I am not considering rhyme skills only. I am looking at the whole package.

1. Rakim (He may well have been solo considering Eric B.'s small contributions)
2. Jay Z.
3. KRS-One (A solo artist as Boogie Down Productions since his partner DJ Scott LaRock was killed prior to release of first LP)
4. L.L. Cool J.
5. Notorius B.I.G.
6. DJ Quik (more for his beats and production)
7. Talib Kweli
8. Tupac
9. Kurupt
10. Dr. Dre

None.

1. Rakim: Period.
2. KRS-ONE
3. LL Cool J: He was the prototype for the star MC.
4. Common
5. Mos Def
6. Notorious B.I.G.
7. Ice Cube
8. Jay-Z
9. Ghostface: a genius.
10. MF Doom
