Legend or Vet: Common

[Revolver Ocelot]

he not even as major to chicago as beans is to philly, ..... but yall ready to call common a legend?


foh

You right Com more important to the Chi then Beans is to Philly.

The Chi respect their Legends, while Philly jump their supposed legends.

 

[OhMars]

Has everything but whats questionable to me is impact

How important is impact to you

 

[Lou Cypher]

Dude performed performed Bitch In Yoo in Westside Connections city and was cheered. Everybody thought he was a nice guy too but common a mean motherfucker.

But he missing something, i know. Top Tier Vet, he dont have enough impact or time on the throne to be a legend.

Kanye didnt HAVE to revive him. They just from the same city and Dilla had just died so Common needed a new producer to work with. Meeting Kanye was more of a right place at the right time type of thing. Im sure No ID put him on to Kanye as well. After the success of BE they kept that relationship going for a bit.

 

[ChicagoFigure]

But what wigga!

But idk if voting legend is just my bias its like with twista i remember when kanye was finally putting them to the forefront thinking "theyll finally get to blow up" shit kinda stayed the same even tho Be was classic

 

[OhMars]

Every great MC can't be a legend. Thats something special

Regardless of why they worked together kanye gave him a classic n brought him back. He released Electric Circus before that so mfs started writing him off. How u go to that from Like Water for Chocolate?

Finding Forever a classic also

 

[Duwop]

this has nothing to do with common, but i was appalled by some of the shit yall said in that beans thread, so i wll officially be this way whenever yall call a nigga a legend who ain't better than beans.....

shit's crazy

i don't like anything about these polls

 

[Old Man Cain]

Vet, he's the second most well known rapper from the Chi.

 

[ChicagoFigure]

Kinda crazy tho i voted gucci legend

Impact is serious mayne

 

[Like_Water]

Kinda crazy tho i voted gucci legend

Impact is serious mayne

Just because someone influences something doesn't mean it's a positive influence. It can be argued that Wayne and Gucci are both responsible for a lot of the fuck shit that happens in rap today.

The incoherence, the blatant glamorizing of being a drug user, the faggy fashion. All impact ain't positive.

How many rappers have accomplished what Common has? Some of you niggas suck.
