I wouldn't call Com a legend but he's left his mark & he'll always been mentioned.

Yes Common is a legend, he might not have the big name like other legends have but he's work speaks for itself. He has left a good mark on the hip hopgame.

NH stay proclaiming Fat Joe as a legend... imo for you to be a legend you have to have contributed something legendary that sticks with people... only thinglegendary associated wih Fat Joe is him being a member of D.I.T.C other than that Joe is just lucky to have a successful career.
Now in terms of Common he's indeed a legend, from legendary battles with Cube & W.C., classics albums, one of the most gifted lyricists and hislongevity is remarkable.. remember he dropped his first album before, Nas, Big, Jay and etc.... dude came in the game during the Pete Rock, ATCQ, EPMD era.Common is one of the first rappers that come to mind when you think of conscious hip-hop.

to quote 50 cent and fat joe....its not easy to have hit records, people wanna always write that off but at da end of da day having hit records isn't easyto do....
fat joe has classic albums (jealous one envy, don cartegena) and as trivia...he HELPED common in his career early on..remember fat joe and common were bothlabelmates over at relativity and its noted that fat joe was one of da first dudes putting cats on to common and help him get on when he moved to NYC.
i bet if you ask common himself he'd say fat joe is a legend.

^aren't you a big dipset fan?
you talk about Joe like he makes AMAZING timeless music
there's a different between timless music and music of the times
joe tends to just make music of the times.
common on the other hand, makes timeless cuts
you wanna tell me make it rain is more of a classic than I used to love H.E.R.
or I won't tell is more classic than The Light
honestly man, you come off quite clownish/herbish most of the time with your perception of hip hop.

Fat Joe..a legend? Come on. He's left his mark in the game, but no every player gets their jersey retired. Fat Joe is like the Kevin Willis of rappers.He's been around so long you don't question why he's still in the league, but it's not like he's productive.
Common is a classic. Him and Moon basically put the Chi on the map. He's battled Ice Cube, he has grammys and dude made THE hiphop love song (I Used ToLove H.E.R).
Mobb Deep are bonafied legends. As riled up as P seems today, there is no denying that these guys personify everything NY was in its prime.
LL - Legend and its not even debatable.
LMAO @ the fat joe hip hop honours comment.

There's no question Comm is a hip-hop legend, the body of work speaks for itself. Dude, I like Fat Joe but homey certainly isn't at legend status, btwwho gave you a hard time about LL? I mean who can even debate his status??
LOL to the dude who said Kweli and Common are in the same boat, I hope you were joking. Common is waaay ahead of Talib at this point in their careers andI'm a big Kweli fan...
