NaNas - Illmatic, nuff said.
Wu Tang Clan - 36 chambers, nuff said.
A Tribe called Quest - Perhaps the most consistently amazing rap duo I can think of.
Atmosphere - I like almost all of their stuff, but the first album, Overcast, is the reason Slug exists on my list. It is a unique treasure, differing immensly from every other slug album. The lyrical word play is unmatched.
Edan - Edan is a god. His word play equates to a mastery over syllable rhyme utility. He also has amazing delivery and very clever beats/subject matters.
Cyne - Cyne is pretty spectacular. Though it is often hard to understand what they are saying, they are a unique act with pretty rad rhymes.
The Roots - Pass the popcorn!
Jurassic Five
Hieroglyphics.
