[Goldie]

[AP2.5]

he was the face of an entire region

he has the respect and admiration from rappers that came after him

and he was one of the first, imo, who put oakland on the map

 

[OhMars]

Heavy influence in the south and the west. Ben in the same 20+ years, that's a legend

 

[Goldie]

all three of my points answered this

 

[Goldie]

he was the face of an entire region

he has the respect and admiration from rappers that came after him

and he was one of the first, imo, who put oakland on the map

1st point: how long do u have to be the face of a region to be a legend?

2nd point: too subjective

3rd point: so if you're the first from your area to somewhat blow up, you're a hiphop legend?



I want this in writing for future debates <<< bars.

He's a legend, he put The Bay on the map and still dropping shit now.

When's the last time he dropped a rap album that was significant to the rap game?

 

[Chi-Town B]

It's been a while but that don't take from his run in the late 80's and the 90's.

He was never top 5 or top 10 during any moment in hiphop history. Just cuz the mf been around for eons that doesn't mean he's a legend

Nah nigga

You gonna have to tell the class why he's not one

I'm saying, if these are the qualifications yall are going by, then damn near all of the artists we've polled so far should be legends.


Cam for ex.

Has had a longer run of significance. A bigger impact at his peak. He's a better MC. Was and arguably still is the face of Harlem. I can go on.

So if these are the qualifications, then we need to re-do the artists we've polled.

Artists from Harlem come a dime a dozen b

Hell, artists from NY period

They all have their respective runs

But then we really need to pause these and come up with criteria

 

[Old Man Cain]

Legend easily been in the game close to 30yrs

 

[OhMars]

There are gonna be a lot of emo tears and horizontal wrist lists over this. He had a cult following.

 

[OhMars]

Wrong thread, move that to triple x thread (RIP)

 

[GOAT]

Longevity in the rap game is a rare
