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 .

truGambit:

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.

2rhymestharap: Dumb post.. Wack decision... You just posted the names you know and only Mode-Nine , Terry , Overdose I cal lyricist the rest are jonzers...

Olamide wey say hin just dey shout up n down with wack primary rhymes?

2shortz? U dumb? I prefer wack yung6ix over dat b oring rapper...

6footplus dead career? Wy u no put Elajoe abi dagrin instd of am

Vector has wordplays always looking for what to say next after few rhymes... Nd its always wordplays "No attack, No doppe bars" just "If I "DRAW" gun.. Yours be "PENCILS" he is good no doubt but much wordplays no Punchlines, multies, poor opener... He aint a lyricisit

Where is BOOGEY? AQ? Xo senavoe? Blaze? Bleep dis post.. Na "wizkid" "davido" fans pots dis...d

Tinyemeka:

For you to list Olamide and not include Phyno has indicated a FUNDAMENTAL PARADIGM fault in your rationale.

truGambit:

Really Joel Ortiz murdered both of em on that track....just as sarkodie murdered him on "shots on shots".ice prince is a rapper....not a lyricist...he confuses himself on d track.....I respect or list....no offence but I think u ain't really a rap head....u r more in tune with new rappers...how can yungsix b on ur list of best lyricist of all tyms?
