The most lyrical album of all time? - Page 3 - Wu-Tang Corp. - Official Site of the Wu-Tang Clan

Big L? Seriously..he's overrated when it comes to punchlines and his subject matter was always poor. Nothing against the dude, he had some interesting concepts and he had ill punchlines but overall lyrically? No.

Masters of the Universe by Binary Star, The Best Part by J-Live and Blazing Arrow by Blackalicious are up there.

everything else has been mentioned and/or forgotten because from 90-2000s there was an overwhelming amount of material to call "top lyrical album"

werd I always thought black thought was underrated it's almost like he's not considered a rapper cause the roots is a band but he can rip a mic apart

i can see what you saying because you don't care for the dude he's not lyrical

you sounding crazy right now

Illmatic is a strong contender, but Big Pun's debut is a lyrical feast as well. he had the biggest vocabulary of any MC. Biggie was a dope lyricist, but the biggest words he used were "and" and "the." Pun was on a whole new level. in his Legacy documentary, they said he read the entire dictionary

I was asking about lyrics, if I wasn't I would be naming albums like 3 Feet High And Rising, The Low End Theory and Aquemini

in the last few years, id have to say Reks is one of the illest lyricists and rhymers in general, dude spits some ill bars. dude deserves more props

grey hairs shows that but R.E.K.S is def one of my favourite joints in a long time

Those may define lyricism differently than others, but this should get a mention hands down. This shit was and still is fire. I can't remember a lot of the time when I first heard an album from an artist that got me interested, but I know EXACTLY when and where I was when I first heard Death Certificate

Cube's delivery and charisma is untouchable, I know he's at a different stage of his career right now, but back then I'd consider him heavyweight champ as a solo artists during this time.

^ It's hard to argue with a catalog of this caliber.
