Best hip-hip artist to come out in the last 5 years???????

[fptz]

First and only artist that came to my mind when seeing the title of this thread is Kanye. I hadn't listened to my copy of Late Registration in a while and I recently put it back into my cd player... But that's some really good stuff, like! Not one artist who came out in the last 5 years can top that.

Now im not a big fan of Kanye but he has had a impact of hip hop in the last 2 or 3 years.

A impact today is different too remember that.
