It is actually is, more than you think. E-40 is really a non factor in hiphop

That alone would make you a casual fan.
He's not a non factor. He's regional. But if you're a core hip hop fan you are aware of the top regional rappers whether you like them or not.

People know who he is, but that's pretty much where it stops. I can't name one song by him other than Sprinkle Me and I think that's the same for most hip-hop heads.

That's what I'm saying though. I don't know about Sprinkle Me being his biggest song, maybe it was. But like him or not, how could you call yourself a hip hop fan and not know who he is?

Disagree, especially more new age people may only know of him because of Big Sean. It's not hard to imagine a hiphop fan that doesn't know E40 especially now a days. I don' think that makes anyone a casual, just explains how irrelevant E40 kinda is.

Missy has a double platinum album. She was consistently going platinum over a span of 8 years with two year gaps in between some of those albums. What that says is she had longevity and people who were invested enough in to cop her albums. She wasn't some flash in the pan artist who came and went. You can't put her in a category of ringtone rappers who had two hits at most and disappeared.

What Missy has done that Hammer didn't do is earn respect. Hammer spent most of his career addressing detractors. Missy spent most of hers with respect from her peers. Missy was never supposed to even be a rapper. Puffy convinced her because he thought she had something unique. You had MC Lyte putting her on a song before Missy even had a solo hit. She's done songs with Nas (including writing Aaliyah's hook on "You Won't See Me Tonight"), Q Tip, Slick Rick, and Jay Z to name a few. Snoop's 213 got production from her.

What doors did Missy open in Hip Hop? You could start with the videos. Then you could go to her giving artists like Drake a lane (singing and rapping over trippy production to). You still have artists like J. Cole and Drake sampling her songs.

Even mentioning Beyonce is funny because Beyonce's first feature as a solo artist was on Missy's second album.
