if you look at my response at the top you will see that I said you have
to have impact on a major scale. He brought in the pop star talk. If
you look at the legends of the past they were popular in their era. LL,
Rakim, KRS, etc. Those that weren't like a Kool G have directly influenced
someone who became great, Nas.

I have been consistent throughout. The guys I named have impacted hip
hop on a major scale. They either influenced a legend or had their hands
in legendary projects. The talk of pop stars, being household name in
white households and the other BS was brought to the table by other
people.

and I'm not gonna keep going back and forth with the Madlib debate.
I'm a fan of his music but he hasn't had significant impact on hip
hop IMO and at the end of the day we're arguing over opinions so i'm
done.
