  1. Jay-Z(Getting ghost in the Ghost, can you see me? Can you see me? Have mercy on a Judas, angel wings on a 'ghini I'm secular, tell the hecklers seckle down Y'all religion creates division like my Maybach partition
  2. Eminem(Entertainment is changing, intertwining with gangsters In the land of the killers a sinner's mind is a sanctum Holy or unholy, only have one homie Only this gun, lonely
  3. Nas(This rhythmatic explosion Is what your frame of mind has chosen I'll leave your brain stimulated, niggas is frozen Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin End like Leviathan, it's deep; well, let me try again

These three are my all time favorites by far...

I strongly believe that there is some appeal in rap for everyone considering the shear diversity of presentation/delivery however I have yet to find it

I already answered this in a different thread, so I'm literally copy and pasting:

5. Too hard to give to one artist. Rakim, LL Cool J, Black Thought, and Gangstarr can all hold this spot until I can properly narrow it down :)

4. Eminem -- it is what it is lol. Marshall Mathers LP was the first rap album I ever bought, and it kinda changed things (my ears weren't ready lol!). I kinda chuckle a bit when people say he fell off. To me, his tone on tracks can be hard to hear sometimes nowadays, but his wordplay, punchlines, and metaphors are as crisp as they've ever been imo.

3. Slaughterhouse -- I feel like this is cheating a bit, but Slaughterhouse (as individual members and as a collective whole) has to get this spot. Any one of them are capable of challenging a squad lyrically. Together? Those dudes are dangerous. Plus, I got Prhyme, Layers, All Love Lost, and Rage & The Machine all in rotation lol.

2. Lupe Fiasco -- Lupe the Killer; Failure; Just Might Be OK; Dumb it Down; Put You on Game; Form Follow Function; Mural. I rest my case lol. Lupe is simply amazing with words. He's the type of artist that can make a song, and you won't catch a line until the 25th listen. The first time I heard him was on Kanye's Touch the Sky, and all I thought was: "Did he reference Mumm-Ra and Lupin III? Whoever did that 3rd verse just stole the song".

Honorable mentions to Jay Electronica, Talib Kweli, Fabolous, Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch, King Los, and Sean Price.

1. Nas -- The Street Poet. He is without question my #1. MMLP was the first rap album I bought; The World is Yours is my earliest recollection of a rap song. I heard Illmatic in my house a lot (along with Life After Death and a few other albums). I kinda lost touch with Nas when he had the Hate Me Now/You Owe Me phase going (I was fairly young then anyway). I almost have to thank Jay, because he forced Nas to drop Ether. You know when a song is so potent that it becomes a verb i.e. you got "Ether'd"? Yeah. Stillmatic to God Son; Street Disciple to Life is Good; now Nas Album Done is out to hold me over to until I get a full album. Nas is the best in my book.

What's Crazy is that Nas has essentially put our Three Albums in a Span of a 1.5 years with King's Disease 1 - 2 and then Magic which I think is the Best of the Three. He has Solidified himself as the GOAT of Hip Hop IMO.
