Which group has had more influence on Hip Hop?

[Ghost Utmost]

NWA.... that was when gangsta, thug, trap, ghetto, etc etc etc became a profitable, marketable, #1 seller

BINGO

There was 50 types of Hip Hop before Gangsta Rap consumed all. NWA was the pivot point and basically everything was Gangsta pretty soon after that.

Even now. People think gangsta shyt is synonymous with rap.

I'm stunned Grandmaster flash didn't get any love.

People don't understand.

Before Flash, rap wasn't about social conditions.

 

[The Gimp]

Ice Cube was influenced by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 usin this classic beat from the message

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Grandmaster Flash and the furious five.

-foundational to turntablism
-foundational to the modern poetic/technical mc
-moves rap further away from it's party/disco roots

 

[Self_Born7]

EPMD!
