Alafu soma hii. http://www.popmatters.com/feature/69528-these-are-the-breaks-the-motown-sounds-influence-on-hip-hop-sampling/

Yes motown itself did not produce hip hop even though the question states which label had the biggest impact (nothing about production there) but works emanating from its studios are used as a benchmark for hip hop production, to the point where other artistes have to pay royalties to use samples from motown
