Forget that **** list, who would you pick in general.

Biggie all time overall

Busta Rhymes on rapping virtuoso

Dre and RZA not for rapping but as hip hop architects

What about an artist who started their career in the last ten years?

That's what makes this discussion so hard because you have to consider that many rappers are kings in a certain aspect. Like Eminem's technical ability. Or NWA's major impact. Lupe's word play. Kanye's been the most influential rapper of the last two decades.

Earl and Tyler

I like Future

New names I'm interested in 21 Savage and Kodak Black

Linafornia
Quelle Chris
Dalek
Scruffnuk Dust

I honesty don't think Kanye is influential at all

First he would have to do something unique

MF Doom is the most influential rapper of the last 20 years.

At least he's interesting

Also...not a gay fish.
