    its hard to answer this question because Rappers change over time, I would say the top lyricist are Illmatic Nas, Soul On Ice Ras Kass, and Internal Affairs Pharoahe Monche, but none of them are the Rappers they were when that album came out, either they grew as artist or began to take a different approach to their music.

    if on the spur of a moment i had to name one it'd be nas, or rakim not sure which, but in terms of lyrical consistency it may be ras kass, idk man thats a tough question.

    big pun...................man uuummmmm i know some one is gonna try to say tupac or biggie. Ima just throw this out there. There is a difference between being a good lyricist and really feeling an artist's style or message. When people post they really need to think past who they like. You could like the giants but if partiots beat them how could say giants are a better team? Sales don't mean shit. 90% of people buying main stream shit don't even like underground, or positive, or lyrical tracks so don't say someone sold more....Just something to think about. Also, this depends on time period as someone said earlier.
    my name stands heavy globally cuz i sat-a-light//


    I'll flood hell's gates with an army of darkness-
    so i can "awe some" with "awe Dios"! oh God my rawness-
