1.DMX (before the bad crack habits and impersonating a police officer)
2.Wu-tang Clan (bigger fans of Ghostface Killah & Raekwon out of them all)
3.Big Pun (always amazed me how someone sooo big could lyrically spit so smooth and fast)
4.EPMD
5.Eric B. & Rakim

Of course theres bunch of others..Slick rick, dougie fresh, Geto boys, talib kweli, tribe called quest, leaders of the new school, mos def and the list goes on.. Ive always been a fan of lyricism and rap songs that told a story or could paint a picture of what the song is saying.
