We're talking strictly about presence and the command that a certain artist had over you as a listener.
Artists that come to mind for me are:
-Pac: Not the greatest lyricist, but he was the master at drawing people in and making you forget about everybody else on the track. Alot of people tried to duplicate but they just get the automatic
because it's so clear it's not real
-ODB: Strange, but
. He mastered his style and was my favorite member of clan. I was always waiting for his verse, and I don't know why, but the nikka just spoke to me 
-DMX: He'sthe reason I thought started the thread. I wasworkin' out this morning and had my music on shuffle and dat Life is what you make it track with Nas came on and I ain't hear that shyt in forever. I am a Nas fan, but X made ol' boy sound straight up boring. It's not just that song tho; Every feature this dude is on he is the showcase, at least for me
-Andre 3000: Why nikkas keep letting him get features on their track, I have no clue, but dude makes you listen to every word in the verse and brings it all together and stays true to the theme of the song. I admit, that voice that he uses on certain songs have me like
sometimes, and his lyrics and metaphors as crazy as people make them out to be, but he does go in and he's usually the biggest draw on a record
