So hard to say now, as production has become as important as flow.
Talib Kweli is up there for lyrics, as just about any rapper will tell you.
Kanye and Jay are up there for production.
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).
