttin Jesse ahead of MI shows u a gud listener of rap music... Buh for 2shotz and killz, I'm not too sure, reminisce and Mr. Raw can replace them. But aside that the list looks real good to me.. Gud job dawg

truGambit: 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 .

Quiet insightful but I disagree with 2shotz being on that list.
Re: Top Ten Nigerian Lyricist Of All Times by DoctorTim: 8:30am On Jul 16, 2014
OP u claim to have a grip on the HipHop naija scene but made a few bloopers on your list, still your ego's not gonna make u own up. Dagrin, Reminisce should definitely be on that list. Killz, 2shotz, even 6Foot+ by the criteria u put out shldnt even make the cut. Double standards eh? U should have simply said.. list of my favorite Nigerian rappers. Lyrically, 2shotz ain't shit. Same for Killz. And U did well by not putting iceprince cos any. HipHop topic I see his name on I go in real critically. He's not a HipHop head no more atleast. Than again.. sometimes we take this HipHop thing too deep... its a borrowed culture and form of musical expression, we will never master the art. I appreciate Nigerian rappers and underground heads that do it for the love..and for the paper, but we should take it easy on them because it's not easy staying relevant 5 album strong. Even the greats fall off.. See Yasin Bey for example.
