None of them are legends in my eyes, but knowing how the rap game works, in 10-20 years they will all be looked on as legends.
If these rappers died today which ones would be considered legends?

They've all been successful. They all would be considered legends if they died.

Kanye's a legend just off his production. 50 shouldn't be considered one, but his impact he had with his debut plus his business mind makes his casemore acceptable, as well as the career slaughter. T.I. will probably go down as one of the most respected artists in the South; maybe not a legend, but verywell known. Wayne will probably be considered a legend off hype and popularity, as well as having a massive catalog.

All of them. 50 and Wayne achieved a level of popularity in Hip-Hop that only Em has seen. Kanye is arguably the most important hip-hop figure of this decade.TI actually has the best catalogue of the bunch imo.

word. you dudes couldn't have assessed it any worse.Originally Posted by NikeFlightposite
Both of you need help.
- 50 is the king of album sales, shut down careers, and is pretty much the biggest boss that you've seen thus far
- Wayne has been relevant in hip hop for 10+ years during the era some thought he's was at his worst, he's gotten the most acclaim and pretty much dominated. sure a lot of older heads dont think he's goat status, but think about when we are too old for our opinions to be relevant, wayne is gonna be on jay status to this younger generation regardless if yall wanna believe it or not, and thats crazy cuz he even served my younger hip hop listening days well. like if your grandpops came out of the woodworks sayin jay z aint !%+#. grandmaster flash is the GOAT, you would look at him and like N get yo old %!% outta here with that nostalgic bs.
- kanye revolutionized hip hop in a sense. rapper + producer and very successful in both. i dont think he's much of anything as a rapper, but as an artist as a whole, there's no denying he can make some good music
- T.I. is the only one I'd say shouldn't be in there. I feel he's been the most consistent, but he doesnt have any type of super dynamic to put him up with the greats

50 and Ye imo.
50 went diamond and had one of the biggest Hype moments in Hip Hop history b4 his album actually dropped.
In the Club is probably the biggest Hip Hop record EVER. PERIOD.
Lil Wayne 2 me isn't all that great, I think he benefits from being in a dumbed down generation. Im not even an old head or nothing(20 yrs young btw)but iremember when Gangsta Rappers had some type of Vocab. Now its like u can say anything as long as it rhymes. I'll admit his flow can be addictive but ithink he's drastically over hyped, but when he goes in he really does go in.
However he put out alot of BS pre-Carter material(Alot of these dudes think he only put out the three Carter Albums) And has yet to drop a practicallyUniversally Agreed Classic.
Ye made an unprecedented transition from producer to rapper, once known for his production to dropping some of the hottest quotables in Hip Hop to the pointthat we call him a rapper and almost forget that he can produce. And Although i may not agree with his recent attempt (stick to Rapping Ye) i admire hisability to be a risk taker and attempt, if not achieve innovation.
TI wll to be honest idk too much of his material. I've had some TI songs that I loved but none that i've really hated, he has made some real ill tracksand seems to be one of the mre charismatic individuals in Hip Hop as of right now.
General public wise i think Wayne gets it right now, i mean he just goes unscathed through everything
Kisses a man, PASS. (Now tell me if there was a pic of Jigga and Dame in the same position or 50 and Banks what the outcome would be)
Lip Ring, PASS.
Getting Punked in LA 4 being in a Crip hood, PASS. (Say he did that to Snoop in NO, Snoop's career might never be the same)
IDK what it is but it seems like he just gets the benefit of the doubt on everything. its actually pretty sad to see.

No matter what anyone says, 50 left his imprint on the game. You can't ignore someone who pushed as many recordsa as he did this decade, probably secondmost behind Em. He changed +%++, made the game literally a game. That's a legend whether you like it or not.

Anybody who leaves TI out is biased towards the south. If he was a northern rapper with a catalog like that you'd be slobbin him. Not to mention, he'sthe best pure rapper of the 4.

All of them, but TI (nothing to do with skill) will be more of a southern legend never respected on the same level

You picked the 4 of the most popular noise makers in the industry. ALL of them would be legends by popular demand. I don't think any of them should be onlegend status, but I know that legend title would be streaming the air waves if any of them were to meet their maker.

Man if Wayne, lord forbid, was to die today. Dude would reach Tupac/ Cobain status. Dude is so young, and such an interesting character. Same with Kayne.
...T.I. & 50 will probably be regarded as legends. But not on the same level as Wayne & Ye, characters like that don't come around too often.
