Poll Legend or Vet: Black Thought

[AP2.5]

Baton Rouge don’t have the authority to call meetings.

You need to go through NOLA HR first for anything NOLA related.

I'm in Nola maybe 3x a week b and lived there for about 4.5 years before Katrina

If anyone authorized to speak on it, it's me

Y'all be trying to play BR but not on my watch

 

[Word....Life]

Niggaz bout to start a beignet fight in here?! Black Thought GOTTA be a legend...

[#1hiphopjunki3]

I never said you said that

Is George Gervin in the same realm as MJ? They both legends right?

Your stance is dumb too lol

@Beta Gave you a GOAT for the Gervin reference!

 

[Okaay]

More dumbass response



So the group is legendary, and presumably well known by the average Hip Hop

But the ONLY front man for said group isn't

:wdf5:

Wish Bone a legend too? If they wasn’t a live band Black Thought would have to change his name to After Thought

 

[deadeye]

For a min I thought this was @deadeye!

:lol9:

 

[Okaay]

If only your fans heard of you, you’re not a legend.

This was a great thread. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

@ChicagoFigure
I hear you on "BE" and Common's overall discography is pretty damn nice. I honestly like Like Water for Chocolate, One day it'll all make sense, and Resurrection better than BE. "BE" is still a great album though.

I feel the Roots have more great albums than Common though. Even if it isn't by much. Lol.

Illadelph Halflife, Do you want more?, Things Fall apart, Rising Down, Phrenology, The tipping point, How I got over, are all albums I loved.

It's awesome actually seeing folks be so passionate about really good artist and their artistry on here!!! I hope this continues with other threads.

Wish Bone a legend too? If they wasn’t a live band Black Thought would have to change his name to After Thought

So all the members of Bone are legends but Wish?

See this is the stupid fukn logic I'm talking bout...


We're done here slim

I shudda made the thread smh

Cosign last paragraph

But Common definitely gotta rank higher than BT

 

[AZTG]

BT and Common could go either way to me.

I rank BT higher.

They both legends. Both statuses are cemented.

 

[Word....Life]

They both legends TO ME but Common more “known” cuz he full blown crossed over to movies-movies and BT stopped wit...
Lol

But as far as rhymers, spitters, lyricists...Common is slightly behind BT, Pharoahe Monch and MOs Def...but Common definitely gets busy and puts out great work too...let me be clear...COMMON IS DOPE TOO AND DEFINITELY A LEGEND

 

[ChicagoFigure]

To those rank BT higher do u care if said rappers are battle tested and if/who they battled?

 

[Inori]

im not tryna take anything away from Common, Monch, Mos or Kweli....


but what makes Common a legend again?

I only ask to compare on how BT is being gauged on whether he's a legend or not. I'm not talking about movies n shit. Strictly hip hop.

Is it cuz he made I used to love H.E.R.(Classic Track)? Cuz he made the bitch in yoo? something else?

 

[ChicagoFigure]

Take away the movies Common would still be more known as a rapper

[ChicagoFigure]

Skillwise u can give it to whoever

I can't see how u can put BT above Common careerwise and impact on game, objectively
