Legend Or No?: Talib Kweli

[Beta]

Fuck no

What up famo

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

Keep doin your thing homie

 

[Beta]

Wouldn't even call him a NYC legend.

Because NY got too much juice lol

Had kweli been from Ohio he would be top 5 ever Midwest lol

I mean if Ohio or even the midwest for that matter got behind him like that, maybe. I think he only appeals to a small amount of ppl. I'd call him a poor man's Common without the crispy flow.

I'm staying impartial but lemme ask

Throughout hiphop's entire history you would consider trick daddy more of a legend and having higher status than talib kweli? (I have to keep using trick because he's the only other person I can reference right now)

Yes

Was I talking to you you fuck nigga?! Lol nah but thanks for the participation

 

[TheGOAT]

Do New Yorkers even support Talib like that?

His highest selling album is Reflection Eternal and even that only moved 21k 1st week

Overall, yes. Numbers dont lie.

Common crispy flow??? Fake news..

 

[black caesar]

Not a legend, but he's a MC I've always rocked to and respect. The Blackstar album is the joint.

When that album came out White hipsters said it was better than Thriller and Illmatic combined.

 

[Mister B.]

Nah. A couple of good solo albums (Quality, Eardrum, and Fuck the Money), nothing that was greatness.

He cool, tho.

 

[Beta]

Got two ppl in mind but I'm not trying to go back to the south again so I might go elsewhere

If kweli gets washed I'll make another thread in the evening

 

[Matike85]

How ya'll The Reason dudes vote Lupe Fiasco as the best rapper since the year 2000 but Talib Kweli is not Legend? Talib Kweli is Lupe Fiasco Rap Father in Conscious Rap....

 

[Moore7s]

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.

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

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

This is wild because I really dig Mos' music but you're right.

Blackstar, Quality and Train of Thought are great albums.

Kweli definitely made his mark on the culture.

 

[BobOblah]

Blackstar, Reflection Eternal (which is a solo album lol Hi Tek is a producer. Is 4:44 a group album too?), Quality, Eardrum and everything in between makes him top 10 and one of the longest and most consistent catalogs in hip hop ever.

And Canibus can rap circles around Kweli. What's your point.

Beta, if you want to set the Reason on fire do polarizing east coast and south rappers. Nore, ODB, Project Pat, Gucci Mane etc.
