That was a door opening performance if it didn't go well the no rapper stance would have continued. In contrast to Kanye performance at Glastonbury it was viewed as the moment it should have been
One thing I do know is it’s not Jay Z

Jay-z headlined Glastonbury in 2008. Since then, in the 15 years since…a grand total of TWO other rappers have headlined.He was the first rapper to headline Glastonbury the biggest filed festival in the world then that opened the door to Beyonce Kanye West Stormzy Kendrick Lamar and others
Yep, that was SUPER DUPER influential. Lol. Gimme a fucking break. Nigga tried to throw BEYONCÉ in there.

I remember someone on here tried to tell me 21 savage could do major arena yours in Europe. Lmao
But in terms of the full spectrum of being an influential artists, as much as Im not really a Kanye fan past his first two albums and street mixtapes... Ive got to give it to Kanye...
He bought in a new style and specific niche into hip hop during a time when gangsta rap was strong... Yes there was already Common, Talib, Mos, The Roots etc around but his college style and lyrics were different and transcended the hip hop genre and went global... He wasnt just conscious rapper, he still flossed and bragged about balling too 'were all self conscious Im just the first to admit it'...
Not only that he was a GOAT producer who ushered in his own specific sound...
Then he's gone on and made 100's of millions in the fashion industry...
So his bought in a specific style of hip hop, production and fashion... Kanye really did change the game...

I got Kanye a close second behind Wayne. I respect it.
Regarding Jay, his relationship with Beyonce defo upped his star value and took him to the next level... It made them a power couple...
Beyonce is arguably the biggest popstar in the world, off the strength of that Jay defo picked up alot of worldwide mainstream media news he wouldnt have previously got...

Thats not what influential is in this case, otherwise we can say Jaz O is the most influential artists as he put Jay on...
It doesnt matter who bought who into the game, its once theyre in the game, who influenced the world the most... Its Kanye by far...
Grandmas in Iceland to remote villages in Tibet know who Kanye is and people who dont even listen to hip hop are probably inadvertently wearing his clothes if theyre not listening to his music...
Not only is Kanye in fashion but he influences fashion trends too...

Did you interpret the question as 'Who on this list has been the most influential on others on the list?'.
Also, I have no idea if Jay-Z has had great influence on those people.
