You need some Parliament/Funkadelic on that list. Without those records (and the samples lifted from them), rap never explodes into popular culture in the late 80s/early 90s.

Someone on Spotify rapped all of “Wocket in My Pocket,” and it hasn’t been taken down after 724,000 streams

What about the song on Spotify “Wocket in My Pocket,” that just raps the entirety of that Dr. Seuss book and has over 724,000 streams?

Ali Farka Touré and Miriam Makeba are others that have had a wide influence. In some ways, via other American musicians maybe more than general 'house hold name' status. I thought at first, this is an African American list, but you have Bob Marley so I'd add them.

The ghost of Lead Belly is looking at you threateningly.
The Ronettes are dancing in the background.
Billie Holiday is making your grandparents cry.

Interested in any reggae recommendations? It plays a pretty huge part in music history.

Here's a curve ball for you: "Death"
About 10 years ago a documentary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Band_Called_Death
detailed how 3 black brothers in Detroit helped pioneer punk rock in the 1970s. Their music was thought lost forever until one of the member's kids found it.... yada yada... it became a documentary and the band called Death was credited with having a huge roll in punk music years before punk music existed.
So you got Black blues > rock n roll (Led Zeppelin, Stones, Beatles)
Then you got band called Death > punk rock.
Pretty big deal.
