I love Saadiq but Curtis made Move On Up and that song is to important to my people.

 

[Whis Khalifa]

Saadiq is still making hits, his last album stays on rotation

 

[Goldie]

Bruh, Saadiq made hits as a solo artist, in 2 different groups, mad hits for other people, solange's biggest hit that was one of the biggest songs of last decade, one of badu's biggest hits, etc.

Yall niggas buggin. Nigga has hits in 4 different decades.

 

[Ibex]

Mayfield might be the most sampled artist in hiphop. Pac, Snoop, Jay Z, Kanye all stole from Mayfield

We’re talking bout his songs he sing. Not what he wrote because Dream has hits on hits on hits for him and other people and he didn’t make it out the 1st

I'm including everything. Even if we're only talking about songs he sings, he has hits as a solo artist and 2 different groups. Hits in 3 different decades.

Anyway you slice it, Saadiq>>>>>>>

Curtis Mayfield a legend, but Raphael's longevity and quality of music released up until now puts him ahead IMO.

 

[Goldie]

Saadiq made D'Angelo's "Lady" ... Classics for days.

 

[Eastbay510]

This is hard I went with Saadiq cuz I consider Curtis Mayfield more soul than r&b. I love his music though, he’s been sampled a lot in hip hop.

All I Ask of You, Still Ray, You etc..... Raphael has hella shit that’s stood the rest of time for 20-30 years now.

Plus he’s from The Bay

 

[SKPJR]

Love Sadiq but that Super Fly soundtrack is God like

 

[grYmes]

I’m going with Superfly but the choice wasn’t easy.

All this can be said same for Curtis

All this can be said same for Curtis

What's the 4 hits in different decades?

 

[GOAT]

First hit was in 64 with Keep On Pushin




Curtis worked until late 90s





He def got 4 hits sprinkled througout

 

[Focal Point]

This needs to stay open for a while and really be thought about

Nigga i said HITS, HITS, idgaf if the nigga kept workin till the 90s. Canibus is still making songs till this day, but the nigga hasn't been relevant since 98. Stop reaching.

He has hits in TWO decades. Big difference.

 

[GOAT]

Curtis only got hits in 2 decades?

:sayword:

Curtis Mayfield = Canibus now?

:sayword:

Kill yourself Goldie
