Ross Just Solidified Himself As A Legend

[Ineedmoney504]

I don't think Curren$y ever dropped a weak album...Pilot Talk 1 and 2...TANM...Covert Coupe and The Stoned Immaculate are just as good if not better than any Ross album imo...that nikka is a legend too..fukk it...

being real ima big spitta fan, fukkin wit him before all yall, his albums are not on that level at all, and "this is not a mixtape" is just aight, but being a legend is more than dropping nice music, u have to had impact the people, ross will be remembered for have the streets in his hands right now, spitta will gon down as a underground legend, he just dont have that impact on the hip hop game like that though

UGK was never the greatest lyricist on earth i consider them legends, 8ball and MJG are not the greatest lyricist on earth i consider them legends I can go on.

There's a few Ross joints that's just aight to me...its my opinion...Spitta makes just as good if not better music to me...that's it..he's a legend...Wayne dropped 2 straight garbage albums in a row and people call him a legend...Spitta don't got nothing as wack as Carter 4...he's a legend...

all of a sudden everything this nikka ever did wuz damn near classic lol....I remember when Trilla dropped and I wuz tellin u nikkas to look out fro ross and how he's advancing lyrically and them thread wuz floppin with a handful cosigning,and the rest mocking us....now he a legend? Fuk outta here...TI ain't a legend,Jeezy ain't a legend,Lil Wayne ain't a legend but Ross is:onlyonsohh:

Impact-no
Classic album-no
Classic songs-a couple,not legendary at all,Wka Flocka got a couple too.
Classic verses-hell no,think verses like Pac on California Love,TI on neva scared,Nate Dogg Ain't No Fun,Plies on I'm So Hood,Drake on Forever,DMX-Ruff Ryders anthem,50 in da club,cube today wuz a good day

Outside of his BMF and Hustlin hook,ross don't have verses people who ain't fans of dude will be singin in unison at the club or show...nikka don't even have classic one liners,Drake got one on Stay Schemin and a helluva verse too....all hate aside he fits 0 criteria of a legend...outside of BMF which is recent,maaaybe Hustlin what songs of his will they be playing 20 yrs after the fact nikkas will no word for word? Outside of ross loyal fanbase he has no impact and the sales reflect that...don't compare that nikka to jeezy,ti,wayne,and especially Jay evr a day in your life whichever one of y'all,I think Loose said that dumb shyt.

u my nikka but e-40 dont match anything on that list, nikka is trash doggie, but i bet u think that nikka is a legend,

ross>>>>>>>everybody in wu tang, but yall claim them nikkaz legend(nikkaz be talkin bout odb a legend and he got a classic ), nobody from this era of hip hop care about they music, so why yall nikkaz keep crying about how nobody gon care about ross music in 10 year, nobody besides old ass nikkaz care bout they music right now

Too me every era in hip hop has their own "legends" and you can't necessarily compare different eras. To me most 80's and early 90's stuff sounds kind of boring now and I'd much rather listen to Ross or Game or Jeezy even if they're perceived as being lesser lyricists but I can still respect both groups of artists as "legends".

There's only 5 artists that seem to transcend the eras as of now: Tupac, Big, Jay, Nas and Em. Every other "legend" was only a legend by their eras standards, and if they had debuted in another era their music wouldn't of had the same impact IMO.

Basically here's how I would divide up the eras and their respective legend:

80's/Early 90's (Basically pre-Illmatic):

Rakim, Kool G Rap, Jam Master Jay, Eazy-E, Slick Rick, Beastie Boys, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, Ice Cube

Mid 90's:

Tupac, Big, Nas, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, DMX, Rae, Ghost, Outkast

Late 90's/early 2000's:

Eminem, 50 Cent, Cam'ron, Common

Mid 2000's:

Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Game, Kanye, Lil Wayne (realize he debuted in the 90's but mid 2000's is when he really took off)

Late 2000's/early 2010's:

Drake
Too early to tell but someone like Kendrick Lamar or J. Cole probably have next

Again not an all inclusive list, I'm probably missing a handful, but pretty close.

Of course there are regional legends like E-40 in the Bay Area, and there are artists that are legends to certain groups of people within the genre, like Kid Cudi to his rather large, rabid fan base and I respect them too.

The most frustrating thing is when nostalgic old heads put music from 20 years ago on a pedestal like it can never be touched. The thing is today's artists don't want to touch it, the musical climate and people's preferences have changed.

Nah son...if u have a fav artist..who u don't feel dropped wack shyt...he's a legend...

E-40 got more classic songs,!ore sales,more impact,longevity,more success yet I've seen him called "local",legendary cosigns,Pac callin u the king,cube,too short,ugk all giving u props when u not top 10 biggest names even in hiphop at the time but just bcuz they fans is more flattering and real then nikkas givin u props cuz u hot at the moment well see if its real when he's irrelevant and the new nikka comes along,dudes wuz gushin over wayne worse who y'all now say is horrible...waynes done far more


Dude could be a low tier legend if he show sum longevity,I just see this thread and every ross thread as a move to set him up for goat status with absolutley NO criteria met? Nah we not goin for it

These nikkas don't get it tho...all u gotta do is like an artist and think he drops dope music= legend...lol..

 

[ItalianoCAC]

ross>>>>>>>everybody in wu tang,

Negged for this dumb ass fukking cornball statement.




shut the fukk up and stop listening to the police. They train cops to lie to you and fukk with your head

 

[zerozero]

I'm beginning think some of the 80s/early 90s rappers are underrated on here and the mid 90s might be overrated

like, LL Cool J...

 

[kermit da hustla]

consistency

Port Of Miami - 4/5 (Hustlin is a classic, and that album had great production)
Trilla - 4/5 (had that miami sound, introduced Justice League & MM)
Deeper Than Rap - 4.5/5 (classic album, not perfect but had the classy sound)
Teflon Don - 4/5 (His most 'mainstream' album, still a great body of work)
GFID - 4.5/5 (most soulful album yet, high production value, great)

you cant name too many rappers that have dropped 5 straight dope albums. Not to mention the mixtapes he's released.

Albert Anastasia
Ashes To Ashes
Rich Forever

then you factor in the MMG releases....dude is a legend at this point, now he'll just be climbing the ranks the rest of his career

yeah, it's more than arguable that the dude is now sitting among rare company. if it weren't for the fact ross was exposed as working as a CO, he'd already be considered a legend by even those who continue to hate on the nikka.

i thought we loved this shyt for the music. if a nikka is putting out constant crack, how can you hate on that? shyt becomes borderline gay.

 

[kermit da hustla]

This shyt is starting to turn into Lil Wayne all over again..lol

wayne has never been as consistently dope as ross. hell, i don't think wayne has EVER been dope, but that's just me.

U ain't alone..lol...I don't think either one is legends..
