They popularized that violent nigga rapI don't think so.
They have some songs I like but a lot of their music sounds the same.
They have a niche market; Thug/Gangsta rap. Not saying that's a bad thing but they're not that groundbreaking imo.
They have a some classic songs though; Shook Ones, Hell On Earth, Apostle's Warning, Quiet Storm Original/Remix

NO one on the west gets the credit. In the radio stations werent playing that so you have to give the Mobb credit for at least getting violent music airplay (barely)Maybe on the East Coast, but niggas in Cali were doing violent nigga rap in the 80s.
