I guess there's no love for some of the old school legends (at least so far) in this thread. I know that Jay-Z is in the mix, but you can't forget guys like Ice-T and Chuck D. I suppose if we're just talking record sales then it's a pretty easy comparison, but for my money it's also tough to overlook a guy like Maestro Fresh Wes. He had some great music and while he obviously didn't sell as many albums as the big US stars he was pretty solid IMO.
Before I get too far ahead of myself though I'm gonna throw out KRS-ONE as a guy who undoubtedly belongs in the conversation.
