What Is Del the Funky Homosapien's place In Hip-hop?

[PhonZhi]

If dude died today how big would that be in hip-hop? How many pages would that thread do here on the coli?

If you went out and asked 50 random ppl if they ever heard of Del, how many would say yes?

Is he like the most well-respected "unknown" underground rapper?

One of the Greatest underground Emcees, leader of one of the greatest emcee collective Hieroglyphics and one of the independent giant's. Bay Area Finest

 

[TransJenner]

Nowhere tbh

Dude's place is solidified, even its the mainstream doesn't recognize him. Ill MC that has had his own unique style and approach to the game. Made some truly great solo and great material. He and Hiero showed cats how to get underground money and were among the first to take advantage of the internet for marketing, merchandise, and general audience building. Deltron 3030 had its moment and still holds up. Then the Gorillaz thing. Yeah, Del has made some major contributions. He's one of my favorite artists. salute to him.

Legend

Hiero put in work but truth be told I hardly like any of their stuff. The Bay has always been the biggest perpetrator of that "REAL HIP HOP rappitty rap" backpack shyt....even moreso than New York.

Yeah I was about to say yes had alot more longevity I feel cause of Deltron 3030 and Gorillaz out of any other member of Hiero.

The biggest recent death in hip hop was Prodigy.
Followed by Phife Dawg and Sean Price.
Del would be a distant 4th unfortunately

How many pages would that thread do here on the coli?

Probably 5-6

If you went out and asked 50 random ppl if they ever heard of Del, how many would say yes?

That's gonna depend on where you pull the random 50 people from.
If you went somewhere in Maine, unless the breh @Juggalo Fred was one of the random 50 , I wouldn't expect anyone to know him.

Del is a legend but he's not entirely wrong

Still, 3030 and everything before it is
