If not then who?

Not as far fetched but I think it's Rakim.

This is a really interesting question that probably requires more thought than I'm willing to give it right now. But, yeah...that's not unreasonable. He may be right.
What does he mean by important?

No arguments here
He has a strong case.
Sure I won’t disagree
Thanks LL you the man

Dammit.
He’s right.
At one point I would’ve laughed and said what about Rev Run, but in light of recent behaviors

I was thinking Ryn DMC too but LL took the genre further than they did

Damn…
Imagine what hip hop would be like today if L would have sued Kool Moe Dee for running over his Kangol, making a verse out the letter L and storming the stage at a concert to squat down and then rap it in his face…?

LL has been disregarded by alot of folks because some think his music is mainly for women but they forget he has made classic hip hop music.....he definitely has a good case but I think I put rakim ahead of him tho

It's not a wild claim but the "most important" rapper of all-time is Will Smith hands down. He took it mainstream in ways no other had. And opened the tv/movie/pop culture avenues in ways no one else did.
