I think most of the overpraise comes from old heads who don't really listen to new releases anymore, so there's a desperation for these joints to be better than they are. They never moved on from the artists they listened to in their youth. These the type of mfs who can't even fukk with Griselda and Marci because the drums ain't hard enough
At this point, it's better to think of these Legend Has It releases as lil victory laps for legacy artists. A way of showing appreciation for their past work. The albums are like vessels for them legends to get a lil bit of spotlight. The music just ain't good enough on its own. None of these shyts are going to be remembered in the future.
This is definitely a big factor. There's a lot of posters on here that were from SOHH and never really fund new musical taste, and a lot of them (no oiffense to some of ya'll) are the ones asking for folks to Pass the Mustard when 99% of the world has moved on to having a Spotify or Apple Music account and just streaming everything.
It really surprised me how many people on here just now heard about Roc Marci because they clicked on his thread here because they say Preemo produced it. Like, how can anyone even slightly tapped in not have heard of Roc Marci between 2010 and 2025?
Most of us here are old heads and uncs, but there are levels to the old head and unc game. There are for real some people that never listened to any new hip-hip after the 200's. fukk, even Havoc is one of them. Havoc and ALC had a livestream last year, and ALC was talking about modern era classics (he was implying the last 10-15 years) and Al named DS2, TPAB, Pinata, etc, and he asked Havoc what his favorite new era classic album is, and Havoc said Get Rich or Die Trying
Al was like "I meant like last 10 years" and Hav couldn't really name anything. He looked dumbfounded. It just seemed like Hav stopped listening to new shyt after the 2000's.
