Spin-off: Lupe or Chief Keef who completes Chicago’s Mount Rushmore

[Suckio Andretti]

Durk?

It ain’t Lupe I can tell you that

Not a Nigga who been underground and out of touch with the youth for a decade

that nigga is funny enough the Royce Da 5’9 of chicago

 

[SeaSnake]

Lupe cuz he still actually making music even if I never listen to it

Lupe is actually from Chicago ...

He made and maintained his own name and presence in hip hop

Both unlike royce

Royce's career denouement is amounting to being Eminems guard dog... how it starts is how it ends i suppose ... Lupe aint goin out like that

I'd even suspect Lupe had a greater local fanbase than royce..but i can't speak on Detroits behalf

 

[Rickyrich]

Keef fell off after his debut, Durk took his spot

He opened the door

 

[Disanthrope]

Twista
Koonye
Common
Lupe

That's the 4

 

[Disanthrope]

Any list without Twista is invalid and you don't know hip hop

 

[Disanthrope]

Good question.

Redman, Treach, Latifah, LaLauryn

Ehh can't leave out Budden. Can't. That's an easy swap for Lauryn Hill who also sings and fell the fuck off

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Lol Budden don’t come close to Jersey s Mount Rushmore is you crazy

Bullshit. He continued that lyricism in his era. Niggas shout Lauryn for Nostalgia, she really fell off

U can argue Lauryn got 2 classics

How many Budden got? Mixtapes don’t count

Mount Rushmore is about everything. Budden doesn't have a strong discography but he made a big impact in the game overall.

What podcasting? That shit don’t count in this argument

 

[Swiffness!]

Kanye, Keef, Lupe, Common

i agree

love Twista, by all means give him his flowers, but "pioneer at rapping really fast" does not override the impact of those 4 other guys.

Common's resume is arguably GOAT material. 1994 classic album. The Bitch in Yoo. Only rapper to do a prison concert tour like Johnny Cash. Etc.

Sir. Twista has a top 10 classic underground album Adrenaline Rush and a LEGENDARY verse on Po Pimp that arguably but the chi on the map. Twista can't be excluded

They count in hip hop. Most rappers wouldn't have careers without them.

 

[Nicky dimes]

If you spinning off the Atlanta thread you have to remove Kanye since he’s not born in chicago….

Oh so we got Kendrick?

Does Pro Am and AAU count when we break down a basketballer s career?

 

[Mister]

[Elzo69Renaissance]

He was born in Chicago

 

[Mister]

He was born in Chicago

Since when?
