When are we going to lighten up when it comes to rap music?
« on: August 14, 2009, 08:30:22 PM »
This whole joe vs wu situation had me thinking about how people are mad at joe just because hes saying shit about legends (did we forget about freedom of speech) and how us fans are not allowing rappers from this era to become legends (couple of them could be called legends) I respect some of the legends trust me, but just like the word CLASSIC the word LEGEND is thrown around way too much for rappers back in old days ( would like a definition of legend btw so this argument can get more interesting) i feel that some rappers back then are not LEGENDS as some people say...but im not gunna name until someone can give me their definition of legend

were too busy praising the legends when we should be praising the rappers that are making good music too TODAY and give them a CHANCE to get a legendary status


but then when a rapper dies we give them so much praise...its like a rapper has to die to realize how good dude was...but then other rappers die and we wanna PRAISE them so much when they werent even that good...i dont get it


can someone give me an explanation?


haters who wanna come in...one ya self

i'm telling you people are stuck in the past, it won't change.

but i don't want to give my definition of legend because i agree with what you're saying & i'd rather let somebody who disagrees give the definition.

but i would say an important factor or criteria is a good discography, for sure.

that's borderline, he made quite an impact & was part of the most controversial beef in history lol.

but it will definatly raise some eye-brows & maybe we will get some responses here lol.

not going to front, the beef with Pac without a doubt raised his level of stardom.

without it, be probably wouldn't have died & people would call him a legend; but i don't know where he would of went from their.

it's hard to assume something like that.

oh, i don't care, i don't care.
in the darkened underpass i thought oh god my chance has come at last
and then a strange fear gripped me and i just couldn't ask
take me out tonight where there is music and people, young and alive
oh, driving in your car i don't want to go home because i don't have one anymore
Cool breeze; I'm hopping out of new Beams
My outfit ran me a few G's but none of that will matter if you leave
I used to be an Adam with two Eves and shawtys automatically do me
Excuse me, all that happened before you doesn't matter
I'm a vision of the future climbing the success ladder
Recline, in the mean time, twenty three shine, diamond bling blind as I rewind

Big is definetly a legend. No matter the circumstances, his influence on today's biggest rappers is undeniable. He wasn't some average rapper who died and suddenly became a legend and anyone who thinks that is either plain ignorant or has been sucking way too much West Coast dick. Big was part of the equation long before Pac went public with the feud. Sure, death might have elevated the conversation a bit more but the same can be said about Pac.
