Lupe Fiasco / Kid Cudi's older stuff
Common
Ludacris
Jay-Z's older stuff
Dr.Dre
Mobb Deep and Bone Thugs
Oh and by the way no one from Cash Money is good or ever has been; they just developed an amazing marketing strategy for their artists and went with something that would appeal for the mainstream.

I'd agree with most of your selections. Luda recently killed drake on a diss tape. Met Common before, he is one of the realest cats out there.

Lyrically, I think Drake is the best among that group and his recent album kilt it for me. Drake's albums have always been something I listen to for months and not be bored with it. His recent one is another example.
Wiz and Mac are also some of my favorites but mainly their older stuff... mainstream is ok but B.A.R. and Kush and OJ is the Wiz i like to listen too.

The track "Lord Knows" produced by just blaze made me go ape shit. I mean that beat goes so hard I get teary eyed.
