You ever heard of Kool Moe Dee?
First of all, Melle Mel >>> Kool Moe Dee
Second of all, its not like there can only be one legend from that era. Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Caz, Spoonie G, Kurtis Blow and Chief Rocker Busy Bee are all legends. They all brought something different to the game and are all first round hall of famers.
Pfft. Does Melle Mel even have one decent full length album? Kool Moe Dee >>>>>> -

BTNH - they created mumble mouth and sing song ? ? music
Big L- never got the hype he was aight ? reminded me of Mouse from the Jamie Fox show RIP tho
3 6 Mafia - They're the Bizarro Wu-Tanf Clan. All of them are wack
3-6 influenced the game more than Wu-Tang OG.
How?
All that crunk, trap, and drill ? you hear now.... 3-6 did it on mystic stylez in the early 90s before the terms was even coined. Who is the most popular group runnin right now? Migos right? Right.....RIP Lord infamous.
And the Wu made it so that you can sign as a group on one label and then sign solo deals on another label, that was unheard of for hip hop artists at the time.
What does that have to do with gauging whether an act is trash or not, bruh?

Lmao old thread bro.
And I was deadass when I made it.
Ice-T is ? cheeks and has always been -
3-6 been ? butt cheeks though

HONESTLY...
ALL OF THEM GET A PASS TO A CERTAIN EXTENT...
THEY'RE NOT VIEWED AS "COMPETITIVE" ARTISTS...
MOST ARE HAPPY TO STILL GET AN ALBUM OR EVEN A VERSE FROM AN ARTIST W/ A STORIED PAST... -
Whats wrong with giving a rapper/singer/musician a pass if he made legendary music?
Bruce Springsteen still sells out stadiums and he hasn't had a hit in years. -

I don't have a problem with it. I just call a ? a ? . ? been making garbage for 20 years I can't take that from them -
Pac - the father to the fatherless
Mac Dre - regional wack ? bars were trash
BTNH - they created mumble mouth and sing song ? ? music

CS everything but Bone and 3 6 -
Lmao riight
Tim Dog and Ice-T never been nice nice on the mic. But hip hop still respects them because they are veterans.

Guru
Premo is right there as my favorite producer ever, but Guru does nothing for me as a mc. Monotonous, boring, and average lyrically imo. CL Smooth is nicer and I don't hear people calling him a legend. -

And where is they money at? Now… they got signed as a group because it was cheaper till they realized that wasn't going to work so they sought out to get individual signings your talking like the labels though of the idea… well it was unheard of artist selling they own ? an getin full profit well yea tha south did that play boy -

? act like this old cats haven't lost a step in rap and can out rap or wash all this new cats out which isn't the case
The games changed and rappers have gotten better
Hell Larry bird scored 647 3pointers his entire 13yr career
Curry done scored 687 3pointers since 2013 season
? changes so to sit here and say the Wu-Tang and KRS-One can out rap ? like Cole, Kendrick, Big Sean even Drake is hilarious
Old cats just live off nostalgic times and don't wanna pass the torch or even admit Jay and Nas ain't as good as they use to be and might can't out rap this young ? no more
Why couldnt method man out rap drake or kendric lamar
Im not saying he couldn't he was just a example what I'm sayin is ? act like the best rappers from the past could all survive in the rap game today.
Some of this rappers y'all praise ain't touched a mic in a decade but y'all still act like they could out rap whoever whenever ? ridiculous
I.E. KRS-1 being dumb, bitter and fame hungry enough to get into a worthless battle with Nelly. First of all a true legend wouldnt waste time battling a clown like Nelly. Rakim would never trade words with Souljah Boy.
KRS put himself in a lose lose situation by being an old ass man who hadnt had a hit in a generation and battling a crossover pop rapper on his turf. Nobody who faithfully watched 106 and Park back in 2002 had a clue who KRS-1 was and there was no way in hell he was going to convince them to ride with him. The battlefield had changed from underground tapes to corporate mass media and Kris was totally oblivious. Anything less than a scortched earth, career ending, 50 vs Ja Rule like demolition would be seen as a loss and even if he somehow won nobody would care b/c he was supposed to. The fact that Kris called for a boycott of Nellyville and it ended up going 6x platinum made it even worse. -

Lil ? opinion -
Hov and Bone gets a pass and they're wack? SMH only on the IC
The guys I named in the op are legit snooze fest and no one has them in their top ten or has ever asked them to spit something.
No one has ever been hype to hear them on a feature, if anything we fast forward KRS and Ice-T verses. -
