And dre. Probably not even in my personal top 5 but I respect them as such.
If we're including producing Kanye is definetly in the convo.
And I'm not arguing in favor of him being in the top 5 but if we're going by earnings and sustained success, Drake will break some records before he's done and finished.
top 1,000. How about Rakim, Kool G Rap, Erick Sermon, Jadakiss, Q-Tip, Mos Def, DMX, AZ, Common, Redman, Ice Cube, KRS-One, LL Cool J, Scarface, how about half of the Wu-Tang clan?
Almost forgot about the most under rated rapper of all time...
It's Inspectah Deck and two random guys from Boston who basically rap about wrestling and comics and other random shit, and it's great. Link - ( New Window )

Think it's Deck is with 7L and Esoteric, who have been doin shit w Jedi Mind Tricks for years now.
RE: Almost forgot about the most under rated rapper of all time...
Are Rakim, KRS one, Q-tip, Bid Daddy Kane and a whole host of others not alive and I missed something ?
I had pretty much the same sentiments, with Big Daddy Kane at the top of my list. There are tons from that area that could write and rap circles around any of these clowns. And Kanye on any greatest list is absurd.
I gotta be a fan of anyone who can write lyrics like...
"I'm buzzin', Dirty Dozen, naughty rotten rhymer
Cursin' at you playas worse than Marty Schottenheimer"
Lists change over time, but just as a snap reaction here
Honorable mentions to: El-P and Killer Mike (Run the Jewels), Joey Bada$$, Action Bronson, Ghostface Killa, Raekwon, Andre 3000, Royce da 5'9", Jay Electronica (is he ever going to drop the album?!?!), Mos Def aka Yassiim Bey, Talib Kweli, MF Doom, Aesop Rock, RA the Rugged Man, and many more...

Black Thought is a good call as underrated, that guy can rhyme over anything.
Not relevant but M.O.P. for life!
