I remember Supernatural battled someone in the finals of the Wake-Up Show tournament, forgot who. Basically, on his second go he refused to spit due to the beat not being to his liking. So they changed it for him.I think that's pretty lame, though when he DID rhyme he killed it. I recall him rhyming in the voice of Notorious B.I.G. Though the guy he was battling had some great lines.

juice is a better freestyler than supernat, better emcee altogether. ask anyone who freestyles, it all depends who dope on that day, any rapper would tell you that. who does a gimmick to win a battle, i thought that was weak, let alone the beat change. when it comes down to it supernatural was consistent the whole way through, juice had a better last round though, so it could have gone either way.
wordsworth, killah priest, mr lif and prime are great lyricists as well, i dont think anyone mentioned them.
I havent heard much from Wordsworth, only a guest spot on Twice inna lifetime off BlackStar's album. He torn it up though, arguably the best verse on the track.
Gotta agree with Lif, I Phantom touches on so many topics its incredible. Havent heard much from Killah Priest and Prime but you have good taste Phat so i'll have to check them out.
Anyone know if Supastition is a good freestyler? his album punchlines are so dope that im sure he could make a grown man cry in a battle.
theres a chance you might not like prime, but you should definitely look into one of killah priest's albums and wordsworths, they're all good. ill post some of my favs from them in a little while.
now just to make sure im clear on this, what makes a good lyricist are the words they rhyme with right? and a great lyricist would be someone who takes a subject and and raps about it while having dope rhymes too?

No you're not. I regularly quiz dudes I know who love all this gangsta rap revival shit, and they haven't a clue who he is. **** em anyway, Soul On Ice = incredible lyrical achievement.
I just got Masters of the Universe, Senim and One Be Lo are a great tandem.
Absolutely. Although my favorite Binary track is Slang Blade, which is a Senim solo. He tears it to raggedy little shreds.
I'd say Gift of Gab as best overall. Lyrically and flow wise, he's right at the top and Chemical Calisthenics leads me to believe he would be one of the few on this planet who could keep up with Aphex Twin's mind numbing beats. Too bad that collabo will never happen.
I like Illogic and Vast Aire as best lyric wise.
alright well by taht reasoning primes just a good emcee, all he talks about is violence and how dope he is. 😂
killah priest - one step

prime w/ verbal, pugzlee atoms and qwel - mad sick

verbal has a crazy verse on that track^

Gab's voice irritates me. I know it's impossible to sound fat, but he kinda does. Sound like a fat guy, that is. Call me weird.Good lyricist though 😄
Well he is fat.
I like his voice, though. Very smooth and clear.
Now Vinnie Paz voice sounds like a mad fat guy who has 5 Big Mac's stuck in his mouth.

Yeah...exactly 😕
And Paz...his teeth are crazy too, he's missing like five. Probably from where Jus Allah smacked him (not). I liked him better when he was still Skinnie Paz on Psycho-Social. He had quite a cute lil lisp thing going on. Don't tell him I said that though, he might stick a crucifix through my cervix or something.

Just pointing out the obvious, work with me.👀
Yeah, he was quite good on Psycho-Social. Then he started to get all gangster and fat, and it all went down hill. Maybe he can get on an Aktins Diet and watch Barney for two weeks and become a nicer, sweeter Vinnie Paz.

