Question: How much of an influence did latino's/hispanics have on hip hop culture?

Was it big? Was it small? Did they actually have an influence on hip hop culture?

Wellllll... On a personal level, plenty! And I guess you could consider some music often associated with Hispanics to be Hip Hop, however other than a few HUGE names, I can't think of very much. I.e. Big Pun, Redman (I'm pretty sure he's mixed), Cypress Hill, etc. I'm not saying that they haven't, I just can't think of too many Hispanics that really blew up in the Hip Hop world. I've got my personal influences though... I'm a big fan of The Psycho Realm. I think about them when I write sometimes.
