I understand the logic of what you're saying but all you have to do is throw Big's version on in a club or party & see what happens. To me that's one of the definitions of a classic

The influence is more rappers started moving out of their comfort zones & worked with different regions & started emulating their flows. Big spearheaded that
If we're talking earth-shattering, generation-transcendent, still talked about and quoted and sampled today, truly iconic songs (not just the really dope songs like some people are listing)
Hypnotize
Kick In The Door
What's Beef
Mo Money
Notorious Thugs
Going Back To Cali
Ten Crack Commandments
Can make a case for You're Nobody too

I'm from Chicago, and Bone was HUGE out here during that time. That style of rapping was big in the Midwest, with groups like Psycho Drama, Twista/Do or Die, and Crucial Conflict. I was a youngin' but I know that Notorious Thugs was a smash out here. Easily one of my favorite Big songs ever
