Idk about that
Most black young people not really bumping Em like that, none of my friends do. Im probably the only person in my friend group who strongly respects Em
Oh no I didn’t mean about his current output. I think you’d be hard pressed to find people who actively listen to Eminem like that in 2022 even though they exist
But no one I know irl ever discredits Em for what he did in the 2000s
The big 3 are better than whoever was on top in the 2000s
J Cole is better than Ye?
we’re just pulling names out of a hat now?
That f***ing dweeb got his career ended by TIP
My take on this is that all of the legends were talking about are heralded like that for a reason. People as a whole accept them as legends if they’re deserving of it or not. No one is ever going to have unanimous support but you can’t change history.

Heralded is not the right word but idk what word I’m thinking of

S*** dawg not to mention Chamillionare, Boosie, Lupe, Cam’ron, Jim Jones, and Juelz Santana
If y'all really wanna roll around in the mud, the "big 3" of this era would be middle class at best in any other rap era. And if BIG hadn't died...Jay would be exactly where he was in the 90s. Good, respected..but not a legend
Kanye, Wayne, Jay, Luda, TI, Nelly, 50, Outkast, Em all looking at this post like
Luda, TI and Nelly weren't that great at the actual rapping
S*** dawg not to mention Chamillionare, Boosie, Lupe, Cam’ron, Jim Jones, and Juelz Santana
S*** Chingy, Cassidy, Common, Ja Rule, Nas, the Crunk rappers etc.. s*** was loaded lol
Nobody actually believes Cole is a legend right?
Overwhelmingly most people do
Luda, TI and Nelly weren't that great at the actual rapping
Luda was a really dope rapper even if his discography was mid, dude was for lyrically and had one of the best deliveries too
TI made number of classic albums and just good music in general to vibe with, little similar to Isaiah Rashad. Nelly has 2 classics so that alone negates the “rapping” ability
S*** Chingy, Cassidy, Common, Ja Rule, Nas, the Crunk rappers etc.. s*** was loaded lol
Nas was technically 90’s rapper tho
If you able to break at at least the regional level, you a legend
And anybody named in this thread is a legend based of the fact people go out of their way to discredit them for no material/spiritual gain at all.
