    I think a lot of smart rappers dumb it down a little so people can better understand them and relate.

    But here's my list of dudes that I've either known to have been smart, or who have really surprised me with lyrics or interviews:

    2pac

    Chuck D

    Andre 3000

    Nas

    Mos Def

    Talib Kweli

    Common

    LL Cool J

    MC Zumbi

    Stic.man

    Shock G

    One notable person I left off the list is KRS One. He seems smart in the way he talks (he has an authoritative way of talking), but a lot of stuff he says is pretty damn stupid. I used to think he was like the smartest until I got older and became more critical.

    Jay Z

    50 cent (because of his entrapeneuring not his whack as-s music)

    Eminem

    Dr Dre (simply genius, cant write lyrics though)

    Lil Wayne (I hate him but i have to admit he's smart)

    Smartest out of them are

    Dre, Em, Jay z
