I think Lupe just got knocked out of my top 10. He always had to battle with Rakim for that last spot.
Jay-Z
Eminem
Notorious B.I.G.
Kendrick Lamar
Ice Cube
The Game
Pusha T
Nas
Andre 3000
Logic
Lupe Fiasco vs. Rakim
Of course, I reserve the ideal to change my mind. Logic doesn’t have the depth or humor of the others on my list, but he’s got extraordinary flow. and if nothing else, he managed to get Wu Tang Clan to lay down their best work in years.
