Mary


Mariah outside of it though. But as Far as R&B goes, Mary is like top 2. Probably only Aretha had the bigger impact

[Lazarus]

Both, tbh.

The singer is also credited for introducing R&B and hip hop into mainstream pop culture, and for popularizing rap as a featuring act through her post-1995 songs. Sasha Frere-Jones, editor of The New Yorker commented, "It became standard for R&B/hip-hop stars like Missy Elliott and Beyoncé, to combine melodies with rapped verses. And young white pop stars—including Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, and 'N Sync—have spent much of the past ten years making pop music that is unmistakably R&B." Moreover Jones concludes that "[Carey's] idea of pairing a female songbird with the leading male MCs of hip-hop changed R&B and, eventually, all of pop. Although now anyone is free to use this idea, the success of The Emancipation of Mimi suggests that it still belongs to Carey."[69]

Both, tbh.

!!!!

Both kinda defined hip-hop R&B.  Mary is Queen, but Mariah was integral herself with her R&B ballads and remixes.  She popularized the staccato rap-singing style that Beyonce cultivated years later.
