One of the most important rappers to come out of hip-hop's golden age era of the '80s is no doubt Lawrence Krisna Parker, better known as KRS-One. KRS-One and his Wyandanch peer Rakim Allah basically invented modern MCing.
Lyrically speaking, no other rapper has contributed so much knowledge to the culture; musically, every song hits you in the head like a hammer. At a time when hip-hop has begun expanding into new genres (new-jack swing, g-funk, gangsta rap, R&B hip-hop, etc.), Kris Parker brings all rappers back down to earth with KRS-ONE, reminding them what hip-hop is really about.
