Imo though, hes no where even close to a top 15 current mc. Off the top of my head: Nas, Hov, Jada and Styles, Sigel, Lupe, Joe Budden, Common, Mos, Kweli, Black Thought, Cassidy, AZ, Andre 3000, Em when he feels like rapping even after the wackness that was Encore. I could go on with better rappers but might as well try and put ppl on to artists.

Fuck it, just go buy Illmatic, light up and listen all the way through, that ladies and gentleman is hip hop.
To each his own. Lil Wayne spits fire most of the time. I don't see why I had to choose either. I listen to Wayne, but I also listen to most of the stuff you mentioned and more.
