I have seen hiphop grow over the years into mainstream music,but if it wasn't for a pioneers in hiphop i don't think it would be the way it is now. On top of my list has to be Run DMC, they influenced a lot of upcoming artists in hiphop. They totally changed the way hiphop was viewed when collaborated with rock n' roll icon Aerosmith in "Walk this Way." A few notables:
NWA- First rap group to speak for young black people and made society know how blacks feel about being harassed by the police. (Fuck Da Police, what a wonderful song that made a whole lot of sense)
LL Cool J- First rapper to make songs about the ladies
KRS-ONE- First to rep south Bronx on a record
Slick Rick- First rapper to begin storytelling
I know there are a lot more but these are the most influential in my eyes. Please share your thoughts!
