Who's the greatest lyrical rapper EVER?!


Question: Who's the greatest lyrical rapper EVER!?
I dont see anyone even somewhat close to Tupac!. In the rap game, It's Tupac _ and then everybody else!. I'll argue about the second best All day!. But number one, I wont even discuss it!. TUPAC, yesterday, today, last week, last month, last decade, everyday, all day, and until the end of time!. So who do you think is the best!?
- But, if you aint saying Tupac, my friend you have some serious issues!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Immortal Technique

"And if you speak about the evil that the government does
The Patriot Act'll track you to the type of your blood
They try to frame you, and say you was tryna sell drugs
And throw a federal indictment on n#$$$# to show you love
This s#$$ is run by fake Christians, fake politicians
Look at they mansions, then look at the conditions you live in
All they talk about is terrorism on television
They tell you to listen, but they don't really tell you they mission
They funded Al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion
Even though Bin Laden, was a CIA tactician
They gave him billions of dollars, and they funded his purpose
Fahrenheit 9/11, that's just scratchin' the surface"Www@Enter-QA@Com

Rakim, 2pac is only mortal but Rakim is God!. You are a moron if you think 2pac is the best and Rakim is not 2nd!. Rakim invented modern Rap, he is the f-ing Moses of Rap, and The Chronic is Jesus Christ, Tupac is just Luke, the person who wrote the best testament!.

Damn the person above me beat me to it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i think lyrically i would say either Nas or immortal Technique!. man you got read these guys's lyrics, especially nas he is whack!. i am like 2pac's #1 fun ever, i own all his albums, tracks, posters, poems, almost anything from him lol!.2pac is the best rapper, he rapped on all subjects, thats he appealed to many different people!. his lyrics are whack but not the greatest!. still tho, he rhymes and flows like crazy

Why ask the question and then hate on all the answers!? Just because your realm of artists isn't wide enough to be familiar with all the MC's named doesn't mean you have to hate on some of them!. These are opinions just like yours!.
Don't ask such a broad question if you're only point of reference is Tupac, who is a good artist if you like that type of rap, but isn't even really considered a hip hop lyricist!. He told nice stories and gave messages of either hope or how it was in the streets, but where is the lyricism!?!?
He didn't use metaphors and simile to create pictures in your mind of what he rapped about!.!.he doesn't have a bunch of ill lines in his repetoire!.!.!.he was basic in his level of creativity, he just had enough mass appeal and popularity to reach alot of people, and alot of people related to what he said so they love his music!.

I nominate Black Thought, Nas, Ghostface, Common and KRS-One in a tie!. They all have classic examples of strong lyricism and could rap Tupac 6 feet deeper in their sleep!.

EDIT: Record sales = popularity, which is what I mentioned earlier!. Lyricism and popularity are two different things!. This is why your better lyricists are usually little known, because complexity in music is harder to market, which would explain how Pac isn't a real lyricist!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
