compared to all the rappers that blew up after 2016/2017 definetely

ppl be making up arguments in their head

OP Lauryn Hill has only one album and is a rap legend (I‘m not comparing them but how many years you‘ve rapped doesn‘t define how many impact you have)

Pop Smoke had huge potential especially since he was starting to show a lot of versatility as an artist which all greats must have.

It’s sad to see him go out so young. Can’t forget X and Juice too all three of these young me had immense talent and huge potentials.

He was iight. I don’t think he would’ve been a “superstar” like some people on this forum. Extreme NY media bias when it comes to anyone from NY with a decent size following

lock thread ban op

pop was on pace to be a superstar

Change your name to you cuz i dont f*** with YOU

yeah literally nobody can fill that role he had. he was different

He ran the summer in NY in 2019.
He was going to run SUMMERS for years to come.
Listen to Meet The Woo V1 and V2 and just feel the energy that came through the speakers. These posthumous albums are a whole other story completely.

He was ok but idk about all that

He was gonna be a legend man. Bro had an elite voice, quotables, melodies, could make any type of song, was even gonna venture into making Spanish songs. And he was started to do movies.

He’s garbage

I see why David bullies you now

And also he barked on camera which was a little suspect.

Nah, he was incredible, even his biggest throwaways slapping on faith. I can't even imagine what this dude could be in 5-6 years with that voice and i'm mad af at least once a day that those stupid lowlife f***ers killed him

I think he had a lot of potential. He was something new and different (at least to the mainstream) in a landscape where rappers can feel like copies of each other. Most of all he was versatile. To sound as confident and fully developed as he did at age 20 with so much ahead of him, you don't see that often. In the end it's a shame he was taken from us so quickly.

yeah but that's ignoring the years of work she did with the fugees, her legacy isn't defined by just one album

wait until op finds out about Biggie

i’m with this take

his voice was perfect for rap and could do his thing on a hook too

he may have, he was about 2 go crazy in the acting world too

nah I really do think he would of been a superstar because of his versatility alone. Like we already f***ed with his drill songs heavy (Dior + Welcome to the Party a forever classic), but then mans showed us he could do 2000s rap ballads and singing chunes?

I was a huge fan following Meet the Woo 1+2, but SFTS/AFTM confirmed that he was on his way to supestardom.

Rest of the NY drill rappers are mid compared to Pop

Yeah, I‘m sorry I left The Score out because it isn’t a solo album - still very important tho. I just think that the argument that rappers can‘t be called legends because they haven‘t left us many records is stupid. Big L, Big Pun, Biggie and Lauryn are good examples of that.
