There's levels of impact tho. An album like The Score had a huge impact but it didn't really do much to change the genre
they was like 18-19 when Juvenile Hell came out. around 15-16 when they was "Poetical Prophets". I think everyone assumed they were younger cause they were short

It opened the door for Missy to have a career though
They were both 18 when Juvenile Hell dropped.they was like 18-19 when Juvenile Hell came out. around 15-16 when they was "Poetical Prophets". I think everyone assumed they were younger cause they were short
Prodigy turned 20 on November 2, 1994, so he was 19 when they recorded Shook Ones. "I'm only 19...

If it wasn't for Lauryn, she would have continued as a writer for R&B groups.
Lauryn gave her a style for her to run with

Add capital punishment to the list as it ushered in the latin era in hip hop from late 98-2000
What late 90's latin era? And if Pun ushered in a "latin era" then what about Cypress Hill?
RD to me was just an extension of everything that was going on in hip hop at the time. Everybody and their mama was a don
not only that Jay was relatively unknown so I think a lot of that had to do with why that album fell under the radar when it was initially released. On Vol 1 he showed that he really was about that life when most rappers were just pretenders

What do you think about the impact of Vol 2 Hard Knock Life though? Game changer? He officially established himself as a monster in the mainstream at that point. To me that was the beginning of bragging about going platinum and multi. Artists were taking out ads in the Source letting folks know how many units were pushed. The beginning of street music meets the club with minimal complaints from the boom bap purists.
I might be reaching a bit, but I think an argument can be made that the hook on Hard Knock was the prototype (at least one of considering Rza's work) to certain forms of sampling that became popular later on down the line. It kinda reminded me of Biz singing on Just a Friend, but with the original vocals. Nursery rhyme hooks became the go to for a increasingly dumb it down public.
