Anyone can write lyrics in their basement too. Not everyone can write good lyrics though, just like not everyone can make good beats.

That is what we ARE talking about. How good of poet they are and how they delivery their poetry.
If we wanted to have a top 10 list that included production with everything it would have to have a different name. Rap performer maybe? When I think of this list, I'm thinking mostly of just the rapper himself and his skills alone now how he sounds being assisted by a producer.
