what rap legend could make it today?

[Eternal Tecate]

Nas

 

[atlbound]

de la soul

 

[ManBearPig]

its harder to put out classics today than back then


FACT!

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

Big Daddy Kane and Slick Rick

 

[Stress Welker]

MC Hammer

 

[notorious8562]

Are we talking sales or quality music? I think damn near every legend could put out quality music today, but sales is tough.

LL maybe with an updated I Need Love?

 

[NvrCMyNut]

MC Hammer

this

 

[the rhyme king]

none of them

 

[Capitol]

its harder to put out classics today than back then


FACT!

not necessarily.
if you were to remove the legends from the past there would be nothing to compare todays albums to. So you wouldn't hear people saying shyt like GKMC isn't a classic compared to Doggystyle, Chronic, Documentary etc

If an updated upgraded young LL came out today he'd be running hip-hop. Dude was the total package and he'd have the female support buying his albums.

haha I think the threadstarter meant relevance and doing numbers as well, though. It's harder to keep the attention of this generation than previous ones.
