Basically, this is going to come down as a "why you're shit if you like Lil Wayne thread", but my list, following the cliche would be...

1. Pac
2. Biggie
3. Pun.
3. Beanie Sigel
4. Lupe
5. Eminem
6. Wu-Tang
7. Ice Cube
8. NWA
9. Bone Thugs.

Even if he isn't the best or deepest lyricist, Tyler, the Creator deserves a spot. The narrative he manages to tell with rapping about his own life and about the lives of alter egos together across the albums Bastard, Goblin and Wolf is brilliant, and is something even acclaimed rappers like Eminem never did or thought of doing. He's definitely up there in the entertainment factor.

Eminem does rap about his life and he portrayed his alter ego, Slim Shady, a lot in his early work.
What Tyler does, has already been done by the likes of Esham.

Are you incapable of reading? Using his own life and alter egos to write a narrative about these alter egos is something Eminem never did, and I was exagerating when I said no other acclaimed rapper has done it. I doubt any other has done exactly what Tyler did though.

Yeh he did, through Slim Shady.
What Tyler did aka horrocore, has already been done by guys like Esham and Brotha Lynch Hung.

The Last Emperor already rapped about alter egos like Wolverine and Spiderman btw.

Are you, like, not smart? Just because there's other people who rap in the same way Tyler does, with the same kind of themes like rape and violence, doesn't discredit him. Horrorcore is a genre, which can include many people. Stop talking like there can be only one person who raps horrorcore.

Tyler also doesn't classify his music as horrorcore because, while fictional, Tyler goes a level beyond that when he raps about rape and violence. Wolf, Goblin, and Bastard, his albums, are supposed to tell a narrative about different people who all have some kind of mental flaw. One of them happens to be demented and violent, and that's the alter ego Tyler is trying to convey when he raps as what you call horrorcore. Tyler doesn't rap about rape and violence just for the sake of shock value, as many people believe, which is why he doesn't classify himself as horrorcore, but for the greater purpose of the narrative. Eminem has used alter egos, such as Slim Shady or Ken Kaniff, but not to form a cohesive narrative the way Tyler does, and that's what sets his use of alter egos aside from people like Eminem, or whatever that guy's name is you just mentioned that raps like Wolverine or Spiderman, the latter of which is vastly different from what Tyler does.

Maybe not through lyricism and bars, but his music over-all is genius.

You cannot deny that as a rapper, Tyler does and can do more than most.

Idk man, I'm not even a kendrick fan and I think hes more of a genius than tyler. OF is doing pretty good for themselves for being Independant and hell ill admit hes a great director but I wouldn't take any of em more serious that what they are, satire artists. YEA its all funny and somewhat honest but calling him a GENIUS a word that's been used to describe greats like Kanye, Nas, Pun, Pac (shit ide even call Drake a genius) thats pushing it.

 

[jiraiya lives]

Nas and pun are god tier

pac and biggie high tier


wayne, meek mill, and lil boosie are mid tier

chief keef, gucci, waka flocka are low tier

lil b is shit tier

For him to be at the level that he is at his age is nothing short of genius. Tyler has a wider variety of sounds than any of those dudes you mentioned. He has dark music, funny music, happy music, etc. He can story tell, rap in different pov's, etc. He steps outside the box. Not only that, he produces a lot of good songs too. Only person on your list to do that is Kanye. I don't think any of those dues you mentioned can anything that Tyler can't do.

lil b is shit tier

Task Force get in here
