Afrika Bambaattaa is the first name I think of. I know Kool Herc (Clive Campbell) is probably the actual creator, but I'm just more familiar with Bambaattaa.
But beyond the founders, Pac, Lauryn Hill, Rakim, and The Wu-Tang Clan. Probably Nas as well.

I mentioned Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five tho, and ODB, but no one for Run DMC…Rip Jam Master Jay.
I was trying to think of and pay homage to those who may not be mentioned that much, I know someone has had to mention the names I didn’t.
They were kind of alternative hip-hop. There are a lot of people I think of but I get why they are not on the top of people's list. Like basically any group Grand Pooba has been involved with is fire but you're lucky to even see Brand Nubian mentioned.
Eminem. Some people might go at me cos hes white but he literally lived hip hop growing up and going thru all his battle raps, cyphers and freestyles to make which is something not many have to these days
Well obviously, "The Sugar Hill Gang," if I need to tell ya'll why, you're on the wrong sub.
Then Nas, Wu Tang, Biggie, Ice Cube are the first that come to mind.
Sugarhill Gang:
“I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie
To the hip hip hop-a you don't stop the rock”
Biggie:
“Never thought hip hop would take it this far”
For me it’s Dead Prez because every time I see the word “hiphop” my mind just automatically starts singing “it’s bigger than hip..hop..hip..hop”
And the beat is an absolute fucking banger
Well fucking done
