How is Slum Village not Legendary?

[Awesome Wells]

Cuz them nikkaz can’t rap. When Dilla has the best verses on all your songs you are pretty much wack AF.

Pretty much.

The production was why people f*cked with them. They never said anything worth rewinding on the albums, and Dilla definitely rapped better than them too, lol.

 

[NormanConnors]

Dilla T3 Baatin era for sure.

Wanna say the El Baatin T3 era legends for the Trinity album alone but thats IMO

They were on the way there at least

Opposite of facts, T3 and Baatin could spit/were slick lyrically as well. Dilla just happened to be better. All 3 of them were masters of the pocket/rocking a beat too

I don’t agree at all. Incredible beats with below average rhymes. Dilla verses made their wack/weak rhymes tolerable. Elzhi is not included in this conversation. “Masters of rocking a beat”. The other two were only masters of having beats their rhymes were not worthy of. IMO,

This. Their mastery of styles alone should be applauded, but neither are slouches lyrically either. They really made themselves additions to the songs and vibe which is why Volume 2 is so great.

You do realize most of their songs was “off the dome freestyles”. That’s what made them unique. Listen to “Players” and “Tell Me with D’Angelo” on Volume 2 closely.

It was all “off the top of the dome”.

Those definitely sounded like freestyles and that is a shyt excuse for garbage rhymes. I would shake my head in disgust song after song on both Fantastic albums. Like “Why is Dilla in a group with these two bums giving them this crack”

 

[BlackDiBiase]

I never knew they freestyled most of their records, I think they are dope though and their greatest record to me is 'Fall in Love' been playing it for damn near over 20 years!! Wow!!

Cult following but them nikkas ain’t legendary

What are you talking about? Dilla was the least lyrical in the group.

How is he not? That nikka is a lyrical genius

Elzhi isn’t included because he is an exceptional MC. T3 and Baatin could be replaced by anyone.

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Is this a serious inquiry? The original trio were subpar spitters at best saved by beats.
