Hah; I don't think he's the worst. Far from it. Some of his lines are just plain sick - he has a wicked live energy. The title for worst is definitely in Noreaga or Ja Rules court.
Sampling of Ja Rules skillz:
"What can I say? I was raised as an only child - LONELY!" I mean - seriously man? I bet his boys in the studio at the time were just like... woah... maybe we need to start looking for another rapper to swing shirts around for...

I don't think Em should be left out of the group of great lyricists; that bastard is the perfect example of Trickster incarnate; I don't think there's anyone else out there like him.
But yeah - certainly there are some bad rappers out there; but I was more referring to ones who are out for longer than 6 months.
BTW: I agree with lots of Dipsets lyrics being garbage. They do have some decent beats, but thats about it...

I enjoy listening to Biggie, its real entertainment the way he paints a picture is great. Not too many artist now a days do that or even attempt to.
Listen to songs like "I got a story to tell" "Party and Bullshit" "Juicy" "One more chance" and you can see what i mean, his rhythm was above average at that time. and could hold up today. When i hit up a club I can still hear atleast 2-3 biggie tracks on a good night as to where I can here Pac maybe once.
Pac i would say is a better writer, Biggie was more entertaining and had a crazy swagger with his rhymes.
if you want good lyrics you have to go back to Eric B and Rakim.
at the time stuff like this was crazy and i think could still hold up today:
"I take seven MCs, put 'em in a line/ And add seven more brothas who think they can rhyme/ Well, it'll take seven more before I go for mine/ And that's 21 MCs ate up at the same time."
