Hip Hop Mount Rushmore: Whose on it?

[Vonte3000]

Slick Rick was quite innovative, with the storytelling/style etc.

You can say Dre was with his production or Jeezy was with trap they won't be on the mountain.

Honestly the people you mentioned are integral to the foundation of hip-hop but not iconic enough to share that platform with Tupac, they would look really out of place - you could remove Tupac from it and go for something else though

ok but Afrika is there no matter what

Russell Simmons, Dr. Dre, Pac, Jay Z

Dre might be mentioned, Jeezy no. An yeah have to pick just 3 or 4 people Slick wouldn't be on it, but he was an important MC.

[Black Magisterialness]

Kool Herc, Nas, Afrikka, Pac

Kool Herc and Afrika because obviously....

Nas, because haters or not iLLmatic is the measuring stick for which all debut/solo albums are measured and Pac because of his near-martyr status in popular music.
