Talib Kweli Names 7 Artists From This Era Who Will Become Legends

[Shadow King]

RTJ is disqualified for obvious reasons

he said Rapsody so he can get free beats from 9th Wonder, no one agrees.

as of now Joey Badass will be remembered.....not for being a Legend tho.

Anderson Paak & Chance are way to early to call.

What you mean breh?

 

[The G.O.D II]

Typical pandering to hoteps. You won't get a feature on any of those artist album

 

[The Mad Titan]

Kendrick and Chance

 

[EndDomination]

that's your opinion....ain't no fact...

I think it's pretty well recognised that Food and Liquor and The Cool are classic albums.
Tetsu & Youth and Food and Liquor II certainly aren't, but they are both fantastic albums.

 

[EndDomination]

thoughts?

I have to say no for Run the Jewels simply because I'm a pretty well-versed hip-hop fan and I've never heard of the group, though I listen to quite a bit of Killer Mike.
The rest certainly are on their way to legendary status, particularly Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Joey Badass and Chance. Rapsody could be, but her music doesn't get the respect it deserves, and Anderson .Paak is fantastic, but doesn't have much of a body of work, from what I know.
Edit: I just looked it up and apparently he has 4 albums and 4 EPs, which I'll have to give a listen.

too who??.........they get alot of acclaim now because of cac websites like complex etc....but I don't consider those albums classic....the lyricism on both albums was nice....the over all production however on both of them was very bland...I wont even bring up Testu & Youth....that was just horrible....

 

[KangCraSS]

How could he not mention the gawd Troy Ave for restoring the feeling ?

[Big Daddy]

I've only heard of two rappers on that list, Cole and Kendrick, and something tells me that's a good thing, given the state of today's hip hop and what's considered "hot".

 

[Moose_Greyjoy]

Only artist that tran

RTJ straight crakkka shyt


Joey already washed

how the hell is RTJ straight cracka shyt? Killer Mike is one of the only pro black artist we got

 

[NZA]

kendrick and maybe cole. that's it. i dont even know who the hell paak is and rapsody is a good mc but she has no relevance to a lot of people so she cant be a legend

 

[Ayo]

Drake probably going to drop a few passive aggressive subliminals because of this list.

Might even sing it.

 

[vaudevillevillain]

I need some of what he droopin off

 

[ManBearPig]

No Mac Miller?

And El-P is already a legend
