I didn't say I only value technical capabilities. I said good lyricist = good rapper.

Big L, great lyricist but I dislike all of his music. Not because he isn't a good rapper but because I didn't enjoy the topics he chose to speak about and overall just couldn't get into it. But he's still a great rapper because...yep, you guessed it. He's a great lyricist.

Ludacris = far below average lyricist. Weak rapper. But still highly entertaining, good flow, nice rhythm, catchy hooks and humorous topics and punchlines.
