some key people in Hip Hop history:

Afrika Bambaata and the Zulu Nation
Eric B and Rakim(the god)
Big Daddy Kane
Slick Rick
Kool G Rap
The Fugees (you did mention Lauryn Hill though)
Big Pun (basically gave Latinos credibility in rap)
Big L (prefected the punchline)
Schooly D and Ice T were credited with starting "Gangter Rap"
There was no real recognition of The Wu Tang Clans dominance in the mid 90's
i dunno, a bunch of other stuff too, that was just all off the top...you dont have to add all that stuff,,,some of it is pretty significant in the history of hip hop though
