Since I wouldn't say I'm educated on the genre as well as I could be, I'll just throw down my favourite, so not necessarily the best.
Andre 3000 - Unique, love his style and flow, someone who genuinely stands out as fun, different and still supreme in the genre.
Eminem - In his glory days obviously, the anger and brilliance of the delivery was great on his first three albums, now he's a Business man and kinda has a normal life(in celeb terms), he's lost that anger......which means he's lost what made him great.
Rakim - Can't beat good old Rakim. Paid In Full & Follow The Leader are stone wall classics in the genre.
