Anyone who puts The Game, Chamillionaire, Young Jeezy, or Kanye West on their list invalidates anything else in there that might even be slightly decent.
At least nobody put the Ying Yang Twins or D4L.

That is all.

You guys are trying to hard to avoid mainstream rappers.
Chino XL is my super cool underground pick.
The Game has incredible flow and is very underrated as a lyricist. If you think an artist is automatically terrible just because he enjoys commercial success, then you don't know shit about hip-hop. Oh wait, you don't know shit about hip-hop!
My immediate list would comprise:
MF Doom/Viktor Vaughn
Jay-Z
Nas
Black Thought
Talib Kweli
Phonte (from Little Brother)
Common
Ghostface
The Game
GZA/Genius
Nas is the GOAT.
AZ is up there.
They need to do a collabo again.
