5. Nas
Although Nas has recently struggled to find mainstream success in modern hip-hop, his legacy can easily be felt far and wide today. He has released eight consecutive platinum albums and sold 25 million worldwide. He also has had six rap albums reach number one on the Billboard Chart, tying him for 2nd all time with Eminem and Kanye West. Nas is known for his ability to create an unmatchable combination of lyrics and production as well as a unique style that incorporates storytelling and deeper meaning behind his songs. Nas' career has spanned three decades and the masterful lyricist shows no signs of stopping or slowing down anytime soon.
