Greatest Hip Hop Artist/Group Ever

The above was my groups opinion. Solo Mc's I would say the best is arguably Rakim or Nas but there are are core of about 10 elite rappers who all deserve mentions.

Rakim - legend and pioneer
Nas - street poet and creator of the greatest album from the genre
Andre 3000 - innovator, entertainer, complex rhymes and flows
Big L - master of punchlines and great flamboyant style. Awesome storyteller
Ice Cube - great angry and political rapper, arguably the West coast's finest
2Pac - a poet before rapping and it shows in his lyrics. Clearly influenced by Chuck D and Ice Cube early on but found his niche with Me Against the World. He was more than just Hip-Hop
Ghostface Killah - great storyteller, one of the best discogs in Hip - Hop
Chuck D - one of the best for political Hip-Hop
Biggie - loads of style, insane flows, another great narrator

There are some I have forgotten but all of the above are important in Hip-Hop.
