I remember Nas, Scarface and Cube were talkin about making an album together. I knew that would never come to fruition but shyt would be dope, even at this point in their careers.
Imagine that album in 93

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

Kool herc
Rick rubin/russel Simmons - they pushed hip hop to expand globally
Nas
Jay


Laff, but if u wanna talk influence, I'd put puff before Big. Before puff, big was not "flossing" like that and he and Masta p helped drive the movement in hip hop for artists to be more financially independent.

Granted, puff ucked over some artists.

I posted this on SlOHH's version of this thread back in the day:

1. 2 Pac
2. Eazy-E (He found Bone, formed NWA which birthed Cube, DOC, Dre and you can go deeper by adding the guys who Dre 'found' like Snoop and Eminem and the guys that Snoop and Em found like DPG and 50 cent etc.)
3. Rakim (birthed most east coast GOATS)
4. Scarface(he is the south's papi)

Fact: without puffs marketing and biz savvy big wud be jus another Nice rapper.

And since BIg has died he's amassed damn near a half a billion dollars. The most successful cats financially, known in political services, communities, liquor, clothing.

Like I said, he's been very influential.

No doubt, he has a great business mind/work ethic but to me Hip Hop Mt. Rushmore should be about the music first and foremost. I guess after giving it some thought you do have a little bit of a point. Hip Hop, more so than any other genre, is more than just music but a whole cultural movement.
