Yeah, Aceyalone a clear winner for me.

Looks like the luck of the draw wasn't too kind on Diabolic, I do like him.
He conveys a real passion in his music and his diss track on Tyler The Creator was brilliant

But he's got a long way to go to match up with a veteran like Aceyalone.

Aceyalone 3
Diabolic 0

I'm the odd man out here as my pick is Diabolic. Both are great MC's, but Diabolic clearly goes harder. Completely different styles and lyrical content, but Diabolic is more of my scene right now.

Aceyalone - 4
Diabolic - 1

I've followed Acey for a few years, and I love his styles. His many styles. Listening to his albums in order, you see the creativity brewing and the skills getting better. Plus, I smoked with him after his show.

P.S. We gotta at least bring it to 100, but honestly, I think it should've been a little more encompassing, otherwise why include artists like Will Smith? At least go to 100; you should add Immortal Technique, The Grouch, Myka 9, Eligh, Sunspot Jonz, The Gift of Gab, E-40, Mac Dre, MC Paul Barman, Zumbi of Zion I, Doseone, Tech N9ne, Pharoahe Monch, Illogic, Apathy, Masta Ace, MURS, Abstract Rude, Busdriver, Cage.

Saw Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, and Myka 9 playing a show in San Francisco. Pretty small joint. About 100 people total. Smoking out back behind the club, Myka and Acey come out. We started up a smoking circle with about 10 people besides Acey and Myka. I'm way more of a Myka fan but Myka was swamped in conversation. Acey and I got to talking where nobody else was really payin attention and he asked me what *I* felt like he should do next, or if I had any ideas... What a question... I had to do a "Well, everything you put out is dope, and you obviously know how to not get stuck in one style... you know how to switch it up, so just keep doing you bro" /fist pound /pass blunt

I think we could make it an even 128 for bracketology's sake. (128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1). Gotta add Canibus, Chino XL, R.A. The Rugged Man, DMX, Lil Wayne, The Game, Ill Bill, Saigon to your list, amongst others.

I would say none of those rappers would be worth adding, considering most if not all of them would immediately be eliminated in the first tie. They would be horrible additions for this forum as well because the majority of us know and appreciate good hip hop fairly well. My suggestions would be One Be Lo, Proof, Phonte, Elzhi, Murs, Books (Skoob) and/or Dray, Posdnuos, any of the Hiero crew, etc.
