If you had 2 delete 1 of the following artists from hiphop history who would it be?

[wordsRweapons]

Take away Kanye and Today's game is almost non-existent

Todays game is garbage though(although its improving). What if Kanye's influence hurt the game??? Im a kanye fan, but im just speculating....

 

[Presteezh]

Take away Kanye and Today's game is almost non-existent

Y? I mean yea he has had a huge impact but there aren't really any artist he birthed other than himself. There are other great producers. I see losing him out of all the rest the only thing that keeps things as close as normal as possible.

 

[BackInWhite]

Your favorite rappers all listened to them growing up and loved the impact they had on both coast u get rid of either one you may lose ur favorite rapper.

you know why they all listened to them niggas?
cuz they fuckin died
if tupac was alive wouldn't nobody be callin him no phenomenal lyricist or sayin stupid shit like
"he was simple and basic but his passion evoked emotions from the listeners like no other"
fuck that
he was average as fuck and just yelled a lot
if biggie was alive niggas wouldn't be callin no nigga with 2 albums the best rapper
like i said
fuck both them niggas
scratch them off the history page of hip hop

 

[H-Rap 180]

No Big you can forget Jay, without his early ties Big never would of thought of himself as best never had balls to challenge Nas... Nas would be sole earner to crown.

That corny shit has no foundation.

JayZ had the brains and hustle to get into this game without Biggie...this aint some romance novel were people can make up silly scenarios and what=if's that defy common sense and logic.

JAZ-O was JayZ's mentor and more responsible for his success than anyone else..Biggie aint have shit to do with JayZ's success.

JayZ dropped "Reasonable Doubt" on some kingpin shit there is nothing on that album that resembles "Ready to Die", not in lyrics, not in themes, not in substance.

You give Biggie waaaaay too much credit.

 

[ChuckieInDaMurderAve]

Kanye since I don't listen to him all that much. I could live without Jay-Z and to a lesser extent Biggie too. The east coast fan in me is mostly pre-93.

 

[jek]

and I disagrree wit these cats saying tupac cuz without him the game woulda been way soft and niggaz woulda probably been on Ma$e dick,...hiphop woulda been full of rappers with no substance or street cred and they woulda had errybody (rappers and fans)tryna buy cloths resembling aluminum foil N shit... fuck outta here!

 

[frozenheartwjlb]

Damn props on thread. I would have to go with Biggie. I could give up his 2 albums anyday over the rest listed. I mean B.I.G really made the smallest contribution. Its kind of an easy pic. Thread would have been better if you replaced him with Eminem. Then you would have a hard choice to make.

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

I would have to say em.

Shit man i don't know when u started listening but I listened to both while they were alive and they were talked about just as much when they were alive. The eastcoast/westcoast beef was blown outta proportion over 2 rappers beefs while they were alive, not after they died.Your favorite rappers listened probably even choose sides when they were alive even if u didnt.

 

[ImGettingOld]

Outkast can get deleted

 

[Aquaf!nafloe]

Definitly not Tupac because his music is on the Vatican playlist and archived in the Library of Congress for cultural relevance...his music is studied in the Ivy league Universities of this nation so his musical contributions expand waaaay past the boundaries of HipHop.

Hell no not JayZ his longevity and business acumen has turned him into a mogu/ pop-icon...he's a classy dude that represents the culture from a corporate aspect giving an example of a Black man who can handle himself in the Lily white business world.

Hell no to NAS, he's one of the most respected lryricists in the game and few other emcee's alive embody the true essence of hiphop better than Nas..he went from projects to pyramids on some alchemical ish.

Hell no to Outkast they held down the South and proved that Southern HipHop was more than just chtlins and choppers. Their legacy is waaaaay to influential to delete.



Kanye West is probally the most over-the-board talented artist that Hiphop has ever seen, from his visuals, samples, lyrics, fashion, production, and ability to drum up controversy..he reps his region on some legendary ish you cant delete yeezy

Id lead Biggie to slaughter, NY already has JayZ & Nas..Biggie is just fodder..a hideous man who rapped about raping children and having sex with transexuals, a beast who ate his fried-chicken in the nude and brutally beat the Black out of LiL Kim.

Biggie was a toxic cock-eyed gorilla who was corny and overrated, his meager catalog severely lacked substance and his over-the-top claims of poverty were refuted by his own mother....Id delete Biggie from existence if given a chance.

........................

 

[wordsRweapons]

Em fans are soooo retarded who said Em doesnt have Talent? All im sayin to take him away and Hip Hop doesnt suffer.... You mad ur idol is not that important in Hip Hop History?

EMINEM was not on the LIST!! What dont you get about that??? Did you read the first post or the POLL??? Where do you see eminem on there?
Fuck and you call me retarded?? Learn to fuckin read

 

[ChuckieInDaMurderAve]

I'd delete Tupac. Who needs Tupac when we got Scarface

To be honest with you, Scarface would have remained trigger happy had he not been influenced by Pac's more emotional material from 1995 onwards. He did have his "Now I Feel Ya" and "Mind Playing Tricks" but those type of material were in small number compared to the nihilistic nature of his early material. Wouldn't change much since Scarface is perfect at anything he raps about but using Face as an excuse to hate Pac just sounds dumb. No offense.

Resonable DOubt dropped queitly as fuck.... Jaz-O would've led Jay-Z to exactly where he is...no where. Dame and Jay-Z saw what puff and Big were doing his influence was way more than u try to discredit him for. Oh and lets not forrget how Jay constantly quotes Big. Again that was one of his major influences

 

[MastaAceTheGOAT]

Ya'll not taking Outkast, so don't even try it. Ya'll can delete all them other niggas, long as we can keep Kast.

exactly, my first thought, why the fuck is outkast in this discussion

 

[lamontbdc]

jay and ye would be outta of there

 

[adagreat]

none but i'll delete ying yang twins nicki minaj or whiz khalifa in a heart beat!

 

[Presteezh]

He birthed Drake, Lupe and the whole "Backpack" thing.... I mean he made it more "Mainstream" IMO..... So these new agers wouldnt exist without Kanye....

I thought of Lupe more of a Nas like rapper when he first dropped... But even if Kanye Birthed them... them i can do without easy

 

[wordsRweapons]

I thought we established i didnt want to pick from the List so i picked Em... Seemed like the more reasonable choice....

Naw, thats why i was arguing. It seemed liked you were just hatin since he wasnt even on the list. But thats why eminem wasnt on the list because it is an easy choice for the racists.

But for sure then.
