He was baiting, but to be fair I would say the Beastie Boys deserve to be part of the conversation.

Isaiah Jackson
MBDTF is somewhat influential but everything else he has done is derivative of artists who came before him.
>his style of soul sampling was unique!!!
De La Soul was doing it in the 80s.
>he paved the way for artists to be more happy and conscious!!!
countless artists did this before him, most prominently ATCQ. conscious hip-hop was already a thing in the 80s and 90s.
>808s was so influential!!!
this is true to an extent but Kid Cudi was doing pretty similar music first.
anyways, serious answers to OP's question:
>80s
Eric B. & Rakim, Public Enemy, De La Soul, NWA
>90s
A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan
>2000s
the 2000s were kind of a disaster for hip-hop so it's hard to say who was influential besides Soulja Boy or Lil Wayne I guess. yes I know there were GOAT artists like MF DOOM but they were never really popular enough to be as influential as the other artists I am mentioning.
>2010s
Lil B, Waka Flocka Flame, Young Thug I guess, for better or worse.
