Damn i've got quite a few but I'd have to say Nas.
He's an amazing rapper and he's always been consistent with his stuff. |

I've really took a liking to The Cool Kids. But my favorite hip-hop artist is probably Eazy-E

Just off the top of my head I would have to go with the following (and mind you, I'm not a very well versed hip hop aficionado, mostly because of the lack of exposure):
Lauryn Hill The Fugees (yes, the two are separate to me) Digital Underground DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince Arrested Development Mos Def (although obviously I haven't listened to nearly enough of him, as indicated in another thread when I didn't recognize him as a political artist ;)) |

Lupe Fiasco is definitely my favorite. Common and Jay-z are up there too. they're so smooth, clever, and good with words. |

favorite is infused with personal opinion. best is at least attempting to step back, look at the game, and evaluate various things. well, to me anyway. best and favorite aren't synonyms. there is no science, but i think if you have enough knowledge about the genre then you are able to step back and make real comparisons that aren't solely based on your personal taste. i am willing to call good music good, even when i don't love it. i don't think all music that doesn't appeal to my personal taste is bad music.
imo, kanye is not the best rapper, i think that is fairly obvious to people who know what they are talking about  he's my favorite though. i  dat
