Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

its just a a stupid argument. Thats like saying the NBA has no current future hall of famers. Its cats with no rings right now ballin thats gonna be in the hall... they are legends still. Same with rap.
Whoa.

This that false equivalency. Legend =/= hall of famer.

Just cuz you in the hall don't mean you a legend.

Cole a legend cuz he aint fumble a cosign? Y'all going extra hard to make zero sense.

How many classic albums Kendrick got?
 
I think with Cole and Drake

They're so popular and they mean so much, people go back and assign classic to an album.

If anything with Cole and Drake you could do it to their mixtapes. But their studio albums, nah. Nobody was saying classic until they realized they didn't have any classics and it's like they had to justify them being on the top tier. Especially considering Kendrick did put out a classic album.

You could say The Warm Up or So Far Gone
 
Good Kid Maad City is a classic.

TPAB is close but there’s a few songs I didn’t need but it’s a great album, 4.5/5
 
What’s funny about the legend talk, is that sometimes it might be a combination of how the artist lifestyle was, mystery about them (alot of older artists had because it wasn’t any social media back then), hometown love, and regional support. Sometimes it’s not based off of album sales alone. You can’t tell people in NY Big L or S. Bundles or Max B arent legends , you can’t tell Houston people that pimp c, slim thug, or fat pat arent legends, you can’t tell people in the Bay that e-40 or Mac Dre aren’t legends, or people in Kansas that Tech 9 isn’t a legend, or people in Memphis that L.Infamous or Skinny Pimp arent legends.

I feel like saying the word legend isn’t being spoke about in the right definition up in here like it should. You have to have like a folklore Essenes about you in some form, not just be a successful artist because your talented at spitting. Drake, and Kendrick, and Cole are musical legends, so call them that. Being called a legend by itself is a totally different ball game in my opinion. It takes having a life story, ups and downs, back to being up again, obstacles, mysterious crazy true stories that These individuals went through.

Watching someone like Drake that was on a tv as a teen, then becomes a star at a young age without really going through anything like pac or big, is not really a legend in my opinion, he’s a musical legend though, no denying the talent. But I don’t think people would clammer to the movie theater to see his life story like it was something we needed to do no matter what. That’s the difference between being a real life bonified legends versus just being a musical/rap legend. Your life story has to have something crazy behind it in my opinion.
 
Seem like dude having too much fun being goofy to try and put a heater together. Dude got something and is flooding the place but ain't played not a one of his **** twice.

I noticed that **** a lot with Drake. Every time people ask if he has a classic it's

"ummmmmm Take Care is his best so that's his classic"

Nah. Don't work like that. People don't gotta think about whats Kendrick's classic album.
 
Pimp A Butterfly is definitely up for being a classic. GKMC and Section 80 are the 2 that most people would agree on being classics.
 
In All honesty Kendrick has 3 projects up for Classic (TPAB not being one)

Section 80
GKMC
DAMN
id say more great than classic
maybe ur personal classic
but if there was a top list
like top 30 all time
none would be on the list
