Typhoon24: Most influential hip hop artists?

Jasdevi087 07.08.17	yeah that's all three of them
hikingmetalpunk 07.08.17	schoolly d
Jasdevi087 07.08.17	damn
LeOmegaOnslaught 07.08.17	lol wayne gucci derp LOL, Niggas should stop derpin and listen to decent rap instead, like old mobb deep, nas, a tribe called quest or MF DOOM
Masochist 07.08.17	NWA. I'd argue that 'Straight Outta Compton' is like the 'Nevermind' of gangsta rap.
DominionMM1 07.08.17	run up if ya wanna it aint no thang I pull my gun up midnight to sun up
Typhoon24 07.08.17	i was thinking of nwa but i explicitly remember cube and dre saying Ice T was where they got the ultraviolent west coast gangsta stuff. edit: i know schoolly d invented gangsta rap but ice-t sold more records and caused more controversy and it was just better? lol schoolly is still number 1 in the hood, g
AlexKzillion 07.08.17	Feel like Eminem is a lot more influential than people ever give him credit for.
Typhoon24 07.08.17	true
LeOmegaOnslaught 07.08.17	Feel like Eminem is a lot more influential than people ever give him credit for. The problem with eminem is that after encore he went downhill compared to their early stuff, sure, he has released MMLP2 and Recovery which have some really epic tracks but he released a lot of bad shit during the encore and relapse era, and shady XV is one of the dullest album I've listened from a rap legend
Masochist 07.08.17	LeOmegaOnslaught - That's all right...bad albums do not make someone less influential. Wu-Tang has, maybe, two good albums as a whole group (out of seven), but no one can deny their influence. Eminem has Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, and maybe The Eminem Show that really influenced a whole generation of rappers (of all colors, from 50 Cent to Yelawolf to Macklemore to Hopsin). That all being said...Eminem got his style from Esham, and Esham got his style from Geto Boys, who basically created Horrorcore. I think they definitely deserve a spot on here--we might not have Eminem, TechN9ne, D12, or (loathe as they are to admit it) any of the OddFuture guys without GetoBoys.
Typhoon24 07.08.17	a lot of people could say that wutang fell off even worse than eminem did after wutang forever and we had redeeming moments in ghost and rae's 00s albums. im thinking about influence. yet i dont know anyone who has taken from his style (slim shady vs marshall mathers duality) that's also a dope successful rapper. maybe all those rappers were just showing respect or giving their list of greatest rappers. like u could argue future is more influential. kinda conflicted on this one. eminem influenced ed sheeran for gods sake
AlexKzillion 07.08.17	Even with that, seems like he is the archetype that every ~lyrical~ white rapper strives to be and he has his fair share of impersonators (Hopsin, Louis Logic, Asher Roth), hell I'd even say Kendrick and Ab-Soul sounded a little too much like Eminem back around 2009-2011, as well as God Loves Ugly-era Slug.
AlexKzillion 07.08.17	"yet i dont know anyone who has taken from his style (slim shady vs marshall mathers duality) that's also a dope successful rapper." Tyler the Creator? "(loathe as they are to admit it) any of the OddFuture guys" Can sort of agree with this, but Earl has always come off to me as more of a Doom influenced guy tbh
GhandhiLion 07.08.17	No Public Enemy?
Thalassic 07.08.17	Needs Mobb Deep
Kompys2000 07.08.17	Beastie Boys Public Enemy [2] "Feel like Eminem is a lot more influential than people ever give him credit for." Hate to admit it but you're probably right
Relinquished 07.08.17	mf doom def influenced a good amount obviously Run DMC
hikingmetalpunk 07.08.17	bdp/krs
hikingmetalpunk 07.08.17	epmd
EyesWideShut 07.08.17	gucci mane
BAT 07.08.17	kool keith
bloc 07.08.17	Agreed Straight Outta Compton needs to be here. It came out in '88 and was def ahead of its time. Oh and Big Daddy Kane too. His rhymes have been sampled sooooo much in other hip-hop it's crazy.
Hep Kat 07.08.17	backed except 808s cuz that shit is garbage and that sentence bout bangin screw cuz spoken like a true whiteboy who aint never dreamt of sippin on dat barre
Hep Kat 07.08.17	"Develop" a cough, get the 4 oz jawn, whole shit in the double cup, shot or two of sprite depending on the size of your manhood and jolly ranchers or skittles for the same reason
Intothepit 07.08.17	Not trying to dredge up old Sputnik memories, but KRS should be up there.
Hep Kat 07.08.17	Louis Logic > Idiot
GodLovesUgly 08.04.19	Kool G Rap as well, there is probably over 100 MCs that would say G Rap influenced them, Road to Riches would probably be the most influential album of G Rap & Polo, just my opinion
GhandhiLion 08.04.19	Kool Herc Afrika Bambaataa Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five The Cold Crush Brothers DJ Hollywood Run DMC Public Enemy
StarlessCore 08.04.19	Keef
Typhoon24 08.04.19	Yeah I need to redo or update this haha. 2 years changes a lot
