Here's my list.
1. 2Pac 2. Nas 3. Biggie 4. Rakim 5. Eminem 6. krs-1 7. Scarface 8. Jay - Z 9. Talib Kweli 10. Ice Cube

Tupac lyrically shouldn't be top 5.
He has charisma, charm and one of the best flows of all-time but genuinely how many songs can you rock to of his on a constant loop? California Love? Hail Mary? Anymore ? His subject matter is diversified and had a unique way of delivering it but it hurts to say Biggie > Pac.
1. Nas 2. Jay-Z 3. Biggie 4. Big L 5. Rakim 6. Immortal Technique 7. Brother Ali 8. Sage Francis 9. Eminem 10. Tupac

Marty, good call on the 1-2. Nas and Jay are just hard to top.

I don't really like the content of Eminem's stuff but he's really talented.

His body of work is mostly awful. His albums all add up to shit with a few songs where he has really good flow but mostly talks about nothing. He devoted his career to talking about his mom, his ex-girlfriend and his daughter. His songs are all trite, the words are all the same, and he's boring.

Who the fuck actually describes a rapper's work as 'trite'? You'd get your ass beat in the hood just for using the word 'trite'.
And Eminem is barely a top ten rapper - the dude is out of his mind and definitely can hold his own with the best.

Jay Z and Nas are definitely 1 2
Eminem should be around 9 or 10

Neither Jay-Z or Nas is the best rapper of all time. And I love Nas.

No way is Jay Z number 2. I'm definitely a fan of his, and Reasonable Doubt is one of my favorite albums, but none of his later works come close to what he put out early in his career.

You didn't listen to the American Gangster album apparently. One of the best albums of all-time and the Black Album was also a classic. I was never a fan of Jay-Z until recently. He's top 2 hands down.

AG was one of his best albums, but it is not one of the best albums of all time. It's solid, but come on man. who's #1 ? Lil' Wayne? GTFO What an ignorant assumption. Of course because I said Jay-Z and Nas aren't #1 I think Lil Wayne is. I mean, that's just logic.
