In terms of influence and dropping consistently great verses you have to look at Rakim, Kool G Rap and possibly KRS One (although he has had a few duff albums). I've been running a blog to statistically work out who is the greatest rapper by means of their album scores from critics and fans. I don't think I'm allowed to link it but it's on my profile. And currently it calculates that Pharaohe Monch is the best, followed by Tupac and then Rakim. I think Tupac would be up there with the best but his legacy has been tainted by the large number of posthomous albums released with producers and rappers that don't deserve to be sharing a track with him.
