    You’re right he was. He’s East and Kendrick west

    Dijon should be on here or am I tripping?

    May be a bit early for all time great American song writer status for him but he did get a nod. Not on the final list but Justin Vernon listed him and MkGee in his submission

    Lyricism is an aspect of songwriting, it’s not the only factor. Thug excels at pretty much every other facet of songwriting over Cole and Nas, they’re just better lyricists than him

    What are the other aspects of songwriting that thug excels in?

    I’m a little surprised Frank Ocean ain’t make the cut but it’s most likely since he’s been gone for so long

    Song structure, inflections, flows, melodies, he’s also a very unique lyricist as well but obviously not as good at that aspect as a Cole or Nas

  • missing too many heavy names for me to take this seriously

    Yeah i knew some of the clergy people giving the service at his funeral that were eritrean and Ethiopian i have some eastern heritage

    I think besides his last album he makes better songs than Cole and Nas. Even though they are better rappers.

    Jay Z is the greatest songwriter of my lifetime his pen is untouchable

    Yea, I think him having writing credits on most of beyonce music elevates him as a writer to where you cant really disagree unless you actually know what he did on the songs.

    Thug but no Future is crazy

    Future deserves a spot for sure but the people voting probably just dont like him.

    Thug is on the list rather than Nas because Thug is a better songwriter

  • If they did this last year, Brian Wilson would def be on here. I would put Phil Elverum in this list though

  • Mafia Boss

    Yea, I think him having writing credits on most of beyonce music elevates him as a writer to where you cant really disagree unless you actually know what he did on the songs.

    Also the writing he did for Mase, Diddy, Foxy Brown, Mary J, Dre, Snoop, and others list goes on
