Tupac
Noone had more more emotional and socially aware Rap music than Shakur. He is just untouchable when it comes to Rap. He makes everything that has come out after him look silly.
Alot of rappers in the game today want the $$$ more than anything, Pac made serious money but he had alot to say. He used his status to say things that really matter, socially relevant stuff. Noone will ever take that risk again. The music industry no more than ever is about money.
Eminems name comes up alot, but he is a joke imo. Too much shock value type bullshit. I don't get into any of his stuff, he is and will always be imo an immature punk with no class.

Favorite is Eminem thats obvious but i also like Royced Da 5'9 and Biggy, also i find Tupac very overrated he was good but once he died poeple went skits over him just like Michael Jackson, i no they were both popular but once they died its like everyone got a hard on for them or something.

I'll agree with that. I mean if he was still alive would people be saying he's the best, he's the best? Prob not.

I don't think anyone had any more overall lyrical talent than Biggie. I know a lot of people claim he's overrated because he died.. I was even one of these people at one time, but I think he had it all.. great voice, amazing flow.. vivid storytelling abilities and of course raw lyrical prowess.
Nas, Eminem, Jay-Z and Tech N9ne would round out my top 5 best.

Aesop Rock, Slug ( Atmosphere ), Murs, Mos Def, Talib Kweli to name a few independent artists. Lupe Fiasco, Joe Budden, Freeway, Wiz Khalifa, B.o.B on more mainstream artists.
These are very talented individuals of their craft. The independent circuit of artists is leaps and bounds above commercial talent. They rap to rap opposed to make singles to top the charts.
While both take skill and fanfare I personally am drawn more towards deep intellect though I am a fan of commercial artists at the same time because I enjoy every layer of hip hop.

Nas, Pac, Cube and Eminem. (in that order)
Biggie simply wasn't here long enough to be considered one of the greatest.
Pac was young at the time of his death too, but he had relaesed so much music, so quick that he can be considred one of the greatest.
