Dr. Dre because he's a producer, rapper and record owner.

Kurtis Blow- After all he's the man who brought rap from the streets to the worlds attention,in the early days of Hip Hop.

FreeOnes makes me moist!
clearly Dre. as a producer he's had an impact through other people's records. Eminem & 50cent are two of the biggest rappers around at the moment and Dre's behind them both...

Of the three Dre, because he's still going strong today.

If I had my choice, I'd have to pick Grandmaster Flash. He and the Furious Five teamed up for the first mainstream rap song ever, "the Message".

I used to enjoy Ice T as well.

Sorry to tell you this Black Star,but Kurtis Blow brought through Grandmaster Flash.Also 'The Message' wasn't the first mainstream rap song ever,it wasn't even in the top ten.It was the first to speak of the times and politics going on at the time,what was happening on the streets.

I stand very corrected. Rep for you, if I could.

In my dreams I have fucked Jenna Jameson.
Poggy just blew my mind with that info.. I mean, I already knew it. But the fact they he knew it surprised me.. I also, would rep you if I could. shucks.


Either way, I voted other. To be honest, all three of those former N.W.A. members wouldn't have it the way they did without the rappers of the late 70's and early 80's.

Chris whats up, do you have two accounts you are posting with here?

No problem,that is why I said Kurtis Blow he's the man who brought rap mainstream an also had a hand in bring some of the best early rap stars through.Examples -

Run DMC
Grandmaster Flash
Melle Mel
LL Cool J
Doug E Fresh
Afrika Bambaataa

To name but a few.Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang was the first major hit in rap music though.

Is it just me, or has LL Cool J been around forever? Lately, his music seems to have been all about the "ballad rap", or something of the sort. I know that earlier in his career his songs had more diversity, and I think it's time for LL to hang it up.:2 cents:

Loved early Hip Hop,but used to be hard work getting here in the UK in the early 80's.Going round the record shops looking through the import records section or having to order it and pray they'ed manage to get it.

The good old days:1orglaugh now day all you have to do is turn on your computer:( not nearly as much fun.

Yeah LL gone Hollywood,like Will Smith (Fresh Prince).

I completely forgot you leave in the UK, that's even more impressive.

I personally never got into commercial rap. I'm a little young for 70s rap, but I did my best to listen to all "old school music". I always preferred conscious rap though. Guys like Talib Kweli, Mos Def, A Trible Called Quest and Common are much more to my liking than 50 Cent.

It's good to be the king...
I can't believe DJ Kool Herc hasn't been mentioned. This guy virtually invented Rap - Bambaataa and other early rap/hip-hop pioneers all practically acknowledged that they got started after seeing Herc in action. IMO, Herc had the biggest impact since he kicked it off.

Bambaataa's "Planet Rock" showed the world that rap was here to stay (I still consider it one of the most important records released in the 1980s), and Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" showed that rap wasn't just a "novelty" (like how SugarHill Gang & Kurtis Blow were received),

Also, the early unsung pioneers like DJ Red Alert & Grandmaster Caz deserve respect due....:thumbsup:
