    Rap genre specifically and/or music overall

    Chief Keef is definitely one of the the most influential artists over the last 7 years. Throw Future in there as well.

    I think you're probably right. But please don't call him a Rap God. Unless you're being sarcastic. If so, nice troll. Jay-Z would probably be The Only Rap God alive. And The Humble Honorable Mentions Runner-Up For Who Would Contentiously Qualify To Have That Label Fit Them Perfectly is Reggie Noble himself. The only man who, on his worse day, still releases fun and listenable music. Also, without Dare Iz A Darkside, Acid Rap would never have gone mainstream. Cage wouldn't have existed. Slim Shady LP would have remained shelved.

    And last but not least, Dre would have cut his first conversation with Em so short that he wouldn't have even bothered to say more than, "You look like a g.d. incarcerated banana.", because he was rocking the rare not-so-mellow yellow Dickies One-Piece when they met. Anyway, another one would be DJ Lord Infamous. He's innovative as far as production style is concerned. Also super influential. Just ask A$AP Rocky's In-House Production Crew. Lyle and Beautiful Lou know who the grandmaster of this s--- really is. Also, SpaceGhostPurrp, who fell off quicker than MAKKONEN.

    soon as I saw the title I could tell that someone

    1. would bring up eminem
    2. someone would s---t it down
    3. the stans would catch wind and start swarming.

    so far we've gotten through the first two... :sad2:

    This, tbh. R.I.P. Speaker Knockerz. He'd have easily been the savage goblin of G.O.O.D. Music.
