imo lyricist bracket examples
old school (and previous gen) : 3 stacks em jay nas pun biggie rakim big l jadakiss the wu niggas etc wayne (arguable)
new:
jay elec, kendrick, cole , wale, lupe, pusha , krit, joey baddass, freddie gibbs etc
drake to me falls just short out of that lyricist bracket.
he's in the bracket with Asap(rocky and ferg), schoolboy q, travis scott( arguable..sometimes he's really trash), big sean, the game etc. all these niggas are above average at best to me. they not trash and they can definitely hold theier own with lyrical niggas on a good day, but they're just not at the bar for me to call them "lyricist"
drake is a top tier in above average lyrical bracket
ediot: he's disqualified for not writing his shit though. this was all assuming if he did write his stuff. Even if he penned every lyric in his discog i wouldn't put them up there with them niggas that's really spittin
