The "conscious" label being disingenuous aside, who's the superior rapper and overall lyricist ?



(don't let it flop as hard as I think it will)

[Kingfisher]

nas
but either kanye or mos def from these options

[MinajMeBeyonce]

Kid Cudi

[madonnas]

I wouldn't consider kanye or kid cudi conscious aside from maybe a few songs, common is the best lyricist on that list anyway though so him

[Callum]

of the ones you've listed i'd only consider common and mos def 'conscious' rappers. they're in a totally different league altogether as far as poeticism, social consciousness and lyrical intelligence go

after them i guess it'd be kanye. as much as i love drake and enjoy cudi and wale, none of them belong in this discussion at all. unless merely rapping about your feelings is the type of "conscious" rapper you were referring to.
