Young Justice · 11-24-2008, 07:03 PM

Daaaamn, but I cant vote now, LOOOOL... nevermind, 50 = da boss (in my opinion)

BornIntoThis · 11-24-2008, 07:06 PM

QBTrueG · 11-24-2008, 07:06 PM

B.I.G forever. NaS is ill, but hardly influential.

OneManArmy · 11-24-2008, 07:36 PM

Rakim without a doubt. . . but from that list. . Hova.

Legendz · 11-25-2008, 04:48 AM

i voted 2Pac

Hannibal Glock · 11-25-2008, 08:26 AM

Tupac of course!!!

YoungChungyBoyz · 11-25-2008, 11:33 AM

50, he changed the game.

reINCarnation · 11-25-2008, 11:37 AM

lil wayne for suree ... he's changing the whole game as we speak and making it his own, he has his own style and is the most unique, he just appeals to every genre of music.

king0fny · 12-12-2008, 10:34 AM

I had a hard decision between 2Pac and Biggie. Biggie has been sampled many times in songs nowadays, but i think without 2Pac a lot of these rappers would not have had opportunities like they do now, i.e doing movies and expanding themselves outside of rap. (look at 50) And look at how the west has fallen off since Pac has died. Of course, the aging of Snoop, Daz and kurupt..along with their beefs and Dr. Dre not coming out with detox, has all played apart in it. But in the mid-90's everything was about 2Pac and the west.

I also don't think we will see anyone like Pac and Big again. A lot of the new popcrap rap is just to get hot on a ringtone. And of course people are going to be drawn to Wayne when there is no other voices out there. Remember "da block is hot"? A lot of people laughed at Wayne then. Listen to All Eyez on Me or Life After Death..classics.

Young A · 12-13-2008, 06:53 PM

|Seraphim| · 12-13-2008, 07:03 PM

right now I'd say its lil wayne, i don't think anyone can disagree with that (I said right now, not all time). All time I'd go with 2pac or NWA.

How are you gonna say he doesn't deserve to be on there? He's influenced as many rappers if not moree than Tupac. If anybody doesn't belong on there, it's Wayne and 50.

Which rappers has Pac influenced besides 50 Cent and Ja Rule? I didn't say Jigga had more influence than him; I said as much. And who have Wayne and 50 influenced worth mentioning?
