And de la pretty much invented modern sampling and (ugh... skits), while NWA kicked off gangsta rap. HOV is an industry unto himself. The most successful of all these ninjas, but his influence is definitely waning, and he's fading away instead of burning out.

Edit: whoops... Fact check - in 2004 Tupac Shakur was listed as the biggest selling hip-hop artist of all time in the Guiness Book of World Records.

So, I take that back about Jay. He's had more years of success, and his success has been spread out over more territory, but in strictly hip-hop and music terms, he's no Pac.
