Comparable to being the Beatles of hip hop. They are (including a few others) the beginnings of the fastest growing genre next to alternative rock today.

THE EMPRESS OF JAPANESE POP MUSIC!!! Info: Ayumi Hamasaki is a famous Japanese singer-songwriter and former actress. Also called Ayu by her fans, Hamasaki has been dubbed as the "J-Pop Empress" by mass media due to her popularity and widespread influence in Japan. Born and raised in Fukuoka, she moved to Tokyo at fourteen to pursue a career in entertainment. In 1998, under the tutelage of Avex CEO Max Matsuura, she released a string of modestly selling singles that concluded with her 1999 debut album A Song for ××. The album debuted atop the Oricon charts and stayed there for four weeks, establishing her popularity in Japan. Because of her constantly changing image and tight control over her artistry, Hamasaki's popularity extends across Asia; music and fashion trends she has started have spread to countries such as China, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, France, Germany, Canada and the United States. She has appeared in or lent her songs to many advertisements and television commercials numbering over 650. Though she originally supported the exploitation of her popularity for commercial purposes, she later reconsidered and eventually opposed her status as an Avex "product". Since her 1998 debut Hamasaki has sold over 75 million records across Asia, with over 50 million of those sales in Japan alone, ranking her among the best-selling singers in the continent as well as her respective country. As a female singer, Hamasaki holds several domestic records for her singles, such as the most number-one hits, the highest sales, and the most million-sellers. From 1999 to 2009, Hamasaki had at least one single each year top the charts. Hamasaki is the first female singer to have eight studio albums since her debut to top the Oricon and the first artist to have an album debut at number-one for 11 consecutive years.

Exceptional lyricist, and musician brings hip hop to its blues, soul, poetry and rock and roll roots.

Great Composer of over 2000 songs and innovator of musical epistemology, Rabindranath Tagore is one of the most profound and original great composers in world history. Rabindranath Tagore is tragically neglected in the west as his compositions have not been adequately translated from Swaralipi notation into Western stave notation and because the song lyrics have not been adequately translated from the original Bengali into English. J.S. Bach has a mastery of counterpoint,Beethoven of deep emotion, Mozart of grace, Vivaldi of beauty; but Rabindranath Tagore's profound songs perhaps more than the compositions of any other composer give peace.

Best Black Rapper EVER!!!
