[Newportbox]

Imagine throwing dirt on KRS & Rakim?

E-40 fans stay trying the hardest.

90s rappers looked up to 80s rappers
00s rappers looked up to 90s rappers
10s rappers looked up to 00s and early 10s rappers.

Y'all so in your feeling about the shyt that nikkas can't even be real.

What the hell does any of that have to do with you or anyone else being stupid enough to listen to an opinion on hip-hop given by somebody who knows nothing about the importance of two of the most titanic figures of the culture?

You're so desperate to use being older as a negative that you'll happily claim that somebody who is clearly ignorant on a subject matter should be given the time of day just because they're younger. In this case, that subject matter being hip-hop.

Newsflash for you Peter Pan ass nikkas.......Everything in existence gets older. That's what the fukk time does to things.

 

[Damnshow]

These are totally bad examples

Rakim ain't making no damn music anymore, for a while. KRS.....I don't know what he's doing these days other than defending wack MC's using writers and defending pedophiles

What's the purpose of this thread? Salute E-40's longevity? Bay Area never had rappers that match lyrical ability of New York all time great rappers Imagine comparing E-40 or Too Short body of work to KRS or Rakim

this is the worst song I've heard all year.

This sounds more like an interlude type shyt though

 

[KingJudah2]

Cheap dap shyt.

They're legends no doubt, but their importance was to rappers of the 90s. They not on no Michael Jackson shyt, no 2pac shyt, no biggie shyt. They haven't transcended their era. Only 90s rappers put them in high regard. This not my opinion, I'm being real. nikkas never talked about them growing up, they important to our dads and shyt, nikkas in they 50s. You're so i expect you to think this shyt is blasphemous but.

40 got fans from nikkas in they 50s to nikkas in they teens. That's my point.

you're an idiot. If you want to be a great rapper, you'll study everyone from Grandmaster Caz, to Rakim, to Nelly, to muthafukking Scarface, to D4L. Because you a student of the game.

Lotta young boys who actually rap, know and study Rakim. You sound like a moron.

E-40 is garbage btw. I respect him for his style and hustle he brings from the bay, and his wave. But that nikka trash.

Your favorite rappers admire 40 tho.

they respect 40

not admire 40

They admire Rakim

Kool G rap

big difference

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

so a artist adapting to the times is what you hate? not doing so is keeping it pure to you?

rakim & KRS have both adapted to the times in numerous eras.

theres a difference between adapting and being an old man wave-riding. A BIG DIFFERENCE.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

they respect 40

not admire 40

They admire Rakim

Kool G rap

big difference

So why do guys like RZA and Ghostface have 40 on their songs? You can respect someone without getting them on your album.

Name a region where one of it's most respected rappers hasn't had 40 on their shyt.

nikkas admire Rakim.. Kool G Rap... and took elements of they style.


nikkas respect 40

Nobody trying to rap like that nikka, because as a rapper he's garbage.

So if he's garbage as a rapper, why do respected rappers from your city have him on their album? People respect Ice-T and Master P but nobody putting them on their album post 1999 yet E-40 still getting featured at the age of 52.

How is this hate? When did I say that?

I get it, you want E-40 to have his props. I get it.

"In it's purest form" is some opinionated shyt that doesn't even exist. That's the problem with all of you. You guys think your opinion is facts.

It's not really.

You just don't want to admit some rappers represent different things. It's just a way to keep this argument going.

I already said in a commercial market, E-40 is more relevant. But you cannot talk 80's hip-hop music without the other two. They are cemented.

Yeah
This passive aggressive thread is making me laugh

Some sucka ass fanboy shyt, downplaying legendary rapper's accomplishments in order to prop up his fav rapper

All he had to do was drop some e-40 songs from the 2019 and salute the man still making music after all these years.

But of course he have to be another ignorant "I prefer wack lyrical content" fanboy. "Bu bu but nobody listens to Rakim in 2019 . How come none of these lame rappers asking Rakim or KRS for a feature? "

I think I heard rapper snow on that wack ass daddy yankee song in 2019....I guess he also more relevant than Rakim in 2019, yadadamean?

Nah, the debate was who is more relevant in 2019 and as you can see with the poll above, plenty of people really believe Rakim and KRS are more relevant in 2019 than E-40 is
