are there any songwriters from any genre who are so good that 500 or maybe even 1000 years from now, their lyrics will be read in books and analyzed?
Bob Dylan
Earl Sweatshirt
MC Ride
Captain Beefheart
Yung Lean
Merzbow
tupac was epic as shit, i didn't really appreciate him when he was alive cuz i was into east coast shit and he was doing poppy west coast records with mtv videos of california mcmansions at the end of his life, but if u look at his whole ouvre, he lived the hip-hop lifestyle more fully than anyone ever probably, i mean he had every angle...revolutionary black nationalism, drug dealing gun fighter thug shit, ballin' out money man, sensitive badboy sexin all the honeys like true playa, etc. he covered it all in his music which would be an accomplishment in itself, but even more he lived that shit, from coming up as the son of a black panther in baltimore, to going to prison, to dying by gun violence, he was authentic as fuck, and did it all before he turned 27, he really is the greatest

you got my thoughts exactly. Honestly, he deserves the hype he has. I consider him the ideal perfect rapper. He wasn't "okay" at everything or absolutely amazing at everything either, but he was really at everything. He had a strong 8-9/10in every aspect of hip hop, from performing life, to songwriting, to bringing out every emotion from the listener that he wanted to. He was intelligent, ignorant, soft and hard all at once and pulled it off.

hip-hop culture took an "anti-social" turn in the 90s, deal with it gramps

I do believe good lyrics can last that long
However I don't know if they will be able to get the sentiment
I liked kojey radical's words
Stgstv had best lyrics of all anco album(title track was best in album)
But none I know would be quite suitable to be quoted I guess regardless of how sophisticated they may be

He's sort of a Dylan alumni.
