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

What did he bring to those rappers styles that Lil Wayne hadn't already, the melodies?

Uzi Carti for starters. I mean Carti legit says slat which I thought was Thug's thing first

I do feel like Rocky is in a lot of ways Carti's biggest influence, the playful energy and cloud rap style of production he dropped on S/T.

I just feel like people here are throwing around the word legend, who cares if a bunch of c-tier rappers ended up biting Thug's style (not saying Uzi or Carti are c-tier, others) or put some slang terms in there. You can be influential but that doesn't make you a legend right?

Take a look at some of Carti's leak from post 2018/2019 I feel that original sound still got carried on a fair bit

I think for people who love music, influential =/= legend since we recognize you have to have a good catalogue in your own right. But to most people I think if you're influential and remembered in a good light you're a legend.

There's plenty of legends who don't really have a great discog outside of 1 classic album or a string of classic singles

I don't think you're wrong about Rocky --> Carti though. I just think he has multiple influences like most artists

i would argue that the music on die lit was different from self titled

and i would say it was even more different with the leaks

How many legends do you think there are in hip-hop, like roughly?

I think trying to cover all four decades there has got to be around 100 right? But if the definition is just popular rappers (with or without influence) that a lot of people like then we get to a way bigger number and the term gets watered down.
