Immortal Technique ain't lyrical. And to the dude hating on Redman being on there; listen to his first few albums.

Most rappers on that list are hardly lyrical, though. I don't care for any list that don't have Pharoahe Monch, Ras Kass, Redman or Tash in the top 15, but still has all these washed up or outdated cats (Rakim, Ice Cube, Chuck D, KRES-One... there's nothing impressive about being good FOR A MID '80S RAPPER) or shitty rappers who wouldn't know a metaphor if it slapped them in the face (Lil Wayne, Lil Kim, most rappers)

Wait.....Lil Kim is on here? I know there's a few duds on this list but I genuinely didn't think anyone rated Lil Kim.

Redman is ok nothing more. He's a good spitter but not a great lyricist which is what this list is about.
