All those were mid 90s rappers. There's ridiculous amounts of others that weren't "mainstream" it's hard not to mention (kurtis blow, spice 1, grandmaster flash, dr. Octagon/kool Keith, big etc etc etc)
2pac was prob the first extremely successful mainstream rapper that appealed to white suburban kids which is why he made it big. IMO
OF course QD will disagree with all this
