Answers:
I know u are prob thinking of KRS!.!.!. and i gotta agree, some what
i think KRS was good lyrically back in the day, but now he is not relevant anymore so now hes more known for his hip hop activisum than being a rapper!.!.!. he also contibuted the introduction of west indian slang into hip hop, which no one else really was doing at that time
>>i still support him, i dont think hes that bad now either and i believe in what he stands for,not only hip hop related but his community work as well, no matter what hes one of my favorite rappersWww@Enter-QA@Com

"Dont possess the skill" is being ignored by most of the posts - jay-z, wayne, biggie, all recognized for their talents - so was LL in his time!.
I'd say someone like queen latifah - who was the first female rapper to go platinum!.
Maybe Ren from NWA - he never did much else, but he's at least known for being in a lengedary group
Master P - wasn' the greatest rapper but started the southern rap with no-limit, really changed things imo (not for the better)!.
Maybe Beastie Boys - never thought they were that talented as rappers but their style and orginality made them stand out and obtain high status in hip-hop!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
