[Tonio1986]

Biggie got the style from Kane? Dont Agree.

 

[DPG iz all I C]

I agree that Redman should be in there somewhere

 

[txbarrebaby]

Where did Outkast get their sound from?
Or how about Bone-thugs-N-Harmony?
Or Scarface?
Or N.E.R.D/The Neptunes?

Yeah some artists are heavily influenced by some of the greatest in hip-hop/old skool pioneers....but that does NOT mean all rap/rappers can trace their style back to a set list. That is just plain ignorant
