He was in a video or two.

^You gotta good point with MC Lyte...
10% dis?
paper thin?
:applause: MC Lyte was the sh*t back in the day... She was a little bulldykish, but she dropped some gems early on when females wasnt known to come thru like that
Always amazes me how overrated biggie smawlz is
[B][COLOR="Navy"]Roxanne original popular female rapper, Salt n Peppa made female rappers world famous, MC Lyte lyrics and delivery. As I mentioned before.... ugh!
Lauren Hill changed the game and will forever be a legend for the time she was here but influential changing the game I dont think she did.
Anyways, Puffy made Biggie. Biggie was good full of potential but that first album was produced mostly by Mr. C who brought him out but Puffy gave you the finished product (doing all the remixes people have come to know and love). In regards to PDiddy, he has been in the game for a long time as a dancer then talent scout which was later to be A & R. His craft was honed under Dr. Jekyll most of you all dont know who he is. Most of the artist you all are attributing to PDiddy were not his but under Uptown Records before PDiddy took a prominent role.
I do agree PDiddy changed the game with the help of Biggie by making glam hip hop popular. The heavy spending glitz and glamour in the excessive manner PDiddy did that.
I think NWA (which obviously would include Dre Ice Cube etc...) and Ice T should go hand in hand with gangsta rap...
Too Short one the greatest selling artist without publicity and nasty lyrics ever...[/COLOR][/B]

[B][COLOR="DarkGreen"]On a side note before I moved to Japan 6 years ago I found some cross color clothes I owned and unfortunately threw them away.:hammerhead:
Actually I became a house dancer mostly by the time this came out... But I was still a hip hop DJ then

You forgot Sylvia Robinson.
Kool Moe Dee should be on the list as he single-handedly ended the Busy Bee-style era of emceeing.
