[LOUDaffair]

Blu
Little Brother

pretty much all those cats in the Native Tongues-esque lane today probably would have been more successful

 

[CrimsonTider]

Drake by far.

That "Dope shyt" track was the absolute truth! Then again that whole Pabst and Jazz mixtape was wild

 

[D.C Young]

I co-sign Lloyd Banks

dude would've been legend status if he came out in the 90's

- lyrics
- grimy voice (grimy era back then from what it seems like)
- homebase - new york city being a major staple in hip hop

 

[Non Sequitur]

Lloyd Banks would have had to go through an insurmountable amount of competition to be considered a legend during that time.

 

[Olivia Pope]

already posted but Joey Badass

 

[JoelB]

Elzhi

The answer to this thread. Damn shame the man was born a decade too late.

What if Elzhi was a part of The Firm, what if he was on all them late 90's posse cuts? What if he released music like Elmatic and nikkas actually gave a damn...


Poor guy

 

[lachreyatarbabypits]

It would be rude to poop on this party with real shyt so ima just say a bullshyt answer:

Kendrick Lamar.

 

[DosCadenaz]

Based God would be a legend.

do you think Cudi woulda blew up then?

 

[MrPentatonic]

papoose coulda been a challenger for biggies spot at the top of ny

dunno about that but..
around early to mid 2000's, I thought pap was going to takeover the game at the time but he flopped his situation at jive, a damn shame too, cant remember another NY artist making NY music who had the same momentum since

//

I nominate Lloyd Banks

Chamilionaire

chamil made a classic in the nineties,..ccc.

crooked came out in the nineties and sold out.

royce came out in the 90's and was certified from three records.

then jagged't it on a number of goof lame incidents and wack sellout records.
