...no...Slim can work with words, he is up there but not the greatest....50 isnt even close....and Pacs music was more about a message and less about lyrics...meaning he wasnt a lyricist, he was an emcee..... sorry but i'm sick of people like 50 gettin waaay too much credit...nothing personal

and to Content Flowz....THANK YOU for pointing out saul williams...i wouldnt really consider him a rapper, more of a poet...but i'm glad u pointed him out, the man needs more recognition...

as far as my favorites...
Gift Of Gab (Blackalicious)
BlackThought (The Roots)
Latyrx
Mr. Lif
Atmosphere
Illogic
and Akrobatik
