Both. I got IWW, Rakim's 18th Letter and KRS' I Got Next back in 96-97.
The problem is people think there's this unwritten rulebook on who a rapper is supposed to listen to/ pay homage to/ consider a legend when there ain't.Chief Keef, Yachty, Uzi Vert, Young Thug grew up on Ye, Gucci, TI, Dipset, Wayne, etc and they pay homage to them.

These rappers now and days were born in the mid to late 90's so they pay homage to the artist they actually listen to(artist from the 2000's)and not these 90's rappers y'all Stan.
I know.Thats the point of my post
It didn't work for KRS against Nelly over 10 years ago so why would it work now?eventually one of these older cats gonna go off on them and lyrically body their careers, i suggest these youngin's calm down before they shyt really gets messed up.
not that I agree with the fukkboy u quoted but its kinda different, for one nelly didnt disrespect the old school, for two nelly lyrically won that beef idcIt didn't work for KRS against Nelly over 10 years ago so why would it work now?
Now all you old nikkas smoke some dope and get lit off this shyt
:tochilol:That's cause you corny.
You coli dudes need to think back to when you were 18 (I kno that's gonna be long time for a lot you nikkas )
But would u rather hear a 18 -22 year old Nas n Snoop rapping bout street shyt.
Or a 30+ year old BDK or Krs?
Would you rather hear a young funk flex spinning at the tunnel?
Or go to a Dj Kool Herc Sunday BBQ?
I honestly just get so tired goin on the Internet nowadays and try to discuss new hip hop with old ppl. That's why YouTube n soundcloud n ppl like Akademiks have boomed lately, seems like all the young nikkas just discuss it there.
Serious question. You really think Durk's career is in the state it's in because of a Game diss?not that I agree with the fukkboy u quoted but its kinda different, for one nelly didnt disrespect the old school, for two nelly lyrically won that beef idc
now if somebody like game for example whos still somewhat culturally relevant and would rap circles around a lil yatchy or lil uzi vert came out with a diss then the perception would be totally different than it was with nelly/krs u saw what happened with lil durk
