I already know this thread gonna piss me off.

So Jadakiss, Rick Ross, Fab, Luda aren't legends, but Black Thought is........


Yall niggas funny man

 

[Chi-Town B]

He's a vet, dope lyricist but if you moved him out the game it wouldn't be a loss

 

[grYmes]

Vet... but he’s closer to legend status than any of the vets voted in.

 

[Inori]

Top tier veteran/lyricist.

Not sure I can say LEGEND tho....

 

[CeLLar-DooR]

As the face of the only really successful rap band I'd have to say he's a legend

The Roots themselves are legendary, and as the frontman for the group, Black Thought is a legend.

Even random members of Wu are legends by affiliation.

Strong vet. Idk why he ain't level up. He got the skills

Half right. He is a vet but the roots are legendary. The wu is legendary but u god aint.

As a group u can legend but as a solo artist u may not have the same status. Busta rhymes is an example of it being opposite. His status as solo artist is above his status as part of a group

 

[A-List]

He's in a legendary group

Guys.... if bun B is a legend, black thought is

And he’s better than wack ass bun B

Idk what I voted for bun b but if we're talking technical skills yeah BT is better.

But Bun B, I feel, has been more active and influential in the culture underground and mainstream.

Guess it depends what the standards are.

 

[John Shippuden]

The roots though

 

[ChicagoFigure]

The roots though

I think (and only assuming) Ugk has always been more popular than the roots, even for the average Joe that never listened to a full album of either group

Meaning the impact seems to be heavier for ugk

Yeah but the roots are way more legendary than UGK you’re saying popularity helped make bun B a legend because of the notoriety of UGK and that’s cool

But the ROOTS and black thought is a top 10 all time MC to some

he’s a legend undeniably

 

[John Shippuden]

Don’t make this list invalid already guys

Fabolous and black thought are not the same

It's akin to saying Em is top 10 skillwise but bc of subject matter and battling Nick Lachey and "Take My Ball" type songs he don't belong

Which are valid points

 

[ChicagoFigure]

It's not just skill its impact as well I guess immtryna say
