7 DIAMOND D: ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITE, not just cause we crew up in the same hood, and frequented the same jams. But because he is the epitome of the BRONX SOUND. More than anyone on this list. He kept it BX, and taught tradition with every beat, and influenced tooo many greats.

RZA: first knew of him with "we love you Rakeem", after that saw him with WU, and heard he was making beats with the Ensoniq work station (same as me =D, he took raw Strong Island, and sounds that made a stick up kid, wanna rob an armory. Nuff said.

PETE ROCK: SOULFUL! break beats with flow. HAD A RICAN GOING in the 90's. if you can keep BBOYS rocking in the 90's, you had them BREAKS in your construct. And again, Hip Hop was built on Beats, Breaks
