Dicky can rap better than almost anyone that made the list. I don't like his music but he got skills. Mick got robbed.. Cozz too.

Cozz wasn't robbed he's probably never gonna be bigger than anyone on this list. Back to Lil Dicky all I gotta say is that when you say you didn't include Post Malone because he doesn't want to be associated with rap but you included the dude that said "Unless you’re an extremely stupid person that began life as a poor, violent man, only to see your fortunes turn once you started rapping, you won’t be able to relate to 99 percent of today’s rap music" and "If I looked like Rick Ross, do you realize how much fun that would be? I’d literally get to say any combination of words without being judged. Proper societal standards just don’t apply to the Rick Ross’s [sic] of the world. They get to operate on a completely different playing field than the rest of us" on the list you must obviously see yourself as a joke. Lil Dicky can't rap he's an idiot racist making dumb songs and claiming they're parody while in the same breath saying he's great as a legit artist. I can't mess with anyone that supports this dude.

Lil Dicky is like Hopsin but cornier, racist, and somehow less original and more basic in his rhymes. His lyrics are as deep as Game's (and by that I mean they arent at all).

Yeah, I agree he's corny and I personally can't listen to his music, but I've heard a few songs and at the least he understands how to flow and has an energy. This isn't a testament to Dicky's skills, but moreso how bad the list is.

21Savage is pretty trash.
Yachty awful.
Uzi trash to me.
Kodak somewhat decent but I probably won't ever be listening to him. Has a HUGE following, though.
Herbo aite. He definitely decent. Need to see another project.
I don't get the Dave East hype honestly. He type hard, but I rather listen to Nehru, Skyzoo, Joey Bad or Budden, Action, Bas out of NY. Maybe I'm sleep, idk.
Watched the Desiigner interview. Mans got a story. I don't like his skill at all, but Kanye/Pusha will groom him
Denzel kinda hard.
Paak the all-star of the class if you ask me.

East and Paak are surprises. Herb too (even though he doesn't deserve it). We all knew those other guys were gonna be there though (besides Dicky who I feel they included to let us know XXL isn't to be taken seriously at all).

I think East is best NYC has had to offer in a Minute. I think Nino Man is better than Him, but Nino can't seem to get over the Hump.

Joey Bada$$ vs. Dave East and you taking East? I might have to give East another chance. He spit hard with a gritty flow and got the Nas co-sign, but he always fell out my rotation.

What about Budden vs. East?

East has more ability than Joey, but he does not have more than Joe.

All I Know is probably my fvorite East song. IDK about him tho I've never liked a whole project of his.

Nino is great too but he freestyled everything. I wanna hear a real song.

Dont know if you know about Wara, but he is up and coming Brooklyn Spitter. He started off down south cause his parents moved down there, but he came back to BK a few years ago. He is starting round into form.

Definitely spits gritty. Was a little too preachy for my taste on that track, but I'm listening to 'If Guns Could Speak PSA' now and I'm enjoying it. That PSA track fire. Def gonna put him in my grit playlist.

Thats not preachy. It was the theme of the song. He was speaking to his Little Brother about don't follow my steps.


Dude is a spitter all day
