Are Jay-Z and Nas the only rappers ever that have been relevant for 15+ years?

Bun B?
Dj Quik?
Scarface
Quik has not been relevant like that for mad years since the 90s I would say, he's been relevant on the low.

I thought about Face 89 to ? I would say 02 which is 14 years?
But some would probably say up until Exodus, specially in the south.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves about Nas. There was a stretch of time where he was under appreciated by a lot of people outside of his die hard fans.

Jay-z, sure. He managed to keep himself luke warm to hot since Vol 2.

Tupac went from 1993 all the way up until 2008 where people were still actively making a big deal about his music.

I know Usher isn't exactly Hip Hop but he should be mentioned.

When wasn't Nas appreciated? Cause even during Nastradamus and I Am he was moving units and hot in the streets. SD might've been a little error, but he fell back and killed it with a comeback with HHID and shut shyt down again.
