I think the Hiero got lyrics, but to me Ya Boy just be rhymin and Yuk is sometimes limited. They all tight though.
Ya Boy is a punchline rapper... he's still developing in my opinion.
Yukmouth is a beast...he's got wordplay, multisyllables, metaphonres, punchlines...basically all the qualities of a true lyricist. He does need to switch up his subject matter and rap about something else besides being a thug and dissing G-Unit. If he did...its a wrap.
The Jacka-in my opinion he's also still developing. His lyrics get better with every album.
San Quinn- Quinn's been doing his thing for many moons and though is flow changed, his lyrics got better and deeper.
Can't really think of anyone else at the momment..I'm not big on back-pack hip-hop...So I can't speak on the Zion I's and the Delrons...
Oh, even though he's not from the Bay..but I think he dserves a shout out...
CROKED-I. In my opinion, he's the best lyricist in the game right now..
