Ad-Rock from beastie boys is responsible for too many things to list. But a few things:
He started the backwards baseball hat trend in the 80's
Invented the word "sampling" as it applies to music. And the term was first used legally in a lawsuit against The Beastie Boys in the late 80's. Sugar Hill gang was the first group to be involved with a sampling lawsuit. But it wasn't called sampling at that time
He discovered LL Cool J, amongst many others. He was responsible for listening to all the demo tapes that got turned in to Def Jam back in the day. He listened to LL's tape, was impressed, told Russell to sign him. Russell did, and took credit for discovering him. Ad-rock actually made the beat for LL's first record "I need a beat." Using the first drum machine he ever bought. Again, Jazzy Jay and Rick Rubin of Def Jam took credit for producing this.
Could do a dissertation on the little known facts about the band, but these are the random ones I can remember off top of dome. There was another one about a famous rap album that came out in the 90's. I can't remember it, but it was a lengendary classic from some artist. Anyways, dude didn't have all the equipment so he crashed at Adams crib and borrowed some of his gear to make the beats and the rest was history. Wish I could remember who it was
