Do you mean something like when Ice T started Body Count and amalgamated 2 extreme but massively Oxymoronic music genres to create a whole new genre, which would be latre "pioneered" by the likes of "Rage against the Machine", "Linkin Park" and "Limp Bizkit".
Or do you mean like Dr Dre formerly of NWA who established Death Row records and The Firm (including Nas) and has been central to introducing Hip Hop (not even mentioning the G-funk era of the 90's with Snoop, Warren G et al) to the masses and making it the major force it was at the end of the 90's/early 2000's?
Nas was always up there, sure, but he was never a pioneer, just a fantastic lyricist imo  |

That article says how influential he is. Its fine that its your opinion but you need to back it up. Because your dates are a few years after Nas was doing his thing.
