Your favorite rappers/groups over your life...

What up yall.
I'm curious, I wanna see a list rappers or rap groups that were your favorite or very influencial at one time in your life.
Not like your normal favorite or top 10 rapper list like: Tupac, Biggie, Jay Z etc. but rappers that influenced you as a rapper or a producer or just a person in general during a period in your life.

Ok, I'm going first:

Two Live Crew - (Sorry to say, got me into rap)
Ice T - (got me loving gangsta rap)
Public Enemy - (made me realize that rap can be more than just rap)
Paris - (The bay area teacher plus I'm in Humboldt, we loved the bay)
JT The Bigga Figga - (Learned about making beats from his early production.)
Spice 1 - (Taught me to spit fast raps when I first started rapping)
Outkast - (My favorite from '96-'99, have been fading ever since)
Eminem - (His 1st album made me realize that you can rap about anything)
Twista - (Took the fast rappin' to another level, I learned so much from his raps)
Jay Z - (Best rapper alive)

If you have some time, list yours below:
Peace.
