Some examples:
Sugar Hill Gang: Posers from Jersey who changed hip-hop forever
Sugar Hill Records: The driving force behind the gang. They also gave an outlet to Kool Moe Dee, the Furious Five, etc.
Queen Latifah: 'nuff said
Mark the 45 King: His work DITC, Gang Starr, Flavor Unit, Eric B & Rakim, etc. Where would Jay-Z be without "Hard Knock Life"?
Naughty by Nature: The hooks, man
Redman: helped bring griminess into east coast rap
It goes on. Chill Rob G, Lakim Shabazz, The Fugees, Mr. Len, Artifacts, Lords of the Underground, etc. NJ doesn't get its due. Jersey cats changed hip-hop forever with "Rapper's Delight". Jersey cats brought hooks/choruses to their current prominence. A Jersey cat helped launch the reign of hip-hop's most successful figure and helped get one of hip-hop's greatest groups off the ground. A Jersey cat owned the east coast mixtape circuit in the early '00s and is still one of the leading foils to people like 50 Cent. Jersey runs New York.
