Young6 or Erigga opt to be on that list.....

Nonsense! There is hardly any reigning musician in Nigeria that has good lyrics. What you call lyrics can best be described as rhymes. Take one of Timaya's lines, for example,
" leave me make I fill my glass,
me and you no dey the same class,
Holy Ghost dey by my side and him carry big cutlass." In that line, you will notice "s" in glass, class and cutlass. These words don't correlate in the song. In fact they are meaningless.
Remove the names on that list and put: Ebenezer Obey, I. K. Dairo, Osita Osadebe, Rex Lawson, Orlando Owoh, Ayinla Omowura, Bill Friday, Morocco Maduka, etc.

M.I is better than mode9 cause M.I is more versertile

2shotz ke!overdose bawo! My top nigerian lyricist are Asha,Lagbaja,Bez,cobhams and darey. I dont know when only rappers can be lyricists. Stupid lyrics with no good message nor concept they(top ten) all have.

Bro...nice write up but if you really are a rap person and likes underground rap,you will know olamide is not suppose 2 be on that list. Modo,jesse jagz superb choice. Have u ever listened to base one,syko,terry da rap man,loose kaynon,reminisce.u will understand. Its deeply rooted.

truGambit:
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

I totally disagree with u, Nas' first album Illmatic won a grammy, and since then he's been seen as a rap genius..

1 Jesse Jagz
2 Mode 9
3 Vector
4 MI
5 Boogey
6 Sinzu
7 Phenom
8 Yung6ix
9 Loose K
10 Terry d rapman
Buh Jagz is the greatest!!

Ehm... Where is illbliss n Dagrin if d title of d topic is truely "...OF ALL TIME" (alive or dead)

true talk

Where is my boyfriend Phyno??

igwedaboss:

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

Thanks playa....well noted...wud need ur input on my next listing....

hayoakins: I only came to check if Modenine made the first position, else; i would have called 911 for you

No need to dawg
Mode nine comes first second and third....lol

tsolz84: Hey dude;pls try and listen to tracks like--"Swange;E don do me;That meaningless rap song ;Ainya;I Am;Fake people;Carry Go etc.."..thank me later

Dude....u r a true lyricist.six foot plus is a legendary story teller....but these new kids wuddnt know having been introduced to rap by phyno n olamide.......

PETERANDRE:

its love joint and not love jones bro.

Davinci mode track 18 love Jones

truGambit:

Word.your drugs like that.got a few mode nine songs for u....songs that never had air play but real dope

1.regular guy
2.love Jones
3.tales of the pots
4.Ogun isoye
5.360 poetry

At bolded.. That track madt gan, i could remember that some years ago when he said inside the track that one of the guy went to juju man to collect charm in order to know book...

Neldrizzy: No disrespect bro.. If you called Olamide a hip hip artists then yu must be joking, if he made the list then iceprince, should be there.. ( am a hug fan of olamide) where is Khali Abdul, Loose kaynon, yung6ix, poe, phenom . i need answers pls

Olamide has dropped real hip hop joints.here're a few for u to download:
1.voice of the street
2.industreet ft reminesce(who didn't make my list,lacks consistency)
3.lights in the air ft buckwylla
They didn't have commercial airplay but check out the lyrical contents brah

Good list i must admit. But im disappointed not seeing Reminisce name on that list.Olamide has the hype and swag but Reminisce's lyrics and punch lines are 5 star i tell ya.No other indigenous rapper comes close

pankere: Good list i must admit. But im disappointed not seeing Reminisce name on that list.Olamide has the hype and swag but Reminisce's lyrics and punch lines are 5 star i tell ya.No other indigenous rapper comes close

Apparently too many peeps r feeling reminesce .....I don't doubt his lyrical skills....prolly pay more attention to him

You forgot to mention VIC-O.

Ahahahahahahahha!

oparahchi: You forgot to mention VIC-O.

Ahahahahahahahha!

O boy ....Vic.O y evils......worst rap song ever....like wat was that nigga smoking....

Personally I disagree with 8-9-10. I see why Boogie and Phenom shouldnt be in this list. Even young6 can struggle to enter . like I said, personally

runzlord: abeg no spoil my morning and move MI TO number 2 hw can a rasterfaran be better than a rapper. and vector? dont get me wrong listen to all these rappers I listen too all their songs. mi vec mode 9. phyno olamide even if I dont understand any launguage. if u tell me vector is not good I can argue with u that he is indeed very very good. but haba MI is the best. but pple do not listen to him then therefore hate him. the op just put his name there cos he know we would ask. ask the op how many mi songs he knows. It will not pass the popular ones. u just wake up one morning and drop ur useless opinon

Dude y bite urself?m.I aint as drug as Jesse or modo....as for knowing only the popular songs....I don't have to prove anything.....n as for "useless opinion".......really?mode 9's "regular guy" is a clear reason y he is at d top of my list....

kaybee88:


olodo u don't know the meaning of lyricist.
