Eminem
He's sold more albums than any MC ever. He is versatile in his lyrics. He is making a name for himself that competes with the greats like Michael Jackson.

The Notorious B.I.G.
His rhyming was astounding. Lyrically he could kill you with some of the most cold-blooded pairings of words ever recorded, then charm you and then make you laugh — all in one verse.

2Pac
Rappers and fans alike all try to emulate some part of Pac: the warrior, the prophet, the leader. We lost this MC at his prime. He could paint a picture of words that many MC's wish they had the ability to do.
