Not a Jay-Z or Eminem thread...............

[TheIraq]

I like Jeezy and T.I. but are their best albums really classics?

 

[dizzmatic89]

I think T.I. is one for sure, but I don't know about Jeezy yet.

For the simple reason that since he came out, T.I. has been lacing the game with hot shit. His weakest albums shit on a lot of rappers' careers.

 

[The_Man]

to me none of them are legends but i like their music especially jeezy.

 

[DarthRozay]

depends on what criteria you're using to consider someone a legend. i mean droppin at least a classic album? nah, i dont think either have done that and im a fan.

 

[TheIraq]

Ok so are Nelly and Ludacris legends?

 

[TheIraq]

Legend = dominating a specific period + good quality music over an extended period

TI might qualify

Jeezy doesnt yet

Wayne, Outkast, and Scarface so far are the only rappers who are legends south of the mason dixon imo

Im from chicago so when you say mason dixon fuck you I dont know ur talkin about but when you say legends in the south I understand lol... No love for UGK or 8ball and MJG in the south then?

 

[The_Man]

Ok so are Nelly and Ludacris legends?

Nelly fuck no lol ludacris is a great rapper but legend is too strong of a word for him.

 

[sniperk]

Nas >> Jay Z or Eminem when it comes to legend status

hiphop historians will study Nas like others study Miles Davis or Robert Johnson...

 

[makaveli4ever]

T.I. will be one.

 

[Stew]

TI, yes cause he is/was a heavyweight for most of the 2000's

Jeez,y no cause he's one dimentional and relys on production

Luda, ehhh yea prolly

Nelly, no

What the spam bot is trying to say is fuck your thread nigga

 

[usmarin3]

When i think legend i think LONGEVITY + IMPACT+ CLASSICS

I don't think either has all three yet, don't confuse being popular for being a legend.

TI

10 years deep and still being checked for. Longevity- check
Rebirthed the Trap movement. Impact-check
Trap Muzik and a number of solid albums- Catalog-check

Now I wouldn't dare put him in the same category as a Jay, Nas, Em or Face but he's in that next tier

co-sign. plus the fact that he's been to jail 3 or 4 times during his career and bounced back is pretty impressive

 

[Say What]

TI is

Jeezy no

Luda close. If Busta makes it Luda does

Ball & G UGK yes they pioneers in the south & didn't get alot of spins in their prime

Nelly will be looked at a a single artist but no good cds

 

[TheIraq]

While I know that Busta is better then Luda that's the only reason why I say yes as well. He's gotta come wit at least another solid album tho. That Battle of the Sexes shit was so bad I didn't even bother listening to it lol
