[riseagainst]

Where does Immortal Technique fall in this category?

[SexSymbol]

he's definitely up there.
Nas is my pick

[~primetime~]

RZA or GZA for me

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

RZA or GZA for me

nice choices

Fiasco
Nas (barring poor life decisions)
Busta in terms of creativity
Ras Kass
Rakim
probably Krayzie Bone
2 Chainz academically
Masta Ace





Waka is much smarter than he sounds


IT Proved his worldly knkowledge on an Alex Jones interview

[~primetime~]

2 Chainz academically

forgot about that...

he was the salutatorian at his high school

[fiddy]

No mentions of KRS One? :facepalm

[Crimsonrain777]

if life achievements play a role. Jay z has to be in the argument

[CeltsGarlic]

A$AP Yams never forget

[FKAri]

DMX

[Akrazotile]

:biggums:

It's Canibus easily. It's not even a discussion.

And it's not just because he uses big words. His topical knowledge is broad as FVCK.

You can tell he's one of the rare people in this world who loves learning for the sake of learning. And his mic skills are fabulous.


Edit: Also Tupac deserves an honorable mention

[Uncle Drew]

I would go with Nas.

[NumberSix]

Will Smith.

[Real14]

Pac is one of them, he definitely was tha bravest tho.

[dunksby]

The guy with a lisp.

[NumberSix]

The guy with a lisp.
Kool g rap?

[macmac]

The correct answer is Chino XL

[L.Kizzle]

Probably either Poor Righteous Teachers or Leaders of the New School.

[red1]

nas is up there for mainstream rappers

[zoom17]

Canibus, Nas, KRS One to name a few.

[Rake2204]

Don't know too much about his entire breadth of knowledge, but it seems Aesop Rock is relatively intelligent on the language front, at least. I think he graduated from Boston University.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Waka is very intelligent, watch his latest interviews with breakfast club and hot 97 for insight.

Ti, Tupac, Lupe, 2chainz, Nas all very intelligent as well.

[stalkerforlife]

Eminem.

I thought you grew up on a multi-acre plot of land owned by a one-legged man who got a settlement from the phone company and was hung like a horse?

For a year or two. Then back to the trailer.

[thefatmiral]

Of all time, probably the guru. Krs one, socially and politically very intelligent. Rza. These guys could have probably have been lawyers or professors if that was there career choice.

[Bless Mathews]
