MACK 10 ::
In 1995 Mack 10 emerged from the West Coast, amid the much publicized tension between the East and West rap scenes. Ice Cube collaborated with Mack 10 on his first hit single, "Foe Life," and soon thereafter they formed Westside Connection with WC and released Bow Down.
In addition to the Westside projects, Mack 10 has released solid solo records, including Based On A True Story, Recipe, and The Paper Route.

A Rapper/Writer from Dallas Texas. Was If not the first protégé of super star Dr. Dre. DOC released his first album "No One Can Do It Better' in 1989. It was a huge success. Unfortunately in 1990 DOC was involved in a fatal car accident which nearly killed him, he survived but his voice didn't. His layrynx was damaged, after hours of reconstructive surgery he didn't have his "golden voice". He was left with a different, raspier voice. DOC left the radar, troubled and into drugs. In 96 he released his second album "Helter Skelter" despite his strange new voice it was good album. The album wasn't a big hit. It recieved mixted reviews. DOC continued to live on, and ghostwrote for Dr. Dre on his classic album "The Chronic 2001." Even though DOC lost his voice, he is still considered to be one of the best rappers ever and "No One Can Do It Better" one of the best albums in rap history.
D.O.C. is responsible for ghost writing hits for the likes of NWA and Dr. Dre and some other talents.
DOC you still the shit man, no matter what happened to your voice.

A specific era in hiphop history. There have been many discussions about the difference between the "Old School" and the New School". One accepted view was put to words in alt.rap by Charles L. Isbell:
All of time can be divided pretty easily this way:
- Everything before "Run DMC" (Run DMC 1984)
- Everything before "It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back" (Public Enemy 1988)
It gets harder after that, but maybe you'd have to label parallel movements with stuff like:
+ Everything before "Straight Outta Compton" (NWA 1988) and "Amerikkka's Most Wanted" (Ice Cube 1990) for the West Coast Gangsta Movement
+ Everything before "3 Feet High And Rising" (De La Soul 1989) and "Low End Theory" (A Tribe Called Quest 1991) for the Jazz/Bohemian Movement
Others seem to think we're about to enter the Everything before "93 'Til Infinity" (Souls of Mischief 1993) era for the Ascendency of Hieroglyphics, but I'll reserve judgement on that.
There are also several dark moments: MC Hammer ushered in the HipPop Era and Vanilla "No I really used to be rich; May I take your order?" Ice ushered in something unspeakable (Snow, if nothing else).
Hmmmmm, here's a way to pass the time: what are the key moments/movements and what albums/artists best represent them? How have they influenced the direction of rap? Making no value judgements, I'd have to say that the four most influential hiphop moments/movements are the ones I listed above and for obvious reasons.
