Pooping on your head :umad:
Easily Jay.
Growing up in the 2000s Diddy was keeping himself relevant with random shyt like Making the band, Vote or Die, etc.
In the 2000s Diddy was kinda like an male Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton where he was kind of a celebrity that was always in the mix and was just kinda.... there
Yeah he released music in 2006 and 2011 but it was pop music and the streets wasn't checking for that type of music from Diddy.

Hip-hop answer:
Puff created a kingdom outta NY off Bad Boy.
Jay made great business moves, but if we talkin' longevity of impact in hip-hop, it's Puff.
If it wasn't for Puff getting BIG on, I don't think Jay would have seen the success he did early on.
Not sayin' he wouldn't have got it, but Puff changed the ecosystem of hip-hop that made it easier for Jay to eat.
Love him or hate him, Puff had that spot by '97 and jumped the shark with Shyne in '99.
Objective answer:
Robert Moses.
