None, they all added something different. This whole idea that Hip-Hop was some great conscience music is a complete load of BS. The first radio song was a song three guys bit from another group with a beat taken straight out of a disco song, and the song was made to dance. The next big Hip-Hop song was about basketball and the biggest artist of the time made singles about their Adidas. The only artist back then spitting knowledge was Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's Melle Mel, and even then most their songs were on some party and dance subjects. So I guess with that, I vote New York. But not with all the biting now, but New York ruined it pre-1986.

But not with all the biting now, but New York ruined it pre-1986.there is no way New York could have ruined since they invented it .hip hop was originally about partying . it has to be another region for it to be ruined . they region that ruined it was the south aka ATL & new orleans . but you are half right about new york being part of it .biggie & puffy started the down fall then cash money helped finish it. we also can't forget the fans & main stream who listen to wack ass music like puffy,cash money , ja rule after the first album , & D4L, Shawty Lo, snap music. We also have to thank society for becoming a scared little bitch that rather blank out everrything bad life & pretend like it is not . society rather be in denial then face reality & be conscience.
I also blame Nelly for the financial collapse of 2008.
What about puffy with the shiny suits and flashing rolexes in videos.What about ja rule turning hip hop into r&b ( so many rappers in love on the radio)Cash money with the bling bling faze.Nelly is 2000 version of LL cool j but at least LL made some real hip hop records to go with his résumé.Lil Jon deffenatley dumbed down lyrics and screaming obsenery on records.A lot of one hit wonders came from the south with catchy beats and hooks with no real content, just straight bull shit.You could also throw the west in their for introducing LA gang culture and spreading that shit around the world that got everyone thinking their some kind of straight up G. Right OG Will B? Double OG classic? Lol