Haha, I know what you mean, but I don't mind his voice... It's soothing, actually. 😍
But anyways, I'd have to say Gab too, his freestyling is inhumanly fast, and his lyrics are great. They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 😊
Vinnie Paz is a beast shock
I tried to find the lyrics and it seemed they were nowhere, but I figured I'd post them. Some of my favourite lines are in it:
"Houston to Earth, watch the Ripper crucify you with verse.
My urethra to ya' uvula quenches ya' thirst.
Put ya' flames out with dry desert dirt, where leopards lurk.
Lock ya' soul down wit' a esoteric weapons search.
Strap a bomb to one of ya' labels’ record clerks and activate it as soon as they get to work.
Ring the alarm, red alert nigga it gets worse.
Bypass security networks with select words.
Megahertz make nebulas reverse till ya' head bursts.
Call the press first and ask 'em 'Who got the best verse?!'
Gimmie the respect I deserve.
If you are what you eat, it's obvious I can't eat what I'm worth.
Ya'll niggaz eat pussy and burp.
The other half of ya'll suck dick till ya' jaws and ya' neck hurt.
When you address me, nigga end ya' sentence with 'sir'.
Critics went berserk and they ain’t even heard my best work.
See I broke into they mind by quietly goin thru they eardrum walls and hotwired they skulls.
Yeah I earned the name Canibus but what did it cost?
Battle rap is nothing but a serendipitous whore.
Niggaz probably be like 'What the f*ck he dissin' him for?'
Yeah he dissed me first but you were never informed.
I'm one of the top 5 nigga, my shit is tight nigga.
You heard it right nigga, I rock mics nigga.
But the limelight isn't were I belong.
The top four don't even look in the mirror no more.
If they did, I’d be in the mirror lookin' back at ‘em.
Ready to grab 'em, kidnap 'em, then put 'em on my album.
I rip jackers, rip the time-space fabric, loop the future with the past tense lookin' for patterns.
Eradicate Africans that sold Africans to Saxons and forced the blackmen pay taxes.
Attack a wack b*tch with counter-tactics.
Split ya' bullet proof chassis in half wit' a rapid gatlin'.
Keep firin' at ya' till you trapped in.
Non-combatants scramble for helicopter extraction.
While I'm back at Fort Bragg braggin', how I tortured them faggots and stabbed 'em wit' Rip the Jacker daggers.
Slay dragons with old passages from black magic manuscripts I found in the cabinet written in Arabic.
I'll translate the characters one by one the way Arafat’s tarot suggests, then I make terrorists threats thru ya' stereo set.
Various anthrax carriers sendin' sarin to the press.
With an imaginary address, Cani's the best.
Untraceable, ya' picture's unpaintable canvas is wet.
Lemme dry you off wit' some of this fire I spit.
26 years old nigga, look how I spit.
Microphone fiend since I was like 14.
My cuban uncle used to sell cocaine, Ok...?
I'm reloaded you f*ckin' with the wrong MC.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease to the whole industry.
As potent as Hennessey that was distilled in Tennessee, one shot scrambles ya' memory indefinitely.
Nowadays 100 bars ain't impressive to me.
I mean if you steppin' to me, nigga do it intelligently.
You wanna' battle or you wanna' f*ckin’ wrestle with me?
You ain't better than me, you just got an obsession with me.
Organic Canibus hybrid, the cake icing of rhymin'.
As I grow older I get colder like the declining climate.
On Earth's environment, entirely tireless.
My rhymes come from a higherness of wireless dialect.
Scientists from Sirius B designed my specs.
I astrally project during heightened sex.
Chakras connect, doctors inspect what they can't possibly interpet yet.
That's why they revert to threats.
They curse and throw fits.
They like immature Earth cadets lookin' like Captain Kirk in a dress.
Lyrically I'll step on you, rip on you, then I'll defecate what I just digested on you.
I'm better than you, I'm better than you, I'm better than you.
Just to get the checkered flag I'll put the pressure on you.
Put the extra effort on you.
Write a muthaf*ckin' letter to you and ya' editors too, threatenin' you.
Detectives check ya' mail and ya' messages too.
You can take this verbal slashin' I left as a clue.
I execute the type of wickedness the devil approves.
Which basically means I could do whatever with you.
I'm a rap music mutant, wit' a cool name.
Misconstrued fame, but I spit butane.
Blue flames outta' giant CO2 tanks.
Demagnetized memory banks, enhanced and advanced.
One of kind like modern mans retina scans.
Quick as a glance or flickers from kerosene lamps.
What you want me to break first, ya' jaw or ya' grill?
What type of spit you want from me... sparkling or still?
Studied law at Yale, draw up my own deals, so the longer they resist me the stronger I feel.
I'll spread ya' ganglia from Tanzania to the Flats of East Anglia.
Give up, you can't keep up.
The man eater in a wife beater spreadin’ typhoid fever thru mic recievers, with light reverb.
Type in the right keywords - I might emerge.
It takes a really nice nigga to excite these nerds.
Niggaz wanna' see the gully in me, keep f*ckin' wit' me.
Never under pressure, I keep the pressure under me.
Bun the weed, drop a freestyle on the internet then watch niggaz bun the CD.
I uploaded a picture of ya' mum gettin' DP'd, I'm one size away from 13, believe me she peed.
I'm the illest and it's gon' be that way forever.
Word of mouth is good but my mouth with words is better.
Nobody gets sicker than the Ripper!"
