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.
EXACTLY! Illmatic is the PRIME example i use to friends that say that wayne is better than nas and older school shit like KRS one kweli mos def i dont know, wayne is good but cannot compare to earlier rappers. wayne has some sick flow, and we've seen it develop over the years, but the element his raps are missing is the flow plus the making sense, only real lyrical geniuses could pull that off, Gang Starr is a perfect example of that...
