Damn, that's a really bad list. Eminem is lyrical talent, but his new album is a pop album.
Big L is without a doubt the most talent rapper to ever grasp a mic, If he was never shot dead in 99' he would be the largest rapper today. He would be where Jay-z is right now, just not a sellout.
Here are some lryics form a track called "I Don't Understand It"
