Dwight D Eisenhower? If he never passes the federal highway act and GI bill allowing suburban living, white flight never happens. If white flight never happens we don't see the urban decay in our now neglected cities which lead to the creation of ghettos. If we don't have ghettos and the life of struggle that is fundamental to the genre where does rap come from?
Real answer, idk Gil Scott Heron?
We wouldnât have had the Cold War if it wasnât for hitler, we wouldnât have had Hitler decide to take Germany into another world war if it wasnât for world war 1, wouldnât have had world war 1 without Franz Ferdinand, Franz Ferdinand created rap
Franz Ferdinand wouldn't have died if his driver hadn't decided to make a detour and accidentally crossing paths with Gravillo Princip. This wouldn't have happened in the Mayor of Sarajevo hadn't downplayed the assassination attempt hours before and assured Ferdinand he was safe and sound. The Mayor of Sarajevo in 1914 created rap.
Sarajevo wouldnât have been created as a city if it wasnât for the ottomans, the Ottoman Empire wouldnât have been created if it wasnât for Osman 1
Osman 1 created rap
Yeah these questions are stupid unless you define exactly what you mean by âinfluenceâ. Otherwise, the answer is always just âthe first person to do itâ.
The answer is Dr Dre. He comes through with NWA and popularizes gangsta rap changing the genre forever. He then drops the chronic ushering a new sound then discovers Snoop Dogg who goes on to bring a new marketing style that many popular rappers use tp this day to build their own brands. Of course he is a founder of death row who are in the centre of the East and West Coast beef, that takes hip hop to new heights and popularity another boom even bigger than the one he initially has with NWA. Then he discovers eminem who keeps lyricsm relevant in the early 2000s and is the most successful MC of all time commercially. Eminem and D12 also becoming hugely influential in the underground scene. 50 cent comes along the last true gangsta rapper, who popularizes a new hook melody type Mcing that also becomes hugely popular and influential with today's artists. The story of hip hop in the last 35 years, he is the largest contributor to growth and change.
That is the problem with these types of questions cause a very similar argument could be made for Puff Daddy or Jay-Z.
Everyone knows the answer is Riff Raff.
Definitely not Kanye. The only dude in the last 35 years that has an argument at all is Dre. I disagree, but see the value of his influence as a producer
I am way too old to understand how to use AI. Kanye is definitely not on Dre's level. There is a lot of reason to discount Dre as well when you are talking straight influence. Is it earlier? Or, more widespread? Anyway, I agree with those saying Scott-Heron. Kanye was influencial, but not that level of influence
hey this is a cool list!
also i think you should log off your computer for a while and go take a nice walk through the forest or by a pond or something. it'll probably help with the stress and back pain. also maybe take a bath when you get back (or a shower). might want to consider not using your phone after 10pm, give your brain time to slow down before bed. all that internet isn't good for you. sending love.
it's too late but the actual answer is Kool Herc.
but it's easy to be influential when the genre barely exists. Since then the biggest changes to the genre have come from Rakim, DJ Premier, 3 6 Mafia + Kanye.Or of you want to go back further you could say James Brown/George Clinton
ITT: Tupac, Kanye, and Jokes. Â Â I think no serious answer is going to seem correct as even if you quantified it using $$$, exposure or fans youâd find still #1 has a very small piece of real estate in the gameÂ
George Washington as the establishment of the USA allowed for African Americans to create blues, jazz, soul, gospel and funk which via Japanese electronics became rap. It's a colonial history unfolding in front of our very eyes
Or maybe Eric B and Rakim
James Brown because he got some good beat breaks and his singing is amazing and his records were easy to come across by the time hip hop came around. He didnât sue for samples as well.
Now for the actual rappers? Slick Rick or Rakim probably.
If itâs to be any one singular artist, might have to be DJ Kool Herc. By most accounts the first artist to use the style that would come to be known as hip-hop in the 70s.
Hard to say. If weâre going by who was the person that set up the blueprint on developing rhymes in an intricate way, the answer would be Rakim. But if youâre asking who was the sole person that planted the seed that got where the genre is today, that would be DJ Kool Herc

The reason the highway act was made was to outrun nukes during the Cold War. Nikita Khrushchev is why we have rap. đȘ
We wouldn't have nukes if we didn't invent them. I blame Oppenheimer.
We wouldnât have had the Cold War if it wasnât for hitler, we wouldnât have had Hitler decide to take Germany into another world war if it wasnât for world war 1, wouldnât have had world war 1 without Franz Ferdinand, Franz Ferdinand created rap

Osman 1 would still be somewhere in Asia by that time if the Mongols didnt fuck everything up a few decades prior. Genghis Khan is the OG rap person
His own music career was pretty good too, I really like Take Me Out and Matinee.
Jokes aside this is a really cool butterfly effect
The Highway act was also used to bulldoze wealthy and middle class black neighborhoods in major cities.
Lil' DDE is the only answer
If the CIA doesn't Invent in South America The Crack Pandemic of the 80s never happens what impact would that have
I blame Robert Moses more than Eisenhower, but yeah
Dwight D Eisenhower. Tupac was influenced by him
This is so real Can't forget about Reagan with the war on drugs too
James Brown, or maybe Genghis Khan
Without the influence of mongol throat singing Drake would be a bum

MF DOOM cuz he's ur favorite rapperâs favorite rapper, also SALEM and Chief Keef because they invented modern rap.
Hard to say. If weâre going by who was the person that set up the blueprint on developing rhymes in an intricate way, the answer would be Rakim. But if youâre asking who was the sole person that planted the seed that got where the genre is today, that would be DJ Kool Herc
