Top 5 for me:

Louis Logic
Mac Lethal
Aesop Rock
Lupe Fiasco

I am disappointed with you r3v.

Immortal Technique, Cage, and Atmosphere are the first three that come to mind for me.

[BigSam]

Immortal Technique is the shit, for those curious, download Revolutionary Volume 2, you will hear rhymes that will make you think, as well as rhymes that make you laugh. It is a very political album, liberal even by Pelosi standards, but the flow and rhymes are downright filthy.

"I doubt that there could ever be...a more wicked MC
'Cause AIDS infested child molesters aren't sicker than me"

Notorious BIG gets the top spot for me though, his rhymes are incredibly complex, layered and deployed with an unmatched flow. Most rap follows the same format, rhyme two lines, maybe 3, but BIG's flow stacked rhymes multiple times in many cases and didn't rhyme at all in some, but the delivery was just so good that it never seemed out of place.

[Mike The Bavarian]

fuck...I'll just make a list...

krs one, rakim, ed og, master ace, termonology, gangstarr, slum village, little brother, black milk, skyzoo, BIG, big l, wutang, sean price, talib kweli, mos def, . just people i've been listen to for god knows how long...
