Me as myself i think 2pac influenced it the most because he was intelligent and a poet, and he made songs for old folks, young folks, small kids, big kids, etc. And he was an actor. He did it all in a thugged out intelligent kind of way.

Awesome guys. By the way, Kool and the Gang were a funk band. Little to no involvement with hip-hop. |

Run DMC. They paved the way for Hip-hop and helped it to appeal to a bigger audience especially with the collabo with Aerosmith.
And Rakim introduced more creative lyrics and wordplay into emceeing. Like Steven said, he's mostly every rapper's favorite rapper. |
