Not a legend like Em, Big, Pac etc but definitely a top tier when comes to the new gen of trap artists. Paved the way for lots of stuff
Outside of his glory years (2014-2017) dude is super overrated. Especially current him
Thug's prime was so ridiculous tho.
It broke down so many doors in so many different ways.
From the clothes to the to flows we feel the ripple effects of it to this day.
Hell no. He's made some legendary mixtapes and has some of the best leaks I've heard from a rapper though but I don't get the drive to call everyone a legend.
influence
Crazy that this is even a question. Dude pushed the limits of rap. Not to mention he initially got s***ted on for his style just to end up becoming one of the most copied artists in the past decade
I was just listening to this song few mins ago as I came across this thread
shame the dude Amherst deleted the tape off his band camp....this a legendary tape.
ps - 1st time hearing song in op, and I like it.
I would say he's a legend in the trap world. his 14-15 run alone cements him
been
You aren’t part of the culture if you don’t think thugger is a legend

Givenchy my clothes and my bros and my hoes, fa sho fa sho
Lmao. Everybody a legend ig
Thug isn’t just everybody lol. OP didn’t say “is Smokepurp a legend?”
Yeah but like another user said not in the same way as the old legends. He's a legend in the sense where we can pretty much say his style originated with him. There's Wayne influence there but I can confidently say there was no Thug before Thug.

Facts. Prime Thug is one of one
He arguably was years ago just for how he impacted the game. Once Uzi and them drop that’s when he’s a legend IMO bc he forever altered the rap game
Not being funny/ironic either
He just dont have the discography to match which hopefully is the silver lining in him getting this time to sit down and plot out where he wants to go next assuming they don’t bam him the f*** outta here. Hytunes never dropping as a real album with one of those pre 2016-2018 style rollout moments f***ed up his artistic trajectory
Who did he influence that's genuinely great?
Uzi Carti for starters. I mean Carti legit says slat which I thought was Thug's thing first
Ofcourse tf kind of question is that
Y’all need to understand that anybody whose art, style, and overall presence in the culture makes a big enough impact that they are guaranteed to be remembered for generations makes them a legend by default
Y’all not ready for that conversation tho
