[mobbinfms]

:pdahellclean::havdahell:

 

[nieman]

I'd say Run DMC

 

[Trilogy]

Migos

 

[85 East]

NWA.

Ruthless records catalog.
Death Row records
Aftermath
Shady
G-Unit
Cube Vision
Beats by Dre
Etc...

All of those things have NWA in common. No diss or taking anything away from any of those other groups, but NWA had a bigger impact over all, and still continues to today.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

run dmc... no matter the duo be they are from the west or the south..they all looked up to run dmc

 

[Sauce Dab]

3 6

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

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

 

[filial_piety]

Very hard to say...because eoch groups represents a genre that influenced the next one....that being said..I'd go with NWA simply because much of what they were talking about and HOW they were talking about it influenced rap from the late 80s til the present time.

NWA weren't the first to curse or rap about drugs, sex and violence...but they were the first to make it OK to do so and go mainstream with it.

 

[BK The Great]

NWA

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

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

 

[GreenGhxst]

Eric B and Rakim, weren't they like the first real heavy lyricist, forgive me if I'm wrong

 

[Bugsmoran]

Run Dmc

Breakdancing, graffiti, dj'ing and rapping was basically all equal until Run Dmc blew up with the Raising Hell album

They made Rapping the most important element of hiphop so they are the most influential

 

[OHSNAP!]

Migos

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Very difficult given the selections. Each of those groups played a major role in the development of rap music. I suppose out of all of them I'd say NWA because they brought a seismic shift to the game that's still felt to this day which to me makes them the most impactful.
