Of course you have the creators but think about it.

Yea rap was funky and fresh and shyt during the early mid 80s and shyt. But lets keep it real, that shyt wouldve been old and dead by the mid 90s at the latest if thats all hip hop consisted of.

If it wasnt for NWA blowing up gangster rap, rap would have died off, or it wouldve been wacc as hell.

NWA blew up, thus inpsiring a whole new generation of rappers and a new hip hop sound. Dr Dre launced the chronic, which then set the tone for the time, and basically that early 90s west coast period was the blue print for the south, who eventually went on to run shyt.

Dre's key influences in hip hop:
Produced for and was a member of NWA, which launched Gangster Rap.
Produced and starred on the Chronic, which launced G funk, the sound of the early 90s that reached as far as New York.
Founded Snoop Dogg, the hottest rapper at the time.
One of the starters of Death Row Records.
Founded Eminem.
Foundedn 50 cent.
:wow:

Dre found 50 cent who is the most successful New York rapper alltime
Dre found eminem who is the most successful album alltime(sales wise)

Stop it.

Dre didn't "find" 50 cent, Em brought Fif to dre. And Fif is a more successful NY rapper the Tupac or Jay-z?

2pac isnt a NY rapper and Jay Z buys his albums and was never as hot as 50 in his prime

But 50's prime was only from 2003-2005. Dude was hot (no homo) for TWO years :heh:

Jay's been around since 96' and he still hasn't fallen off :whew:
