The greatest lyricist of all time...

Only because people aren't suggesting artists of other genres (save for the last two responses).

I was just discussing this with my wife, actually. At it's finest, hip-hop can be one of the most poetic genres out there. Even if you don't like the "sound" of hip-hop, I challenge you to read through some of the works of the aforementioned lyricists like GZA and Andre 3000. You'll find that more so than any other genre, hip-hop focuses on literary techniques like simile, metaphor, wordplay, puns and, of course, rhythm. If you like clever music, I think hip-hop -- good hip-hop -- is where it's at.

I am rarely shocked any more.
