Nicki make pop trap music :mjlol:

Being originally from there means nothing. If that's the case, why you ain't claiming Waka? :jbhmm:

And another thing, I said this decade. And you bringing up carti :unimpressed:

Who signed to a nikka that had to bite the south to pop :dead:
I don’t know why ur choosing to argue with me in this thread with shyt that has nothing to do with the thread in general. I addressed the OP. That’s all. U having some weird issue with New York is ur problem. I’m not here for that. I explained the situation in the OP. All that other shyt u speaking about is irrelevant. Also resorting Nicki’s entire career to pop trap music is wild af and doesn’t deserve a response.

It's obvious the nikka has an inferiority complex or else he wouldn't be bringing shyt that has nothing to do with the topic lol. Same nonsense we've been seeing from others on here for years

It's like the people that rate them have no respect for longevity and body of work.. I've seen ONE good project place rappers into the conversation of all time greats...

Now I'm aware that things like untimely death o prison can make you try to forecast what they COULD have been and give them honorable mentions.. But this sh1t has gone too far imo..

Big L-No classic albums, 1 good album and a handful of punch line heavy features..

Big Pun-1 Classic album and 1 weed plate. That's it. And dudes have the nerve to say he would be the GOAT if he wasn't Latino.

Slick Rick-1 Classic album. 4 total retail releases in almost 30 years.

Jadakiss-Zero classics. Bad hairline.

Notorious B.I.G.- 2 classic albums. The greatest argument for a small body of work elite emcee (top 10 is fair). But you can't be the greatest EVER if you haven't succeeded through multiple eras...

Lauryn Hill- From Jersey but same sh1t. 1 Classic group album and 1 Classic Soul album where she only raps on 50% of the songs. Hasn't done sh1t for almost 20 years.

Mos Def- 1 regional classic and an overrated group album. Moved to Africa to duck child support. No grind.

GZA- Classic Swords and a handful of great Wu Tang verses.

Big Daddy Kane- Reign on the top was shorter than leps. Debut classic, really good follow up. Hasn't charted in 20 years.

You make a good point. Many don't have prolonged work.

They catch a major success, and the eat and tour off one or two albums. But become lazy.

I was thinking of this lately. Like success in terms of one big major hit, or a period of 3 years and then just eating off that work.

Or how 50 and Ja keep a 20 year old beef on refresh.

A thinking fan would think it's bad, but the mindless ppl who hit shows don't care.

Which is fine, drawing crowds in crucial.

I hear you.
