OK, my votes for Q-Tip of the formally known Tribe called Quest.

i was gonna say the gza, because i do think he's the best, but that's just personal opinion rather than logic. people are suggesting stupid stuff. you might think aesop rock or jeru (or even guru - though i can't see why) is the best mc out there, but try writing a paper on why. you'll get 500 words written max, and that will just be about them, not what makes them great.
kool keith would make the best article:
he was in two (if you count dr. o) of the most respected rap groups around
he must have released at least 10 albums by now
he's been around forever
he's got his whole 30 different personalities deal - i'm sure you can figure out some cheesy way to say that that makes him better because there's 30 of him
his lyrics have been bitten by everybody
he could probably kill anyone in a battle - download some old freestyle tapes if you can find them - i think he's the only person i've ever heard who actually does just freestyle off the top of his head. i remember hearing him call exhibit 'everlast' on some radio show battle, and exhibit just couldn't do anything about it
there are a ton of really funny, really interesting interviews around from him that you can grab good quotes from instead of the boring "raised in the slum"/"the current urban situation is like this" type interviews that everyone else seems to do
you'd be stupid to pick anyone else.

All right stop, Collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo -- I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.Dance, Bum rush the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it, You better gain way
You better hit bull's eye, The kid don't play
If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves itIce rools...

common (sense) i used to love h.e.r. was and probably is one of the best, solid tracks out there...it just ran together beautifully, and the concept was ill for its time.
i dig jeru a bunch too, with can't stop the prophet, how he took his whole battle with ignorance and all that stuff and personified it...now thats what i consider dope....KRS is definitely up there. Nas.
Also, one of the best tracks i've ever heard was "nature of the threat" by ras kass....in 8 minutes, he deconstructs the history of the world....that's just f'ed up!
- onikid10
