Wow, nigga straight bodied the track

 

[nujerz84]

Canibus spitting over a dope beat for once..without over doing the nerd rap shit.

 

[marc123]

lol @ Glenn's face

 

[CashmoneyDux]

I'm mad complex picked the least lyrical Jay Electronica song.

[The Lonious Monk]

I was suprised to hear that Royal Flush was nominated for a Grammy, that song was my shit

It was? How'd that happen? It wasn't even officially released on anything was it?

 

[Say What]

I think they were going for songs people actually listened too. More radio stuff with lyrical content. I don't agree but I see where they coming from

 

[_Menace_]

A milli tho? LMAO!!!

A million here a million there

Sicilian bitch with long hair, with coke in her derriere

Like smoke in the thinnest air, I open the Lamborghini

Hoping them crackers see me like look at that bastard Weezy

He's a beast, he's a dog, he's a motherfuckin' problem

Ok you're a goon but what's a goon to a goblin

Nothin', nothin', you ain't scaring nothin'

It was a single - you can still buy it on iTunes weirdly enough

A Milli is extremely overated (along with the rest of Carter 3).

T.I.'s "Im Illy" & "Sorry" >>> A Milli

"Monster" was probably Nicki's best lyrical performance but the song wasnt fuckin wit "So Appalled" or "Georgous".

they could have picked a better Kendrick song than that. cant really go wron wit K.Dot tho

"Mafia Muzik" wasnt a lyrical masterpiece but it did open everyones ears to Ross actually being a talented rapper.

 

[DMTxTHC]

No comment..

 

[ericb4prez]

of all the kendrick songs thats what they pick i would have accepted rigamortis or ignorance is bliss

 

[Maximus Rex]

A MILLI WAS LYRICAL? OK...

It was for the nigga who wrote it. Kim Kardashian would be lyrical as fuck to if she had Ye writing her rhymes. Being lyrical but yet saying somebody else's ghost written lyrics is a contradiction in terms.

 

[5th Letter]

You can't even be mad at complex and their lists anymore you know them shits gonna be questionable.

 

[sully]

Does Complex do anything else besides compile lists? They're going to run out of things to list after a while.

That's when they go meta. "Top 10 lists about lyricism that Complex got wrong"

"5 things rappers have said about complex"

"Complex Editors' 7 favourite lists from Complex"

[And_So_It_Burns]

"Complex lists of best raps about shoes" oh wait they did that

[StoneColdMikey]

[FunkyJ]

Queens Get the Money isn't even Nas's most lyrical song in the past 5 years though...
