Eric B. & Rakim * Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five * Public Enemy * Sugarhill Gang Ice-T * N.W.A.
Ice Cube * Dr. Dre * Cypress Hill * A Tribe Called Quest * Busta Rhymes * KRS-One * Xzibit * Naughty By Nature
Queen Latifah * 2pac * The Notorious B.I.G. * Noreaga * Master P * De La Soul * R. Kelly * EPMD * Redman
Snoop Doggy Dogg (of 1993/4, prior to the release of "Tha Doggfather", and as opposed to "Snoop Dogg", as he is known today)
Fugees (including Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill as independent solo artists) * OutKast * Tha Dogg Pound * Jay-Z
The Wu-Tang Clan (including individual members as independent solo artists) * Gravediggaz * Tha Alkaholiks
