I agree, Beastie Boys should've won that poll that he was in.

I picked Why?, because Yoni is great, fantastic lyrics and a unique flow.

Public Enemy was one of my first dives into the genre, and It Takes a Nation is a classic for me.
However, Alopecia is one of my favorite albums out of any genre and appeals to me in a way that Public Enemy never did, so WHY? get my vote.

Andre 3000 is by far one of the best lyricists ever, how can you not vote for him?

I like him a lot as a musician but I definitely don't think of him as anything special in the lyrics department.

idk he's pretty awesome in the lyrics department, check these verses out

even though he's talented, there is no way I could choose him over PE though.

Three Stacks.
Public Enemy in a close second.

Not even questionable. Do you know of any other Hip Hop artists that sound like Public Enemy both musically, thematically and lyrically? A literal wall of sound.

^All three of those have very middle-of-the-road lyrics to me. I like the songs (especially the third one) but it's definitely not the words that grab me.

"So I'm watchin' her fine ass
Walked to my bedroom, and thought to myself
That's the shape of things to come
She said, "Why you in the club, and you don't make it precipitate?
You know, make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm"
I'm like, "Why? "
The world needs sun
The hood needs funds
There's a war going on and half the battle is guns
How dare I throw it on the floor
When people are poor
So I write like Edgar Allen to restore, got a cord
Umbilical attached to a place they can't afford
No landscaping, Or window draping
This old lady told me,
"If I ain't got nothin' good, say nathing"
That's why I don't talk much
I swear it don't cost much, to pay attention to me
I tell like it is, and I tell it how it could be"

those lyrics don't stand out to you?
