It's reductive to call J.I.D. a "reddit artist" lmao, I know plenty of people who are normal and don't use Reddit who enjoy his music
And legacies are fluid. Just like they can take downturns, they can have upswings. In time, J.I.D. could end up being that dude, or he could not
T.I. is ahead of him for now, and may always be, but it wouldn't be surprising if J.I.D. ended up going on a creative tear in the near future
It’s not as reductive as calling TI an okay artist lol cmon that’s disrespect
B tier rapper specifically within the context of commercial rappers, I'd be lying if I implied he's on the caliber of Jay, Nas, Pac, Big, or even Blu (I hate his music but immensely respect him as a person and emcee), but you get my point.
Guess I'll agree with him having one of the best labels
Lmao @ Blu sneak
I feel like people will be deathly scared to admit this but Tory Lanez had a brief moment around I Told You
Canibus was HOT s*** for a minute. Anybody who has heard his feature run or the radio freestyles before Wyclef and LL Cool J drove him crazy knows. Big L levels of energy and punchlines. Jay Electronica adjacent mythos.
He fails so hard commercially that he only gets more insular and crazy tho. J Cole got his start on the Canibus forums. Has the song I Can Bus as a reference to him. Full of punchlines in that vein. That level of influence and he's got like 2-3 okay albums.
I mean listen to him go bar for bar with Rakim
The guy that cyberbullied a girl on Twitter for two years so much that his wife divorced him?
i forgot about this
