Note: it's very normal to disagree with some...
...cause the list is basically on how I feel and for how long I've been an hip hop head, I may be right about a few.
I'd appreciate if y'all can show some love.
Thanks.
Here's a list of number 50-41.

50. Big Sean.
Sean is easily one of the best lyricist of this generation whose projects are above mid. His top notch flows can make him go head to head in a ring with any rapper out right now and it's no doubt how mature his music is at the moment.

49. Jadakiss
The respect he has earned through out his career speaks for itself, from his super raspy flows with the trio 'The Lox' and 5 solid studio albums in the 2000s. Jadakiss in his bag can body your fave on a good day.

48. Ab soul
Easily one of the most slept on. And heavily conscious rapper with wordplays that can hardly be matched.
Put some respek on his name!

47. Joe Budden
So you don't know Joe could rap?
A soul who doesn't back down from a diss consistently bodying beats with bars. Before being a media personality, he was a a major voice in slaughter house.
And he is not to be f'd with.

46. Method Man
A talent that bodied pac on a track and even biggie on the track 'the what'. He was a major voice out the wu-tang clan even if majority feels he never did too well with his solo projects. He's a legend still.

45. Freddie Gibbs
Easily one of the best flows we've heard on wax. Dropping raw contents and has one of the best discography in the new hip-hop age.
Off the mic, Gibbs is one hell of a mood.

44. LL Cool J
Talk about longevity, cool j despite the odds did reinvent his style to fit in hip-hop landscape with time. Talk about making good hit records way back, u can't push LL to the side plus having a very dope discography.

43. Rick Ross
Lemme hear you say 'da Boss'
RickRoss mature rhyme Scheme while balancing his cadence on every instrumental should be studied along side his longevity. You need a feature on a raw rap tune, holla at da boss.

42. AZ
After debuting on the track ' life's a b**ch' with Nas back in '94, AZ will fit perfectly in a list of underrated rappers in history, his debut album 'Doe or Die' under EMI reflects how underappreciated he is.
Hes got a high pitched delivery, with aggressive lyrics.

41. Snoop Dogg
When you think of keeping it gansta and still making hits, u talk Snoop. It's clear releasing classic hooks in hip-hop ain't for everyone. The chronic is what it is cause of snoop and not forgetting he gave us doggystyle. He's a huge success ever since.

39. Big L
Gunned down at an early age which was considered his prime. Big L legacy did the living as he left alot of projects which solidified his spot as one of the most poetic rappers ever.

38. Canibus
When you talk being known for your esoteric psych-rap transcendence you talk Canibus. He is ever ready for a rap battle. To have battled Eminem and LL cool J along side his other works, clearly, he is a worthy lyricist.

37. Royce Da 5'9"
He is half the bad meets evil duo and with the way he steers the mic and subdue every beats he gets, you can't just toss him away. Talk cadence+delivery+bars. 5'9" is top tier.

Think of him as the new school Ice cube, a panther, one to always voice out whose superpower is his versatility.
He debuted on Outkast's LP 'Stankonia'

35. Drake
Easily the face of modern hip-hop. What is there not to say. Drake in his element can body a rapper on a beat as we've seen many times. Safe to say he is the king of hits. ' I got more slaps than the Beatles' is a bold statement.
Give him his roses.

34. Prodigy
No disrespect to OGs RIP prodigy (Eminem)
The major face of the duo Mobb deep. A pivotal player in the East Coast Rap. 'The infamous' till this day remains an all time great.
He was heavily involved in rap beefs(hov,pac,...) cause his skills were that solid.

King push!
Who talks coke better?
Who plays by no rules in a beef better?
Push is easily someone not to fucked with and can boast of multiple classics, it can be argued that he's got one of the best rap voices in history.

29. 50 Cent
His influence in hiphop scene can hardly be matched. Came back on the scene and bodied the whole community with his GRODT album. His discog is majorly classics and he brought in a new sound to rap that sounds a bully on a beat. No one would wanna beef Curtis.

Sure made a name for himself with his conc mixture of passion and spirituality. Late in the 90s is a major highlight of his career releasing 2 albums in a year and both ranking number uno.
Take a trip back his career and you'd know what he force he was.

He is a man of culture and has got a pretty dope discography.

26. Redman
I wonder why he doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's inspired a whole generation including Eminem. No one does the storytelling in such a lively way as Redman. U can't be bored of it.

Despite the time he spent behind bars, slick came out and did justice to bars.

Respect the OGs.

When your fave commits and shoots himself on wax, blame it on Kool G rap. Often regarded as the grandfather of hardcore hip-hop. And take this from me, way back , most street slangs and tales were taken from Kool G raps rhyme book.
So rawwwwww!

19. Lauryn Hills
From breaking up with the Fugees in 98'. Lauryn can still boast of a timeless album ' the miseducation of Lauryn Hill' which is still sampled by many, Drake included till this day. She's isn't just the best female emcee but also can earn a spot male + female

He's had one of the biggest influence on some of the greats.
Check out ' only built 4 Cuban Linx' yo.

Y'all remember the group A Tribe Called Quest.
This dude right here helped uplift and pioneered the Jazz feels to rap.
Pushing boundaries with his Afrocentric ideas even without screams.
Give him his roses.

15. Common
When you talk an indigenous street poet , a story teller and a rap battle warrior flying the Chi-Town's flag for 2 decades, Give it up for Common.
His mature lyrics, cadence and delivery makes him almost impossible to not enjoy.
He's got one hell of a discog ukr.

You gotta agree with me that as some point in his career, everything he touched became Gold.
He has one of the best mixtapes run in rap history.
Weezy made punchlines look easy and he's got one of the best rap album series with Carter.
Tunechi is legendary.

Common man, a politically-salient dude and a voice for the street.

Who's got the best album run of straight classics in recent times.
Kanye is top 2 and he ain't even number 2!
Often perceived as insane by the same mouth that refers to him as a genius moments later.
Who's got the balls to feature God on a track if not yeezus.

Only a few emcee has managed to sustain their alignment with the streets regardless of mainstream success.

9. Eminem
A once-in-a-generation talent if you ask me. His dystopian rhymes , complex flows, meticulous phrasing and experimental wordplay makes him one of the finest rappers of all times.

8. Kendrick Lamar
The greatest of this generation. Kendrick is a classic album away from moving up the charts. clearly he's picked up a few from the greats and it only made him better. Released one of the dopest runs of classic albums in History. Kendrick has got it to be num 1

7. Black thought
A surgeon at emceeing, reaching only for the most incisive effect that a line, verse, metaphor and punchline can convey. An emcee who doesn't settle for mediocre bars always searching for top notch lines in every flow.A rap bully and he's one hell of a freestyler

The Godfather. Celebrating his skills instead of rapping about guns.
Who started the multisyllabic rhyme pattern if not Rakim.
Remember Paid in full? Rakim is half the member of one of the greatest duo in history.
He said no one raps as good as the num uno on the list

With no solo project, Andre is still top tier. A member of the rap group, OutKast.
He was rap Renaissance man cause of his abilities. A rapper that can sound entirely different when he pleases.
He legitly killed every guest appearance on a song.
Go listen to Aquemini

3. Jay Z
From the tongue twister to all cool vibes. Hov has inspired on and off wax, and he did push the boundaries in the rap scene. He's one of the few to achieve the most considering how late he kicked his career

No one has as much influence as pac. No one!
Pac was way ahead his time with his prophetic like bars.
Afeni's son. For a soul that was cut short at age 25, pac really was clear cut blessing the streets with ghetto gospels while keeping it gansta 100%.
