    i think the geto boys were more influential in the early 90s and the dungeon acts took over after that

    How so? As big as he is/was he didn't really influence that much aside from MGK/hopsin/slaughterhouse type rappers that only a small sector of inbred rap fans listen to.

    Strictly mainstream on an international level. Sure there will be certain acts that influenced certain regions or sounds more than these guys. But these guys have the broadest reach and biggest influence

    You're def right about the geto boys/dungeon fam but I don't think it's unfair to throw UGK in there as well

    Also nice to see mac dre on there -- bay area rap was super popular at my middle/high school in the 2000s so I grew up listening to a lot of it. I'd throw e-40 in there too.
