A couple of these are essentially a matter of opinion but I'll take a stab or two at 'em.

  • Greatest lyricist? Beats me.
  • Overall greatest/most complete MC ever? Canibus (emcee) DOOM (for a producer/emcee)
  • Overall greatest/most complete MC alive? Same as above
  • Overall greatest/most complete MC dead? Big L (I know PUN will get some love here too)
  • Most consistent MC in terms of albums? 
  • Most consistent MC in the game? Canibus 
  • The most unique MC? El-P (Aesop?)
  • The most underrated MC? Jean Grae! (Sage Francis? One Be Lo? Supastition?) CunningLynguist (group wise)
  • Greatest punchline rapper? Celph Titled (for the funny personals) & RA(for the how the hell did they come up with that similes)
  • Greatest battle rapper? Sage Francis (Thesarus? Apathy? Esoteric?)
  • Greatest freestyler? Eyedea (Slug?)
  • Greatest flow? Could go in so many directions. Apathy, Louis Logic, Celph, GZA, Ghostface, Pharoahe Monch.  
  • Greatest improvement from the start of their career to wherever they are now? I would say Vinnie but he just changed completely. Not so much an improvement as an unexpected shift.
  • Longevity in the game? Ghostface for relevancy sake.  (Killah Priest? Canibus?)
  • MC with the most potential? Akir 
  • MC who has a lot of potential but is sometimes inconsistent? Jus Allah
  • Greatest duo (MC and a producer)? Atmosphere (7l & Esoteric? Rakim & Eric B>)
  • Greatest duo (2 MCs)? No idea. (Black Star? Blue Scholars? Jus & Vinnie? Psyklone & Possessed? Cannibal Ox?)
  • Greatest producer? Stoupe (Doom?)
  • The most unique producer? Al' Tarba (EL- P? Necro?)
  • Greatest group? Wu-Tang, y'know they set it all off.  (M.I.C.? RA? Demigods? CunningLynguist? AOTP? Snowgoons?)
  • Greatest LP? 
  • Greatest EP?
  • Greatest mixtape?
  • Greatest studio album? Rip The Jacker, Sin-O-Matic, Revolutionary Vol. 2, Violent by Design, Solitary Confinement, Overcast, Heavy Mental, Madvillany, Escape From Monsta Island!, Master of The Universe,p etc (There are so many, all for different reasons, I can't decide)
  • Greatest crowd-mover? Pharoahe Monch (Several others come to mind)
  • Greatest live performer? The Roots (group)
  • Greatest series of albums (i.e. Blueprints)? ....I can't seem to recall any. 
  • Greatest song? A personal favorite of my is 'I who have nothing' by JMT but I think's it's far from the best song of all time.
  • Greatest storyteller? Killah Priest 

    I think you should add best delivery. That would go to Celph or Canibus as far as I'm concerned.

    Okay, okay. I completely agree with number 2. Matter fact I wish I had answered it the same way. That still leaves the other four I'm trying to wrap my head around.

    Okay, maybe Lil Wayne's consistent albums wise because it's the same cookie cutter generic stuff in every album. So okay, I get that.

    But please expand on Nicki's potential, Birdman's uniqueness, and the Tear Drop Tunes mixtape.

    well for Lil Wayne being consistent that's exactly what I meant is how you put it, he releases practically the same album all of the time.

    Nicki (I hate) but respect that she has a lot of skill, but there is a huge gap between her stuff that is good and her stuff that is crap.

    Birdman's label has a hugely diverse group of talent. making him and his label the most unique to me.

    and Tear Drop Tunes vol. 3, was a great mixtape because it introduced me to a lot of talent, I hadn't previously known. (lil wayne, is over-rates. But he collabs with a lot great talent on his mixtapes)

    That I can agree on. But does that really constitute consistency if he's just recycling rhymes and beats for every album? Immortal Technique said it best. "If you sell a million albums it's got nothing to do with luck. It just means that a million people are stupid as fluck."

    Aww Nicki. I remember when she had shades of Remy Ma or MC Lyte. But meh, that's all faded now. She's the next hip pop sex pistol. I don't think she has much potential regardless. Akir (or Lupe for that matter) on the other hand has room to grow. I don't see Nicki doing it in her market. Which is sex sells. It's the oldest profession. Well, that and farming. And they both use hoes. I kid.

    Refresh my mind who's on Birdman's label again? By the way have you heard Rhymesayers, Babygrande or Definite Juxx stable? Dope spit.

    Birdman's artists.

     

    Birdman

    Drake

    Jay Sean

    Kevin Rudolf

    Lil' Wayne

    Nicki Minaj

    Young Money

     
    I also haven't heard any of those you mentioned.

    and as for consistency, consistency doesn't mean good or bad, it simply means to be homogeneous.

    @Caligula:
    So it's the same as it was back then just a few new artist. Now I'll probably get flamed for this but I just don't get Drake's appeal. I have feelings for the rest of those artist, all not too positive, but I don't have strong feelings about Drake either way. Maybe I just don't get him. 

    Might want to check out a few albums. They're pretty dope.

    Yeah, that's why I get the whole Lil Wayne deal.
