I would rate BIG high on my list lyrically, but it sounds like he has his mouth full of cotton balls or has an unusually large or swollen tongue so I can't understand 50% of what he says if there is any background noise.
Not sure if I can come up with an order but the following would be on my list.
Dre
Ice Cube
Eminem
Rakim
Buzta Rhymes
2-Pac
Q-tip
Slick Rick
Michel'le (j/k)
Favorite Albums:
X-Clan - To the East Blackwards
Ice Cube - Amerikkka's Most Wanted
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
A Tribe Called Quest - Peoples Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rythm
NWA - Straight Outta Compton
