Ab Soul is legit, definitely. Off topic a bit but I recently read or heard that A$AP Rocky has the largest vocabulary in his music. His word bank is larger than even Shakespeare's

Immortal Technique is an artist

You might be thinking of Black Star with Kweli and Mos Def (Def is up there too just hasn't put much out recently)

The stupid answers are like Isaiah Rashad lol and hate to say it because he is legendary but it's the "white rapper" mold Dre built with Eminem but I've never really like Em, while he was popular I was listening to Headsho7s (Atmosphere), Brother Ali, and EyeDea who are all better lyrically

Ummm Kendrick is really good right now still would bpget slaughtered though by some of the names on my list

If you do like Kweli you should really check out Pharoahe Monch

That wasn't ASAP Rocky. That was Aesop Rock.

The study and accompanying infographics are actually kind of fascinating:
