All of you will have your own opinions on this one. So play nice!!!

All answers can be male/female, solo artists/Groups/Bands, any skin color, hip-hop genres (read: mention crunk at your own risk!!!) from any locations around the world (yes, that include the U.K.).

Just organize your answers by decades:

1980's

1990's

2000's

Plus Bonus Question: To you, who is the best rapper ever?

80s - don't know much 80's hip hop... Mantronix maybe.

90s - PWEI, Beastie Boys, and maybe whoever did that song about "Our agenda" wu-tang-clan(?)

00s - Mr Scruff (not really hop hop

) Don't like much of this modern day over-compressed r'n'b hip hop.

90s very difficult (the best decade for hiphop) Gang Starr, Death Row artists (Dre, Snoop), Rawkus artists (Common, Mos Def, Company Flow etc.), Kool Keith etc. etc.

, Missy Elliot (more RnB than hiphop), Outkast, Roots Manuva
