    I must have hit the wrong button. NO

    Dope MC, very intelligent and more importantly the embodiment of a Hip Hop artist. Not enough star power and charisma to be a legend though.

    Wouldn't even call him a NYC legend.

    Because NY got too much juice lol

    Had kweli been from Ohio he would be top 5 ever Midwest lol

    I mean if Ohio or even the midwest for that matter got behind him like that, maybe. I think he only appeals to a small amount of ppl. I'd call him a poor man's Common without the crispy flow.

    I'm staying impartial but lemme ask

    Throughout hiphop's entire history you would consider trick daddy more of a legend and having higher status than talib kweli? (I have to keep using trick because he's the only other person I can reference right now)

    Where I'm from Talib gets more props than Trick Daddy, but I'm on the East Coast.

    Not a legend, but he's a MC I've always rocked to and respect. The Blackstar album is the joint.

    When that album came out White hipsters said it was better than Thriller and Illmatic combined.
