Kanye West, 2000
Before today's age, Kanye West was a revolutionary that transformed the sound and vision of hip hop. With his hit albums "The College Dropout" and "Graduation," Kanye was able to commodify hip hop for wider audiences to be consumed on a multi-cultural scale. He also was one of the most notable figures of the 2000s in general, and he's still trying to hang onto his fame today.
