Most Influential Rapper of All-Time

There have been many rapper over the last 20 or so years. Some great, some terrible and some legendary. So my question to you is who do you think is the most influential rapper of all-time?

I'd have to say 2pac because to this day his music is still being heard (even if it isn't that great) and all most every rapper in the game will say 2pac. It seems as if it's a requirement for rappers to mention pac's name as an influence to be accepted. Too bad none of them learn from him and try to broaden their sound and rap about reality not no half-ass dance songs...

Opinions...?

Im gonna say a toss up, between the two guys already mentioned. 2pac and Eminem. Eminem is my favorite rapper, but 2pac probaly had the biggest influence in rap ever. When 2pac was blowing up I was still just a kid his music didnt affect me like it did others. But I listened to his stuff and loved it. Eminem his music I can relate to more than any other artist. When 2pac got big he had a million rappers trying to copy his style(Ja Rule im looking at you). Eminem opened the door for white rappers to get big, without Eminem there might be no Paul wall, Bubba Sparxxx, Lil Wyte. And without 2pac there might be no Eminem or alot of other rappers. Eminem is also the biggest selling rap artist of the last ten years, but his biggest influence was 2pac so its close.

If a rapper is your role model, than you got a problem.

I say none of the rappers. If i had to pick one that has done a lot for the comminity maybe darkman X, Dmx.

2pac is an easy scape goat to say because he died, if Pac was still living I wonder if people would still say him. Although he was a great rapper, I'm not sure he's the most influential. I'm going to say NWA, they brought that street edge to hiphop, long before Pac and Biggie.

How could a fowl mouth, ho humpin', rim spinning, coke sniffin', dead beat, be a role model anyways? No disrespecting those whom are all about that.

Ricardo Rodriguez apparently has his own stable in WWE developmental territory FCW with Raquel Diaz (Vickie Guerrero's daughter), Tito Colon, Conor O'Brian and Kenneth Cameron. In a segment on the recent episode of FCW TV, Rodriguez did a storyline interview and said that WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio is his employee after Del Rio came to Ricardo's father's agency a few years ago and they signed him. Ricardo said in the interview that he and his "associates" would take over FCW and then WWE.

I don't see that happening... It's a good way to put over an angle in FCW, though.
