You don't have to call him a legend but he's one of the GOATs off his catalog easily. And yall can stop acting like Blackstar and Reflection Eternal is all he has and relisten to these albums and then his other 10 albums
He's one of the best to ever do it. Now for this accusation that he gets outshined on tracks idk, I gotta do some listening. I'll be back in this thread tomorrow with my cape fastened. -
Inspectah deck shined on all his collabos on WU albums but probably has the worst catalog out the group, I can post plenty songs where Nas got outshined, doesn't mean Deck is the best out the group or Nas wasn't the better artist, this thread didn't have to be made

He has grown as a lyricist.... because if you followed him from the start, he came in shaky ..... I thought he had lyrics from day one but just couldn't catch up to the beat to save his life. Few albums later and dude is rocking ........I haven't even thought about it but he might make it into my top 25

I can't listen to kweli. Dude is hella boring

Legend?!?

see it's like this : not all the players in the basketball Hall Of Fame are legends,,,
Talib is in the hip hop hall of fame but not a LEGEND
Nas
Jay
Rakim
Big Daddy Kane
Big Pun
Biggie
Tupac
Ice Cube
Snoop....
this is the kinds of names that resonate withe the word LEGEND Talib is with guys like Pharoe Monche ,Cassidy, Beanie sigel ,Lupe ...those are not Legends basically anyone you could say are UNDERRATED...cant be LEGENDS ! -
One of the most underrated albums of the 2000's IMO. If u don't know, get familiar! -
Agreed Kweli is the ? ..
but you know everyone loves a gimmick i appreciate the down to the nitty gritty nothin but the lyrics definitely on of my faces -
Talib Kweli >>> J.Cole

Came into say this
Mos got one of hip hop's GOAT verses on Thieves in the Night -
To be fair Mos Def is better than almost anyone he's on a track with. And Kweli wasn't getting blown outta the water, he always kept up and held his own on a high level just like Big Boi always kept up with 3 stacks
-
Lol I'm not a stan of anyone but I would fall under the category of big fan of both of these two.
Yes Kweli> Cole
Kweli has been consistently dropping good music for 15 years and Cole doesn't have an album as good as Kweli's top 3 or 4 albums -
Never listened to him post

I always felt that Talib would consistently get beat on his own tracks when someone was featuring. It's not that his bars are wack, its just that vocally someone with more charisma/orthodox flow will always get him. Even someone who isn't a "lyricist". Case in point:

he got bars but zero charisma thats why, he is boring so the feature is automaticaly like some fresh air on the song lol
I ALWAYS stop and look at the chick in your sig when I see a post from you. -
