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

[Harry B]

In what ways, Big Boi's solo was somehwat successful, and Andre was on the mtv's 10 hottest rappers a few years ago

I said that as separate artist yeah perhaps.

 

[Harry B]

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.

 

[Brady-Carter]

Nas, Jay-Z,........mayyyyyybeee Common and The Roots....

Only dudes who's album drop, I always cop first day. for the last 15+ years

Dre legitimately has that "one hot album every 10 year" average and it's only because he puts out an album a decade.

He also has 0 non-classic album every 10 year average

More teens can quote his Look At Me Now verse than anything off of Untitled and Distant Relative.. How do you define relevance?

Busta Can't even quote that damn verse let alone some kids

 

[kermit da hustla]

I didn't know they sold jay-z cds in Montana or had high speed internet access for that matter

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.

Fat Joe

 

[moneyel]

Busta has been relevant longer than both...

i was gonna say busta

 

[L. Deezy]

Fat Joe

but see Fat Joe and Busta are good for a single or cameo... People always say they cant listen to a whole album from either..soooooooooo strike them off the list. but they are legends
