My number 1 all time is PAC, it's based on everything about him. His music, his diversity, his lyrics, his poetry, his persona, his mind, his creativity everything.
I rate Nas because I know he's dope and deserves all the respect and props he has. The song 'I can' was the first hip hop track I loved.
I rate Kanye because IMO 'college drop out' was one of the best debut hip hop albums in history, he's so diverse and very creative, although I think he's fell off a lot and I don't like him as a person. His music is really enjoyable.
I rate Ludicris because he's so fucking original. His songs are mad entertaining. He has a lot of comedy and character in his songs.
Eminem is a personal favourite because of his lyrics, entertainment factor, he's so REAl. Arguably the bet lyricist in hip hop.
I rate BOB so much because he really is an ARTIST. He has risky songs, I love his way with words, his voice, his character, his talent, his ability to be current, and mainstream without losing a slight feel of underground mentality in a lot of his songs.
I know that's not in order but I'm on my phone and can't remember who I put, that's not in order at all though. I tend to base my top all time on personal preference. Who's music do I enjoy the most? Etc. although 'technically' I'm probably way out, that's just my feelings towards hip hop. I'm even a Flo Rida fan tbh, his debut album has some dope shit on it.

Also Travie McCoy, you probably think I'm mad for that one. His lyrics are so fresh and weird lol I could listen to him all day. He has the best concepts in hip hop. He wrote a song using Band names, it's called 'taxi driver' check it out. He way too talented.
Also, he has crazy lyrics nobody would even think off, example;
Stands before you's a man that build a castle with sand, with no regards to tidal waves and finally established, til water comes in galleon drums and wipes away my palace, but now I'm sitting ugly off in wonderland with Alice with purple people passing me at the caterpillas chalice.
I just think he's fuckig awesome, difficult, intelligent, creative, so talented
