Talib is a legend but let's be real

[5 Grand]

Here's a song that came out around 2006, Its called Across The Tracks by Papoose feat Nas. Papoose gets the best of Nas imo.

Across The Tracks - Papoose feat Nas

I always feel like talib gets outshined if he is a feature or has a feature. Always.

I always feel like talib gets outshined if he is a feature or has a feature. Always.

he got bars but zero charisma thats why, he is boring so the feature is automaticaly like some fresh air on the song lol

Poltergeist with Gucci he smoked him(expected) & I thought he had the best parts on guerilla monsoon rap (very debatable)

I always feel like talib gets outshined if he is a feature or has a feature. Always.

 

[TheGOAT]

So we all agree Talib is never the best rapper on a track unless its a solo cut

:lol:

Thats comedy. Thread starter needa change thread title. It will get more hits

Country Cousins ft UGK

 

[T. Sanford]

Imo, Talib won with his verse on Respiration but by a slight margin

 

[TheGOAT]

Push Thru - ft Kendrick & Currenssy

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

Mos was outshining talib all up and down that blackstar album

That's my feeling lol. He's a dope rapper no doubt, but outside of blackstar and the first reflection eternal album, he just sounds so emotionless when he raps. Especially when other people are rapping with him.

I always check for his music though, he doesn't make bad music or anything just isn't as enthusiastic with his lyrics as others might be haha.

 

[Lou Cypher]

Even Jean grae on the hot thing remix had a better flow and verse than talib haha. She aint the most charismatic of artists either.

Imo, Talib won with his verse on Respiration but by a slight margin

But Mos Def did wreck throughout his verse especially when the best drop

 

[D.Original]

He did his thing here but still got got by everyone else.

 

[grYmes]

But yea it's all true.

 

[TheGOAT]

Imma take it 1 step further and say im not sure if he counts as a "legend"

No diss

Cole and electronica killed this song in a good way. Dope verses from both. Glad they had talib go first and get his shit out of the way lol.

co sign, he aint no fuckin legend ,and I respect him lyrically, having lyrical skill aint enough to be considered a legend

This could be debated for sure. Despite him not being my favorite rapper or anywhere in the top 15, i do think he's made a big enough impact in some shape or form to be consisered a legend.

I really wish blacksmith records took off around when "eardrum" came out. He had some great acts signed with him that would have been dope to see them get some mainstream attention. He had Jean grae and strong arm steady and a couple other people that were dope.

 

[SolemnSauce]

talib aint no fuckin legend

 

[achewon87]

Interesting...

Can he be a legend if he is consistently outshined?...
