Best rap lyricist? Eminem, Dre or Snoop. End of. Jay Z is a pretender.

I can't take part in any kind of Snowpatrol 'backlash', because I always thought they were mediocre. I do like 'Run' though. I just can't get past the "Let's do a Coldplay on this one lads" feel to 'Run' I know every band is influenced by other bands, but Chris Martin must've thought "F**k I don't remember recording that song! Must've been rightly mullered last night!" when he first heard it!
