-Yela, Raekwon, they are definitely missing, a verse from TMR should be on the list.
-Tech N9ne, it's only my opinion but his insane flow isn't an excuse for his poor lyricism. he may have cool verses, but that doesn't make them good. Most of his bars are filled with convoluted messages and poor grammar.
-Kendrick, well, he's already on the list, hiiipower is a great song, music is about feeling and this song has some quotable lines but his delivery, the transition between different rhythmic levels, his lyrics and the way he rides the beat on maad city >>>>>>> any verse from Hiiipower.
Nas: A verse from Life is good should be on the list, A Queens Story or Nasty are very well structured verses and both of them are full of great lines.
“I come from the Wheel of Ezekiel/To pop $1,000 bottles of scotch, smoke pot, and heal the people”
Some technical rappers dont have a message in their songs, and some rappers can have a message, but cant rap.
Some rappers on the list found the perfect balance and some of them shouldn't be considered as mainstream rappers tbh
