You know what really, really sucks about ICP? Some of the backing tracks and production (done by Mike E. Clark) is actually really good. But...every single other thing is just so fucking bad. The rapping sucks, the concept sucks, J and Shaggy are morons, the Juggalo movement is fucking horrifying. But those beats, man. Those beats. I honestly believe that any other rapper could do crazy shit with them. I wish I could find instrumentals, so I wouldn't have to actually listen to ICP.

statement: kanye west is the most influential figure in modern hip hop / rap
Kanye West is a beast though and he's like the master sampler, he brings older music into this generation with sampling and I love his songs.

Just been working through all of Odd Future's free stuff in the last couple of weeks. Earl's stuff is fantastic, genuinely funny guy.

It's good, but it's all stuff we've heard before, you know?
[QUOTE=Treybuchet;28264189]statement: kanye west is the most influential figure in modern hip hop / rap[/QUOTE] As much as I hate to say it, it's Eminem.
[img]http://i.bnet.com/blogs/jayz.jpg[/img] Jay-Z is far more influential than both kanye and eminem, and has 11 #1 albums to show for it.
[QUOTE=Nifae;28267696]Kanye West is a beast though and he's like the master sampler, he brings older music into this generation with sampling and I love his songs.[/QUOTE] Producers have been sampling since the beginning, he only stands out because less people do it now. It used to be that every producer sampled. Kanye is known for his pitched up voices, but the first person known for this was RZA the producer for Wu-Tang. Here are some examples.

Jay-Z was pretty much the king from the time Biggie died to the rise of 50 Cent, but these days he's mostly just making money. He's still a good rapper but instead of creating trends he's [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhludN8yU0s]complaining about them[/url]. If we're talking people who're topping the charts and getting copied by everyone we're talking Lil Wayne, Kanye, maybe Drake.
It's kind of hard to know who's influential, that's something you learn years after.
