Eminem too. Whether he wants to admit it or not, his whole style is heavily influenced by Biggie.
Jay Z, of course, even though he was in a sense almost a peer of Big's (or so he likes to think...).
Freddie Gibbs. Listen to "Deep" from
Pińata and tell me that kind of tell-tale hood rap narrative wasn't inspired by Big.
Joey Bada$$ for sure.
ScHoolboy Q to an extent.
There's no question about it, big is among the greatest and most influential emcees of all time.
