80's
Public Enemy
Run DMC
NWA
KRS One
Slick Rick
Grandmaster Flash
Afrikka Bambata for christ sakes
Beastie Boys

00's
Tons of great Jay-Z
50 cent
Eminem (by the way, cheap shot putting SSLP in the 90's)
Outkast
Dizzy Rascal
MC Paul Barman
Most Kayne
MF Doom
The Roots
Lupe Fiasco
Immortal Technique
I would argue that the Beastie Boys and the Roots released their best work in the 90s, Eminem and Outkast are points equally for the 90s and 00s, and Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Kanye West, and Lupe Fiasco are all strikes against the 00s.
