That one is great but I think Loaded Lux’s from that station is better

pretty sure this comes down to personal taste, and i won't deny that Lux was fantastic, but there's something about the pace, topic, density, and intelligence of BT's lyrics that just hooks me.

Now they got me in a cell, cuz my records they sell, cuz a brother like me said well...

That's some **** right there.

You will probably like this one too, check out how they do the scratches on their guitars:

I have too many favorite rappers and I would hate it having to pick just one.

I think Mobb Deep deserves another mention here just because so many of their hit raps they first wrote when they were 18 and 19. Think about what you were doing at that age and how you're still impressed by what they wrote at that age when you're so much older...

And then, top ranking as well, would be Royce da 5'9....for the same 3 reasons.

And D12.....

I'm not a huge rap fan but anyone that links censored versions of songs should get a 3-5 day vacation from posting.

Royce is crazy good and deserves to be more well known.

There might be some deeper meaning that I'm missing but nah.

Any gang on 6th street could shoot some dice in a studio for 3 hours and do better.

3 - Lyrical density and varied vocabulary. He's one of the toppers on this list (https://pudding.cool/projects/vocabulary/index.html). Deltron 3030 is still one of the densest albums of all time, nearly 20 years later and I still listen to it (though I didn't discover Del until college). Del himself says he now has trouble performing those tracks live because he can't remember all of the lyrics without a notepad.

Extra Credit - He took a psychedelic hiatus from music for an entire year to focus on consuming hallucinogens.
