The Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls) is the most commonly cited answer. His technical mastery—flow, storytelling, wordplay, and vocal presence—set a standard that few have matched, and his influence on hip-hop remains enormous despite a tragically short career. That said, this is inherently subjective, and strong cases can be made for Tupac, Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and others depending on what qualities you value most.
