Like any time this sort of list is developed (not just for hip hop artists - books, movies, games, tv shows, etc. etc. etc.), there is never going to be a consensus and everyone will bring a different perspective to the table.
With that said, here are my Top 10 Hip Hop artists:
1) A Tribe Called Quest
2) KRS-One/BDP
3) Little Brother
4) Nas
5) Public Enemy
6) De La Soul
7) Eminem
8) Gang Starr
9) The Roots
10) Outkast
Just because a lot of great artists are not included in this list does not mean I am not aware of them or think they suck. If anything, it speaks to the quality of music and the talent of the performers that so much good hip hop has come out the last 40 or so years.
