Is Rakim And KRS-One More Relevant Than E-40 Is?

[mobbinfms]

That's how everything works whether you want to admit it or not.

No. IT's not.

 

[smokeurobinson]

The movie takes place in New York 80s.

So Tell Me When to Go, U & Dat, Snap Your Fingers, Choices and this new song with Quavo catapulted E-40 over Rakim and KRS? Did I forget any hits?

You think E-40's second wind, and the songs I've listed, are historically important for hip hop?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad 40 had success, but nothing he's done since that second wind is going to matter, whatsoever, for hip hop history.

Overall, 40 is a hip hop legend and a top three figure for Bay Area rap.

You forgot "Function" and all the features he's been on.

It's simple tho breh, close your eyes after you read this and imagine the hottest young rappers in the game right now that are from New York and ask yourself if they were more likely to work with E-40 or Rakim/KRS-One.

Once you open your eyes and answer that question im sure you'll see things my way.

Is the movie not based in 80s new York? how the hell is that a reach? They were supposed to have 02 music and shyt in a movie that takes place in the 80s?

Who gives a fukk about Eric Bellinger? i had to Google to see who that even was. You think Eric Bellinger is making an impact?

The Wayne shyt, that beats been sampled hella times, I'll give you that.

Ghostface is from that generation might as well have posted this.

I've already said multiple times they were important to people that age.

Em in the year 2000

"If I wasn't, then why would I say I am" was inspired by the song As The "Rhyme Goes On" by Eric B and Rakim.

You forgot "Function" and all the features he's been on.

It's simple tho breh, close your eyes after you read this and imagine the hottest young rappers in the game right now that are from New York and ask yourself if they were more likely to work with E-40 or Rakim/KRS-One.

Once you open your eyes and answer that question im sure you'll see things my way.

Thanks. I knew I was forgetting one and it was Function. I saw someone else posted the feature on IDFWU. (Personally I thought 40 stole the show).
That being said, these songs ultimately don't matter when it comes to hip hop history.
Unless 40 starts making groundbreaking classic material (which I don't see happening) - he's never going to surpass Rakim and KRS and he'll never come close.
Who young/hot rappers want on their songs is irrelevant to this discussion (unless of course classic groundbreaking material results from it - and that's not happening).

 

[C-Styles]

as much as i love rakim and krs one, 40 is more relevant than both combined. Hell, you can say Nas wasn't the second coming of Rakim, Nas made a name BIGGER than Rakim so every rapper out there RESPECTS and WORKS with Nas more than anything and you can say the same about Jay-Z over taking KRS-One. So now lets go back to 40. 40 been out as long as the ones i've mentioned and in 2019 he's still being asked for features, big shows and newer kids are bumping him.

It's not how you start it's how you finish and 40 water isn't done yet so there ya go


I know it hurts some cuz these guys are pioneers but to be honest they didn't have the legs for the long run. Still legends tho


but the key word here is RELEVANCE <-- which hurts a lot of old heads feelings (i'm an old head as well, 34) but if you look beyond your biased opinions, you'll see i wasn't lying

We're talking about relevancy and impact breh. If the youth care about 40 but don't care about or even know about Rakim then the case is closed for this topic right?

breh, wtf are you talking about. Paid in full is a movie that takes place in the new york 80s. In the new york 80s was rakim not the goat? Is the movie not called paid in full? Of course there is references. You're exposing yourself if anything. You post a song from the gta game which was on "playback radio", the old school east coast station. You post a song from 2k13, which jay-z curated the soundtrack, you post an Eminem song. I've said several times already they were important to people around in the 80s.

 

[Chris Cool]

No. IT's not.

Old people wouldn't say shyt like "y'all don't know how easy you got it" and shyt if it weren't true. It's hella shyt that was important to parents and grandparents that don't mean shyt to us. Life goes on.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Yep. KRS and Rakim could deliver a Refrigerator to your house tomorrow and your wife probably wouldn't recognize them and your kids damn sure wouldn't
.

e-40 could walk down my block right now and nobody would know who he is.

that's whats so funny about this. yall up here acting like e-40 is some big superstar or some chit.

I'd be pushing the narrative if he was still having an impact on the culture and influence on the youth. I used Spice 1 as an example because he's still lingering but nobody under 35 fukks with him therefore he's irrelevant.

He was just on Sway in the morning...you don't see me bloviating his relevance in the game because he's washed to me. 40 is relevant today.

spice 1 is not lingering. he randomly pops up and does an entire just like any other semi-retired rapper.

shoot, he went a whole decade without making any music whatsoever.

You're still on this Paid In Full movie thing as if the movie didnt come out in 02 so either u are slow or u are trolling. The movie didnt come out in the 80's. It came out in 02...meaning Rakims impact was influential enough to have a movie with a popular song from him in 02. Thats in response to u saying Rakim had 0 impact on the 00's. But u keep acting retarded talking like the movie came out in the 80's. Paid In Full the movie had zero impact on the 80's because it didnt exist. So you're playing dumb and trolling which is insulting my intelligence so I'm gonna end this here.

Plus I destroyed your bullshyt statement with plenty of receipts.


.

And the fact that u didnt know who Eric Bellinger was tells me your R&B playlist probably doesnt exist because u dont have a leg to lift up at 3 am. But that makes sense cuz most trolls are incels who get zero p*ssy.



You can have the last word.
