I'd put Pharoahe Monch, Andre 3k, and Jay-Z up against that group any day of the week.

I do like material from all of them though. Doom's discography is too inconsistent and his style of rapping is a little too laid back for me, Biggie has two great albums and a wonderful legacy, nothing bad to say about him - Busta's first album is an absolute gem ('Everything Remains Raw' for my money is the best song he ever did), but his 'extinction' theme got played out by the second album. And he's got too much filler. When he's on point though, he's on point. Flipmode Squad's debut is a little underrated though.
