Along with Jamie Claude wanting to know Ghana's best rapper, we want to discuss who Africa's best rappers are. This is a chance at learning about the best rappers from various African countries too. Here is a list from BBC's Djedu by way of Jamhuri wear.
DJ Edu's list -
1. K'naan- Somalia
2. Pro-Kid - South Africa
3. Scientific - Liberia
4. Karizma - Zimbabwe/UK
5. Bigg - Morocco
6. Eldee- Nigeria
7. Sway-Ghana/U.K
8. Kru-kid- Uganda
9. Bamboo- Kenya
10. Reggie Rockstone - Ghana
I am not familiar with the work of some of these rappers but people like K'Naan and Sway are really big, and deserve a mention. Even though I'll agree with the fact that they are two of Africa's illest emcees, they are not based in the continent and have the big record companies backing and promoting them.
From the little I know and have heard, these people should also be in any top ten list of top African rappers - Mensa (Ghana), Blitz (Ghana), Mode 9 (Nigeria).
To make sure the discussion doesn't sway :-) around too much, let's stick to rapping in English. Let us know who you think Africa's best English rappers are.

mode 9 is the illest rapper in nigeria and maybe the best in ghana too
ask about him
mode 9 most definitely is the best
check out his website modenine.net for more of his songs

this is a no-contest, sway beat world-class american rappers to win the UK award (MOBO), he's the best
you should listen to him on his myspace http://www.myspace.com/swaydasafo
Have you heard Sway's song called Black Star?
The song is on fiyahhhhhh!!!
I also like Sasha from Nigeria, she's good.
Africa's best rapper is Sway DaSafo, you gotta check my boy out.
His flow is sick, especially on that Black Stars song

i don't know too many english speaking rappers from africa but here is my top 5 because i am not too familiar with english speaking rappers from africa
1. Knaan from somalia
2. Simba from mozambique he raps in english
3.HHP from South Arica
that is all i can come with
but i think dama do bling is undoubfully the best rapper from africa IMO she is sick. ..she makes lil kim or foxy brown look like amateurs she is a pro
Dama do Bling is definitely one of the best rappers in Africa. I hear great things about Azagaia too. You should also check out Bradez and Sarkodie from Ghana. Other candidates should be Movaizhaleine from Gabon, Mwana FA and Professor Jay from Tanzania, and then Elvovo from South Africa. I like what I've heard from Naeto C and M.I from Nigeria as well.
talking of gabon, have u heard of this gabonese artist called kabo or something like that, this guy has quality music videos but his songs are crap
