Well since everyone is throwing in groups as well as MCs, my list will consist of both. I love good wordplay, punchlines, etc. but I rate MCs and groups off of how good their music, not necessarily their skills on the mic. After all, why talk about someone who has all the skills but can't make a great record?
1) Cunninlynguists
2) Elzhi
3) Nas
4) Pharoahe Monch
5) Illogic

but my all time list is
1) Nas
2) KRS
3) Black Thought
4) Pharoahe Monch
5) Andre 3000

I base my lists strictly off of an artists discography, so who ever has the strongest body of work is the best rapper of all time to me..

isnt illlogic a local mc from manchester ct?

Joe Budden
Eminem
Drake
Jadakiss
Lil wayne

IMA HAVE TO GO WITH

1. DR. DRE
2. EMINEM
3. THE GAME
4. LLOYD BANKS
5. NAS OR LUDACRIS
