1. Biggie - the king of BK
2. Kool G Rap - Ill street blues need I say more
3. Big Daddy Kane - This guy was the shit back in the day
4. Lord Finesse - After I heard him murder Percee P on the freestyle tape from 89 / Rakim - too hard to pick between the two for me
5. Nas - ever since nasty nas

Honourable mentions: Elzhi, J-Live, Talib, Mos Def, Black Thought, Common, Phife Dawg, Big Pun, Erick Sermon, Pharoahe and large professor
I'm from the BK, but I'm gonna have to go West Coast over East Coast with
Tupac as the better lyricist, poet, spitter, actor, and all around entertainer.

And since I like my rap to have meaning, and social consciousness I have to
put Chuck D, and Public Enemy in the mix.

In the same regards I have to put the Queen, Latifah on the list.
