No one cares. Knowing this will only get you in jail or working at Mickey D's and BK, but you already know that.
Try memorizing some simple math, some grammar and pronunciation, and how to dress for a job interview. No one wants to see your underwear when you apply for a job.

The term hip hop (also spelled "hip-hop" or "hiphop") refers both to a musical (see hip hop music) and cultural genre or movement (hip hop culture) that was developed by African Americans and Latinos predominantly in urban communities over the last quarter-century. Since first emerging in New York City in the seventies, hip hop has grown to encompass not just rapping, but an entire lifestyle that consistently incorporates diverse elements of ethnicity, technology, art and urban life. There are four fundamental elements in hip hop: hip hop dance (notably breakdancing), urban inspired art (notably graffiti), DJing and MCing.

is this yet another attempt to educate that rap/hip hop isn't music? I hear extra rhythm, team spirit, and melody in maximum hip hop than I do from Marilyn Manson, garbage, and hollow screaming into the microphone. music...(such as poetry, and beauty) is contained in the interest of the beholder...i actually hate even as human beings pull a dictionary out to objective to apply an get mutually of what a be conscious truly ability....that's something that society deems as perfect. who's to say what a be conscious truly ability besides? were any human beings round even as words were first made up? till that's something that someone from our era coined...i imagine no longer...Thumb me down all u pick to... To me Hip hop is not purely music...it really is a flow...it really is a life-style...that's captivating.... music should not be defined by Merriam Webster...it really is going to be defined by inspite of the actuality that is in ur heart.... EDIT...LMFAOOOOOO @ E ROC...HELL YEAH!!! THUMBS UP 4 U...

Man, Dixie Normous is a f*ckin' moron.
Anyway, to answer the question.
KRS-ONE- who has devoted his life to hip-hop
Rakim- The God MC(he is every single one of your favorite rapper's favorite rapper)
2pac- at his best, was everything right with hip-hop. At his worst, everything wrong with hip-hop
Ice Cube- the best political/gangsta rapper ever
Run-DMC- without them, hip-hop would've become disco by now.
