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.

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.
