A lot of my faves already mentioned. Kast is the top IMO, 3000 is the most underrated lyricist.

Joe Budden should be on everyone's list. Dude is just too nice.

Immortal Tech and Mos Def didn't get love either.
I repped mos def in the starting thread lol. and budden is fire as well, just not someone i pop on and listen to frequently. immortal....well hes kinda preachy and kinda has a whack voice/lyrics/ flow imo. He sucked in concert as well, but thats just my opinion. I know plenty of ppl who like him but no where near a top list.
Andre tears it up as well, glad u brought him up.

ooooh shit ive been waiting on this shit. fucking hate nicki minaj sooo fucking much, dake as well.
Heres a track w/ Lil kim dissin on minaj and drake. I hate their stupid autotuned music that plages the radio. i hate her voice so much, Minaj "raps" like she has a dick in her ass and im glad kim called her out

nicki sucks but i want to fuck her sooooooo bad..atleast get some brains.

i would've wanted to fuck kim a while back but not today.


not a fan of budden.

like mos def.

really like immortal.

but none of them are at the top of my list...actually immortal might creep in but he's def not my favorite, i just love what he spits. i agree with him on everything except his communist views. i'm a huge free-market capitalist (austrian).

I think you've got it pretty much figured out but, I would have to add:
Jeru the Damaja
Smiff & Wesson "Cocoa Brovaz"
Jedi Mind Tricks
R.A the Rugged Man

KRS ONE is top, for sure, and don't forget it. Aesop Rock has tripped me out for years, and is a marvel of modern poetry. MF Doom is the epitome of rad. Slick rick because he was the godfather of G-bling, and his style was so different. Guru with premier in Gangstarr cannot be forgotten (RIP). Freestyle Fellowship and NWA, the yin and yang of west coast hip hop. Tupac, biggie, they transcended the underground and mainstream scenes, and will probably endure for as long as i live. Screwed up click, that slowed and throwed was raw grit, it, like, slow fucks your ears till you're sittin sideways. People under the stairs, they keep it real. That's probably too many, but there's so many more that havn't even jumped to my mind yet...

Best Rapper Alive: Nas

Why: Illmatic, Stillmatic, It Was Written

Checkout these tacks off his 2006 album Hip-Hop is Dead - Who Killed It, Hold Down The Block, Hip-Hop is Dead.

Immortal Technique is an admirable person and heart-less on the mic. Preachy? Naw if you ain't with Technique, get out. Cuz his rhymes would be tight even if he wasn't revolutionary but his message is as important as the music..

Some of the my face emcees that are under-recognized - Canibus, Devin the Dude, Del the Funkee homosapien, aceyalone, AZ, Blackalicious, Bun B & Pimp C.

I cant believe Rick Ross is still in the game after people found out he used to be a ex- correctional officer really reinforces the fact hiphop is dead.

Saw az and nas rip it up at rock the bells. they straight KILLED it. Dropped madd shit from illmatic n stillmatic. none of his N***er cd crap, only one good song on that, fried chicken. Damien marley was trhere and they ripped up some track from distant relatives and shit was tight. Rick ross, i hate him but dude can produce a track and pick a hot beat, not a fan of his background but hes not all bad.

Yeah AZ and Nas got mad chemistry. I agree i find rick ross a guilty pleasure at times like he's great on "superhigh" but, he's a joke.
