As my first taste of Aceyalone, I have to say that Accepted Eclectic did impress me. However, I doubt that Ace-One would be one of the greatest rappers out there. If you're looking for the next level, try listening to MC Common. While I won't deny that Ace-1's beats and instrument usage adds a dimension SORELY missing from most hiphop albums, I find his lyrics missing the wordplay of a Talib Kweli, Mos Def, or a Common: That is, he's missing that playful sensibility, and despite some of the smiles that AE gave me, it becomes harder and harder to listen to repeatedly. So, in conclusion, I think Ace-1 is a good introduction to the non-mainstream rap, but it's a stepping stone. Try listening to Common, or Mos Def, or even Talib Kweli once this album becomes boring.
