Puffy had every right to be on this list. This list was about people who CHANGED THE GAME in hip hop. Puffy ruled hip hop from 98-00 after Biggie was dead. That is refered to as the "shiny suit era". He truly was one of the first to do the bling bling and all of that.
If this were a list on LYRICAL skills alone, I'd be

but it's not.
Ja Rule, as much as I can't stand the rat, did change the game with those collabos with R&B singers. Now everyone is doing it. Too bad it blew up in his face.
some of the artists that are being spoke on are good lyrically, but I wouldn't of put them on this list if this is a list about who has made an impact on hip hop. Just because you have good skills doesn't mean you made a impact.
