Better artist: E-40 or Missy Elliott?

[yseJ]

Nobody said she was purely hip-hop. She is hip-hop but she obviously blends genres. She makes better music than E-40 according to most though.

But you likened comparing her and E-40 to comparing Justin Bieber and RATM, which was retarded.

And you said the question was insulting to E-40 and that he has 5 albums better than anything she made. And to that I say look at the scoreboard.

earl has at least 5 better hip hop albums than her best, yeah.

Would take any of these over a Missy Elliot album, I like Supa Dupa Fly though.

As far as "Hip Hop" goes though E-40 raps circles around Missy Elliott, I'm not surprised the poll is the way it is because this thread is not about who's a better "rapper".

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Missy Elliott was at her best behind the scenes.

E-40 as an artists is better.

Killing shyt lol

Yea he had some hits that got radio play that people listened too

Then u forgot about em

Like the rest of the country

You ny nikkas are delusional but I don't blame you. You live in a hater town,that went hard downplaying other regions in fear of change and/or being wiped out and over took. Well too bad,it happened away and ny will NEVER be back in control. They will forever be emulating the south just to stay getting money. They played you. 400 degreez was hotter than any nas album. Ha was so hot that multi plat ny Mc Jay had to hop on it. And multi plat posse from ny RR had to tour with the crew that juve was the star of. You ny nikkas are lost

So I'm trolling because I didn't get his exact years correct. I actually did him a favor by saying 93-97 when actually his success happen from 95-98. You arguing date techicalities and not the actually point that all his success minus one exception happen almost 20 years in the first years of his career

But that's not your point. You're moving goalposts. Originally you said most people outside the west coast didn't know who he was and that he didn't have a song that was big enough to capture attention nationwide. But now I've shown you that he's had three gold albums and a platinum album. I've also shown you that he had a song that charted as high as #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Billboard is always a little shaky to me, but that proves the song was getting burn nationwide.

So now your argument is well he was successful for a few years in the 90s and then again in 2006. So what? Most rappers have a period where they are most successful, most don't pop up a second time almost a decade later.

You still owe us that list of 100 rappers more successful than 40 based on sales.

Or you could just admit you didn't really know what you were talking about.

You really are an idiot and a troll, it's very clear he mentioned sales to justify saying he was more than just a small time regional artist, he went platinum and gold. He wasn't bringing up sales to talk about quality but as a response to the allegation he was merely a small time local artist nobody knew.

It ain't about regions

Or a city

Bias


Its about 1 man (e 40)

Being garbage in some ppls eyes outside the bay

And btw 400 degrees is a regional classic

Highly Doubt it had cross over appeal on the east or west

70% of albums that are called classics are regional

The other 30% have cross over appeal everywhere, like

The chronic
The blueprint
Doggy style
All eyez on me
Ready 2 die
Life after death
36 chambers
Death certificate


And of course there's others

But its a short list

And its short for a reason

i can dig the 70% theory. Half the albums you named proved my point tho. How all those albums (from the east and west) get the cross over pass, but an album with comparable sells, singles, and impact out the south is regional

you really think nikkas riding around the south bumpin 36 Chambers and Ready to Die like that?

whatever tho

There are very few artist/songs/albums that were truly nationwide during that "regional" period from like 92-98. By truly nationwide I mean that they got played on daytime "urban" radio everywhere.
