Really? and Ja Rule, DMX, Jay Z, Nelly and Eminem were all going platinum?

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Numbers dont mean shit 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.

You do know people are able to download music, right?

The year 2000 iTunes wasnt even here yet people was barely even fuckin with the internet like that

Albums were selling

Napster didnt hit its stride till 2001

Talib dont sell plain and simple

Neither does Devin, so what's your point.

Im well aware of his popularity in the mainstream

Devin is slept on

Talib is overrated

Damn, that's fucked up! I wonder why Em didn't attempt to sue Napster on the behalf of Royce. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he signed to Em's record label at one point?

 

[blackgod813]

Royce's manager had beef with Dre. He didn't wanna sign with Shady so he could "make it on his own" . That D12 beef came in the late 2000s.

 

[Matike85]

Fuck no

What up famo

Aint shit my nigga. Still out here slinging crack rock.

@_Goldie_ Nigga what's up with that Illpix 2017 Baddest Instagram Model Tournament tho.... it's put up or shut up time... real talk

 

[BobOblah]

Glad this poll was corrected

 

[Soloman_The_Wise]

Not all Legends are great ones but their mark is still made and they have a story to be told for the future which makes them another Legend...

 

[LUClEN]

Eardrum is a classic to me

 

[its....JOHN B]

FUCK what these dudes are talking about, that man is a legend, and this shit is off his so called worst album

 

[BobOblah]

Beautiful Struggle is definitely not his worst album
