Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Magic33]

5 ASG's is an eye popping stat. There has to be a reason why he didnt make it over the likes of Kenny Anderson or mookie baylock. Injury perhaps? Dunno, cant recall.

Nah, he was just pretty good like Mitch Richmond

At no point in time was Reggie one of the 20 best players in the league, even though shooting guard was one of the weakest positions.

They could have done it like they do today with front court, by just having it backcourt and had two ones.

That's why it's funny to me, how people will act like it's questionable TMac is a hall of famer, career cut short by injuries and all is almost two times better than Reggie's. He just doesn't have 18 points in 30 seconds against the Knicks.

Like I said previously, seem like the dissenters in these kinda convos, pertaining to certain types of artist/producers, seemingly always have one thing in common

There from New York lol

You can literally just look at the poster and tell . I wonder why they have that all in common. Dudes act like admitting they have a regional bias is unforgivable Or something lmao. Just keep it a bean.

“Boosie ain’t a legend!!!!!!!! (Looks at location of poster....hmmm )

Meanwhile, all the other of us are from literally...every other region and recognize a Boosie or Ross legend status. Dudes on NT be acting like gatekeepers over who we, as a consensus give REAL appreciation too.

Boosie may not be your entire cup of tea. But deny that man status in hip hop....is od wrong. Legend

****in Christian Laettner has a gold medal.

If Reggie did that same 18 points against Miami, Charlotte or Atlanta, nobody would have given a ****. But it was Spike Lee, The Garden and the Knicks.

Mutha****a only scored above 20 points a season like three or four times.

Andrew sorry *** Wiggins does that.

What leader of a team is overhyped scoring 21 points a game?

Laettner was a token. Considering how much of a threat he was from outside, when and how he scored set him apart from his peers.

Nobody is saying

Biggie, Pac, Jay, Boosie....

 

[donewithjs]

No way someone with a good ear for music can say Boopac is legend status.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Skooly.

ANOTHER legend

Legends on legends on legends on legends

 

[Grine]

Hmmm...

 

[kingfoamnyc]

How the **** you a legend when you a off brand ***** who names himself after a real legend

 

[$tacy]

I hate cam, never been a fan..... but that ***** a legend thru and thru. That ***** made grown gangsters wear pink all across the WORLD. When we talk about hip hop, especially street rap u gotta mention that era/movement. But I mean while we here, I know NTNY gonna hate another southern legend

Gucci Mane and Cam'ron are both legends. Not because of the music

Strictly off influence and the ****** they put on

 

[wavycrocket]

Biggie, Pac, Jay, Boosie....

Those aren’t the only hip hop legends bruh shrug . It’s cute how protective you are over what you consider a legend.

Legend

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Absolutely a red-eyed bigen legend

Boosie been trash since he came home. His work from 02-09 makes him undboutbly a legend.

Not sure what’s hard to comprehend. Rappers fall off. Duh

 

[finessence]

They act like Jerry Rice ain’t finish his career with the Seahawks. Emmitt Smith with the Cardinals.... Shaq with Phoenix or Olajuwon with Toronto’s. Legends peak and fall ALLLLLLL the time

 

[Hahahaha]

Boosie and Ross were never as good as Olajuwon and Shaq

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Is a regional “Legend” really considered a Legend in the big scheme of things?

In a way they're almost more legendary. Thinking of the Mac Dres and Nipseys of the game

 

[Grine]

Boosie is a Louisiana legend. I can’t speak on an industry level. Maybe the Boosie Fade is a legend.

That’s why I said Ross is a Florida legend but he sure not a rap legend, industry wide.

#regionallegends

 

[HOU$TON]

Legend

 

[alexody]

you still play 50 music?

Nah (haven't played anybody in this discussion this year), now go ahead and make your irrelevant point

. They gracefully bow out and not ruin their legacy. And I never met one person who listens to Boosie until I moved down south.

Can you name someone you has done this.


Without a doubt Boosie a street legend

 

[JRaW’d]

So what exactly is the window of time that a rapper puts out high level, quality music that constitutes legendary status?

how many high quality albums/classics (this includes major contributions on group albums as well) is necessary to meet the bar?

some would say rakim but he aint done s*** the last 15-20 years. Some would say DMX but he had ONE great year. (Save me your bulls**t, its the truth)

so again, how long does the run need to be OR how many solid (4/5) to classic efforts are needed before theyre locked in?

Nah bro had a wave out West (especially Oakland/the bay), all through the Midwest (he was damn near the mayor of cities like Tulsa, Milwaukee, St. Louis, etc), the East Coast up until like Delaware area (DC, Baltimore, Carolinas etc) and obviously all through the South. His wave didn't really hit the North/Tri-state area tho

That's "regional" but not really regional

Waiting for Maximus Meridius to give us a multitude of reasons why he isnt

I don't rock with him but he is a legend.
