Elaborate.


Btw, all i was saying is that the average shelf life for an artist was five years. Not saying that he won't last that long, but after that time period, is when u really see what that artist is made of.

But please, elaborate on what he has done thats so special.

So katy perry is more of a legend than Elvis and Mariah huh?

She got more #1 hits so she must be. Can't be because the labels rigged it :usure:

and no one checks for drake like that on this board no more unless u make some outlandish statements. if drake is on his way so is french and rick ross.

+ At this point in his career you literally have rappers/labels coming to Drake if they want to eat off a hit. 9/10 of these tracks would be duds without his involvement

+ Has yet to take a L in a beef even though he has dissed or been dissed by Ye, Hov, Pusha, Luda, Chris Brown(:heh:) and Common. He is also by far the easiest target yet no one has taken any effective shots

+He already has a classic hip hop phrase.(this isn't really a point more of a :salute: for that)

+ The highest selling artist of this era at the moment

+ All of his tapes and albums have seen relatively favorable ratings. Take Care, So Far Gone, and Room For Improvement in particular turned some heads.

+ Every album he dropped is platinum. With a gold EP

+ Every single one of his singles charted and ended up either plat or gold.

+ Club Paradise tour brought in 40 million. He also brought along a lot of dudes which is a good look to me.


If he can keep this up for another couple of year it might be undeniable. :manny:

More number 1 songs than anyone in rap history Lil Wayne
Highest grossing tour last year WTT tour grossed more

2 classic albums Just off the top of my head Kanye first two albums are more classic
Redefined the mix tape game I personally think Lil Wayne and 50 deserve more credit.

Songwriter of the year 2 years in a row Not really sure where u got this from.

:manny:

But don't get it twisted, i'm a Drake fan. Dude is one of the best rappers out now.

Very succesful and he'll stay in the game.

Don't really see his name being mentioned with legends though.

Krs, Ra, Rick, Nas, Big, Jay, Pac, Drake?

Nah :troll:

Nothing he's done suggests he will be a legend.

Unless you think nelly is a legend?

Then he might be.....

I don't wanna argue with u maf*ckaz no more.

U say he is a legend fine.

Let's see him go diamond. If he is that good, he will do it, when it is impossible.

Like every other REAL LEGEND.

Hate.

If going diamond makes you a legend, there will never be another legend in hip-hop. NO RAPPER WILL EVER GO DIAMOND AGAIN. You can take that to the bank with you.

Besides, Vanilla Ice went diamond, does that make him a legend?

Robert Johnson is a legend, he never saw a platinum plaque. Or a gold one for that matter.

i'm sure a gay sextape will get out soon and destroy his career within 2yrs

At this point, a gay sex tape wouldn't even hurt feelings much less a career.

Pls you're makin me sick with this jewish dikkrding.

WTT was bigger and grossed more outide the states also.

WOW Stop it he doesn't have any classic albums. Thats YOUR opinion. he made some good music thats about it. you can say their near classic at best. Anybody with common sense knows he doesn't have one.

his songwriting credits mean nothing, when theres so much more better written music out there you can find everyday.

legend? hell no. pls :comeon:

Yep. Anyone is welcome to help me out with this, but I really don't remember a single person in the history of hip hop that was so willing to put on so many dudes that weren't actually apart of their crew. Rappers usually put themselves on then their crew or hop on everyone's shyt to help themselves. He's been everywhere :obama:
Well with all the help he's gotten in his force fed stardom,he should help others.
No album at the time but has a video with kanye,eminem and wayne.Cosigned by countless celebrities and a handfull of collabos with stars despite no album. No other nikka had it like that. All he had to do was not mess it up.

Average shelf life of a music artist is five years.....

More so rap (if your lucky).

His music is hot right now, not taking that from him. But longevity wise, he will not be here. Timelessness is something that is of the absence in rap.

The only artist that will be legendary in rap after the usual Nas/Jay/Pac etc.. is Kanye. Seriously. No one respects this music. It's here today gone tomorrow. Ask Nelly, Ja Rule, Ludacris, DMX, Cam, Mase, Beans, Jadakiss etc...

And I'm a big hip hop fan... But the timelessness is what kills this genre
