It's debatable who is the best but it usually comes down to these people:
the oldies who could write lyrics about any mundane thing and make it engaging
>Dorival Caymmi
>Luiz Gonzaga
>Noel Rosa
>Adoniran Barbosa
These are the most well regarded lyricists since they had to get really creative to get their message across during a period of artistic censorship
>Chico Buarque
>Caetano Veloso
>Milton Nascimento
>Belchior
>Tom Zé
These dropped memorable songs in the 80's and 90's that are still fresh in everyone's memories
>Renato Russo (Legião Urbana)
>Almir Sater
>Racionais MC's
>Ana Carolina
Landon Barnes
