RA the Rugged Man asks which MC is most lyrical

[theheavens]

"Out of these three MC's who is the most LYRICAL: Notorious B.I.G, KRS-1 or GZA?"

he posted it on his fb and made it seem like a hardy boys mystery, but I think it's obvious who it is. most of his fans voted for GZA, but RA thinks it's KRS

[JASPER BEARDLY]

somewhat relevant to this discussion

redman says the top two mcs of all time (or maybe storytelling, i was told this from someone so idk first hand) are slick rick and krs

[MaskedAvenger]

They are all good in their own ways, but personally KRS has always been my fav

[NIGHT MAYOR]

if its lyrical ima say gza

krs is a better emcee but gza shits on krs one lyricaly im sorry.

[theheavens]

one user said it best: "Biggie is the storyteller, KRS the teacher, and GZA the abstract"

[Willis]

Why is there always debate over who is the greatest ever? All three of these MCs are great in their own right, no point in trying to compare or contrast any of them, if you listed to Liquid Swords, Ready to Die, Return of the Boom Bap or Criminal Minded then you can hear that these 3 MCs are all different styles and sound but all 3 are great.

GZA man

[JASPER BEARDLY]

depends what you're after for who you think is the best

i think the question is who is the best lyrically, not the best mc

i'd have to say krs for the best mc of the three, as he has an incredible discography, dope live, and as he calls himself is the embodiment of hip hop

gza is the most lyrical tho

cormega said recently that biggie was a sick rapper, not really a lyricist. he continued tho that on his second album he showed he could be a lyricist if he wanted.

[RUSHING PLATYPUS]

I'd have to go with Gza. KRS is very lyrical, but his voice is mad annoying to me. Don't really care that much for him as an artist. Maybe the fact that I'm not feeling him for that reason has an affect on my opinion on his lyricism. Hard to say. Biggie had a great voice and sick flow, but, imo wasn't as lyrical as the other two.
