Im Trying To Ascertain What Dudes Like Jadakiss, Fat Joe And Busta Rhymes Have Done To be Considered "Legends" Whats Their Contributions To Hip Hop?

[Cladyclad]

Busta stamped based on personality and his over the top videos. He was kind of a pioneer in that regard


i like Jada and Joe so I won’t belittle them

we at a point where everyone is a legend now because of the internet. If you fell off back In the day. It was over. Now dudes like Uncle Murda have a successful 20 year career.

so I only go by icons. And none of those guys you mentioned are icons imo

30 is definitely old enough to have seen busta rhymes/the lox/fat joe breh cut it out he definitely was tryna stir shyt up with this thread but being 30 isn't the rebuttal you think it is


Someone born in early to mid 90s was around to hear those guys biggest hits and form an opinion

OP must be on bath salts

Nah, he just ate some bad pinky mice

Joe I can understand because I'm from NY and never felt him like that outside of Don Cartegena. He knows how to stay relevant after all these years though so

Kiss don't got classic LPs but he been on several classic tracks and albums that span decades, plus his mixtape game is one of the best

Busta? Even people that don't listen to rap like that know his biggest joints lol

Uncle Murda wouldn't mention his own name alongside Jadakiss though. What are we TALKING ABOUT?

Yall can’t be serious

All 3 of them have long careers that span decades and for a large majority of it, put out great albums/hit records.

Busta has had some of the most innovative music videos from the late 90s, not to mention his earleir works with A Tribe Called Quest. Numerous hits.

Joe's early works as part of the DITC. Putting Big Pun on, having numerous hits.

Jadakiss, regarded by many of his peers as having one of the best pens in the game. LOX the first people to get off Bad Boy with no issues, again numerous hits.

But you know what's crazy?? Even tho kiss is a better rapper fat joe discography is actually better than his.

Fat joe rhymes are super mid but alot of his old albums are good. Plus some of them TS nikkas could spit too

No, Jadakiss' discography is hands down better than Joe's.

These nikkas do NOT have numerous hits and none of this answers my question. nikka said career lasting decades lol These nikkas were finished by the late 2000s. Busta has the best argument here, but the other two have done nothing to be rightfully called legends.

1. Jadakiss is the East Coast Bun B….
He’s still killing guest appearances. Busta too.


2. Fat Joe managed to be relevant in at least 5-6 eras since 1993. Him putting on Big Pun alone is a big contribution off of GP.

The Spanish cats needed their own Biggie and they got it.

All 3 of those cats didn’t hate on the South back then either and swallowed their pride and actually went to where the business was booming. Joe got a bunch of features from Lil Wayne and was on those Khaled albums.

Does anyone criticize their legends in Rock or Jazz.

Hip Hop is the only genre where we have that “What have u done for me lately” mentality.

Joe still manages to put out music independently…


Their legends to me in the NYC Hall of Fame.

My point is years from now people may call him a legend based off his wrap ups

and Jada name should not mention next to jay or X
