Ok, let's make a list of trailblazers who changed the game: - Doug E. Fresh
- Ice T
- KRS One
- Salt n Pepa
- RUN DMC
- LL Cool J
- Public Ememy
- Mc Lyte
- Hammer because he was performer
- Russel Simmons because he started it
- Queen Latifah
- Big Daddy kane

This list is interesting because most of these people came from the 'Golden Era' of hip hop. We could argue that this era changed the game, period. There were so many artists at that time that brought something new to the rap game - the whole De La/ATCQ/Jungle Brothers movement, the whole consciousness movement with X-Clan, Poor Righteous Teachers, Lakim Shabazz, etc. I think that era as a whole changed the rap game. Can you tell I'm just a little bit into my old school? lol

I'm with you. Rakim needs to be on that list.

I agree. Kris Parker definitely needs to be on the list as well.
