"I believe this 100 percent, there is not another lyricst on the face of God's green Earth who can match his skills on the microphone."
You're nuts. Your mentality stems from the fact that you obviously haven't had much exposure to anything other than mainstream rap. Anyone from the Def Jux camp (Eyedea, Mr. Lif, Aesop Rock) as well as Del the Funky Homosapian would blow that little pansy out of the water (in terms of both lyrics and freestyle). These guys are real hip-hop.
All of those guys you mentioned... especially Del... are good. (well the ones I have heard of, anyway)
I just think Em is better in my personal opinion. I fully respect your viewpoint though.
