honorable mentions to big l and nas, but i have to agree with @God Of War .. illmatic>anything but that is just one album then he did eeeeh ever since.

in terms of new heads from the past few years that are dropping shit on a regular basis

cyhi da prynce, fab, kendrick, j cole, and then combine mac miller and chris webby as one white person

alive

nas
cage
DMX
scarface
RA da RUGGED MAN

but this changes daily

surprised no ones said Kayne

not a fan of his, but tbh he drops some pretty dope verses

Check out ab soul nibiru

Az is probably the most underrated og spit for spatter in the game. His multi usage and word placement along with flow and.delivery is the reason why eminems first album sounds like az ghostwrote it

Maybe its because I'm not from his kneck of the woods he sounds like he's saying a lot w/out actually saying anything, AZ sounds like he rhymes for the sake of rhyming to me

Az
Nas
Elzhi
Lupe
styles p/jada

Tech N9ne, Macklemore, Talib Kweli, Royce Da 5'9" and Eminem.

Kanye is a good producer but his rapping is pretty sub standard IMO

Ever watched kanye and mos def spitting together, he is made too look like a right fool

I see a.lot.of yall.listing royce. No doubt he's in mine too so props on that but are you guys.listing him on the strength of what hes done in the last four to five years or how long have you been fans?

Since I was 17.

My list
