it goes like this...

guru from gangstar
talib kweli
eminem
mos def.

there are def some honorable mentions, like game and banks. but the rappers i listed are the people i really feel bring the realness to the table.

i swear, if anyone mentions camron or the diplomats on this thread, i will die laughing at their lack of taste in hip-hop
