One guy is a producer. The other was an unfunny gimmick. That leaves just Ice Cube. If we're talking about who is the best hip-hop artist then Ice Cube is the only reasonable answer. Although he is also guilty of putting out a 'gangster' front to shift records, that was very much the style at the time he came up and Cube was always gifted enough that he didn't need a gimmick in order to warrant success.
