Eh...Jimmy influenced fashion, slang, and memes more than music.

Pusha is pretty derivative though given the lane he's in despite how great of an emcee he is.

If we're strictly talking impact on rap music, I'd say neither particularly influenced the game.

But Jim Jones did help pioneer some fashion trends associated with Dipset and had the whole country shouting "Ballin!" for a year. If you consider that "influencing rap" then I guess the answer is Jim Jones.
Clipse had one of the most influential instrumentals ever though “grind’n”

Why would you argue that? Jim set more fashion trends than Cam. Max B and Stack were under Jim. Max B was locked up but somehow he came out up to date wearing brands he never heard of when he was free. :bryan:

Pusha T catalog is overrated as shyt I remember the critics tried to paint that 7 fukking song album as some masterpiece man please

Max B had family and friends too. He didn't come out of prison a refugee tf.

Max B's style was influenced by Stack Bundles' style. That's the "Rock Star" look.
Jimmy got his style from Stack, and got his swag from Max and Stack.
