    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)

    Overall, yes. Numbers dont lie.

    numbers dont mean ?


    Talib can rap circles around Trick

    That ? can't even stay on beat lol

    and you cant even stay on topic in most threads whats your point bruh?

    You ? are crazy.

    I can tell a lot of you guys weren't around back when rawkus were having their movement, and how refreshing it was to have emcees like kweli and ilk around doing concious hip hop.

    2 stone cold classics in Blackstar & Train Of Thought (anyone know what hi-tek is upto nowadays?), a personal classic in Eardrum for me, and plenty of good albums and mixtapes elsewhere.

    ? . Can't vote Trick Daddy as a legend and Talib isn't.

    lol I would say No Talib isn't. I don't think he has a individual classic album. I do believe Mos Def is a legend though.

    They both share a group classic w/ Blackstar and both of their first solos are classics imo but after that...

    Talibs discography>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mos

    Nothing TK has released is better than Black on Both Sides or The Ecstatic. Not to mention Mos Def is more polished and a better artist. TK sounds like he be reading off a notepad in the both forcing 100000 words in his bar. That ? got that Papoose syndrome of not sounding fluid when he raps.

    no

    another case of dope rapper but not a legend

    that being said you know all the southern hip hop heads are gonna vote no out of spite


    once again, ?


    don't speak for "all the southern hip hop heads"


    but I forgive you, for you know not what you speak lol

    Y'all call everything a ? classic nowadays. What next. The Rawkus Sounbombing album is a classic too.

    Quality is just as good as Black on Both Sides.

    The Ecstatic? Really? Train of Thought, Eardrum, Beautiful Struggle, pick one, any one they all ? on the Ecstatic and the rest of Mos' catalog

    Numbers dont mean ? as far as if u can rap good.

    But numbers do prove you have a fan base.

    I would think a "legend" should at least have a fan base

    For your peak 1st week sales to be 21k is pretty unimpressive. And this was 2000 when albums were selling.

    No it doesn't. Buying music isn't the only way to financially support an artist.
