Legend Or No?: Talib Kweli

[5 Grand]

I voted yes because there was a time in the early 00s when Talib, Mos Def, Common and Black Thought were the epitome of "conscious rap". Anytime people discussed the dichotomy between gangsta rap vs conscious rap Talib's name was always in the conversation.

 

[Cutler 26 INT's LOL!]

He got some songs I like but naw.

Fuck. 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.

I can't wait for the eventual "_____ is a legend but ____ ain't?" Argument in one of these threads

Here's two songs I really liked by Talib



And here's the Get By Remix feat Jay, Mos Def, Kanye and Busta. This is one of the better posse jams I've ever heard.

It already started in the last thread. Word to O.C a legend but not Trick Daddy, Buckshot a legend but not Trick Daddy, ODB a legend but not Trick Daddy etc.

I think regional legend should be added to the options for threads like this !!!

3 classic albums, one sole, two group. The greats talk about him. Has hits. Help open the door for independent rap movement.

He ain't even a regional legend..silk shocker rza Flow bullshit

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

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

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

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

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

 

[power_wisdom]

When you say conscious rap he's one of the 5 names you think of. Definitely a legend.

 

[HerbalVaporCapers]

The Black Star album is a classic to me, but I can't say the same about any of his solo albums

 

[TheGOAT]

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

Why?

Trick won his thread
