Tupac and Easy E were good lyricist, but some of Easy's stuff was just insane(and I mean criminally insane).

Edan, Busdriver, and Immortal Technique.

IT is a little crazy political, but he is a very talented lyricist.

MF Doom most definitely. But, pure linguistic genius is Illogic, forget rapping he should go for the poet laureate.

None of them are clever.

They're rappers. Enough said.

But I do recognize that impromptu rapping and rap battles do require an active and creative brain, so whoever is the best at those is the "cleverest," I would suppose.

I know right. ;) Big Daddy Kane is what got me into Hip-Hop because he was justa really good MC. Made me pay attention to lyrics instead of letting them fly over my head.

I've got a tonne of recommnedations for you man.

Check early De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest

De La Soul - Breakadawn1993

A Tribe Called Quest - Butter1991

They're like jazzy/alternative Hip-Hop.

If you want super lyrical MCs like Big Daddy Kane check Kool G Rap and Rakim.

Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Men at Work1989

Eric B. & Rakim - Microphone Fiend1988

There's good Hip-Hop out there but no-one's gonna put it in front of you (except me). If you want more recommnedations PM me. ;)

Most clever AND best flow? LUDACRIS. Lil wayne has some clever stuff, but his flow can be way too funky to actually be called a "flow" in my opinion of course.

MF Doom is by far one of the most clever and original rappers I have ever heard. Show me another rapper who can make a whole album using food as metaphors.

Unique and clever are not the same thing. I wont argue with you for picking TK, but in terms of cleverness, he isn't in comparison to others.

Unique is going against the norm--doing something different (in a good way). Cleverness is being skilled, intelligent, funny, etc.

Going by that description, I'd pick Rakim.

Wow, I feel ashamed that Lil' Wayne and kanye are even being mentioned in here.

Clever? Have you even listened to that drivel they write? Or the fact that Kanye is an egotistical cry baby?
