less than half a decade later most young listeners dont even know who he is. hell no

He is solely responsible for the emergence of the chicago drill scene.He gave the world, "Thot" although jojo was the first ive heard say it, chief brought it to the masses.
dude was 17 influencing grown men, had hood nikkas everywhere rocking trues and growing dreads
He also has 4 certified classics(of the 2010s)
Chief sosa be smokin on louuuuddd
discuss.

IMO in order to be a legend u have to be able to sit in a room with Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Nas, Jay-Z, etc and not look out of place
so no, he can't do that
dude even looks out of place with modern accepted legends like Kendrick, Cole, Lupe etc...
but he fits right in with the Soulja Boy, 6ix9ine, type crowd
Shortbus legend maybe

You’re leaving out two important variables that put him at the table
Impact
Time
His fans understand both and they’ll put him there. You think they understand Nas or Stevie? They can probably appreciate their contributions but they didn’t experience their art first hand...
Chief Keef is a hip hop legend and he’s one of the best artists to create..
I wouldn’t put Nas at the table with Stevie
w
why not? Nas is more profilic
stevie created great melodies but had someone else write lyrics to his melodies.
dumbass comment
Keef and his kind would get a D rating if emcee skills were an attribute on a report card
I don't care about impact or how popular breh is
Lmao
Different genres
If you wanted to have a general discussion around best musicians ever, I wouldn’t even have the two close.
Stevie might be one of the best overall musicians of all time regardless of genre
Nas isn’t in his class.
Two different genres indeed
but for Comparison Nas would be the equivalent in hiphop to what Stevie is to Rnb/Soul, someone revered and is respected by anyone with an ounce of sense and history of the culture
Keef ain't nowhere near a Nas and Jay level within his own damn genre.
and compared to Stevie's genre he would be somewhere between IceJJFish and Al B Sure status if we're keeping it a bean.
i don't think thats any excuseBelieve me my brother, I know where you’re coming from and I respect your perspective
But time doesn’t agree...
Most of these yougins don’t truly understand the impact illmatic had because they didn’t experience it (at all).
They experienced Untitled (their age) and had to learn past tense what Nas means to the culture.
Sosa is their Nas.
i don't think thats any excuse
if u want to be a fan of something and have a respected opinion u gotta do ur homework
thats like a random nikka saying something about Marvel or DC and never picked up a damn comic book in entire their life
same thing could be applied to any subject
if u don't know what ur talking about then their opinion is null
Yeah even tho a big amount of his music is ass cheeks he has no quality control but def do got some classics
Bro put drill at the forefront which in turn shined light on Chicago and all its issues, he brought a swagger and aesthetic to the game that is highly imitated, he brought flows to the game that are highly imitated. His presence changed the game period.
