Ain't posted one of these in a while, but the list goes something like this:
1. Rakim
2. Nas
3. Big L
4. Big Pun
5. Ghostface Killah
6. Andre 3000
7. Jay-Z
8. MF Doom
9. Immortal Technique
10. Slick Rick
That's a combination of influence, style, flow, lyrics, content, consistency, relevancy and individuality. I could probably draw up another by sitting down and taking each one of the attributes into account and applying it into a /10 rating, but I estimate the list would look something like this anyway.
