I am personally a fan of Talib Kweli, Souls of Mischief, Jurassic 5, Atmosphere, and Hieroglyphics so I would add them into the mix. I can't really see any of these being on any "top 10 of all time" lists though.
I also have to say that in terms of mainstream success, LL Cool J (who I would argue was the first rapper to use his sex appeal) and Beastie Boys should be in the argument.
