Nas is pretty amazing.
Note that none of those 4 are heavily in my rap musical rotation (except Black Star from Kweli and Mos Def, which I still play probably once a month or more).

Finally, five pages in Talib and Mos Def get a mention. Talib really has no equal lyrically. Mos is right there with him too. For me, blackstar is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever, and can be argued the GOAT.
