Outkast is only hip-hop when they're not doing that "other stuff" like Hey-Ya and what not.

These people being quoted can have love for the beastie boys as
"pioneers"(I would not use this word)

But if they are "pioneers" name me a rapper that patterned their style after the beastie boys'
What MC did their style influence?
If they're so important to hip-hop
