Dec 6, 2020·edited·4 repliesThey’re just listing iconic artists, influential would mean they change the sound of music. In terms of how albums are approached and technology is used to affect the sonics of music, these guys have the biggest footprints in my mind. No particular order
1. Beatles - superstars truly crafting albums/phases. Huge effect on all the greats from mj to Bowie to kanye
2. King Tubby - Dub has such a huge influence with how much it utilized bass-boosting and delay as the main textures. All modern music should thank the king
3. Stevie Wonder - just chords good god. Prince, Pharrell, tyler, frank, all owe a lot to the man
4. Afrika Bambata - one of several artists to popularize sampling in beats, but also brought up early greats like tribe, jungle bros, etc.
5. Phil Collins - created the 80s sound w the gated reverb snare right at the top of the decade. Fr all 80s and early 90s used this exact drum sound.
6. Biggie - changed how rappers flowed, but I’m willing to give this to someone else if anyone has an idea. edit: some other people recommended rakim for this one
7. Tpain - made autotune what it is honestly. Direct line from tpain to kanye to drake to every single artist out rn.

Eminem isn’t top 30 most influential but let’s not act like he isn’t influential at all
He influenced your fav
Dec 6, 2020·edited9 times outta 10 “influential” is used interchangeably for status, so I don’t put any stock in him saying this is literally the most influential list
But if I am to entertain this list - hell no these aren’t the top five most influential lmao (for one James Brown should be there, and Janet and Mariah have more clear influence on female artists than Madonna, not to mention Em is nowhere near being the most influential rapper of all time)

Nah this is cap. Eminem inspired Kendrick, Cole, Nicki, Drake, Tyler, Earl, etc. honestly you can probably add like 10 more prominent names to that list.
I don’t even like em anymore but he’s def one of the most influential rappers of all time
