Depends how you look at it. I met a 12 yr old last year whos favorite rapper was eminem . His favorite song was rap God. He knew all of ems new shyt word for word, but never heard his 1st 3 albums.

Luda just stopped rapping cuz the movie money was too good,but if youve heard any of his freestyles or features in the last fews. He still sounds amazing actually even better than he used to
some artists legacy is set in stone. they don't need to link up with younger producer and put out 8 albums in 5 years and have a feature on an album every month
I'd say the WTT album era was the last Jay-Z album era that he wasn't looked at or promted as just a Legacy act.
@CrimsonTider What you think?
This is probably true. WTT era jay was still send as trendy and cool. Everything after that era is when he became a legacy act
In rap to me a legacy act is when there is no expectation for your project. Whether it’s good or bad quality wise. Or the sales subpar compared to your prime.
i said that to say this. Its still mad expectations for a Jay album artistically and sales wise.
Every older rapper can put out bullshyt and it don’t sell with no real discussion at all
Thats not the case with Jay Z
if jay drop next month and it sell 140k first week. He getting clowned. Not just in a forum the whole internet .If his album weak like Wayne he gonna dragged 3x worst. Legacy artists don’t have that type of pressure. Jay does
how u Jay Z da goat and only sell 100k

Probably around the time he went Samsung platinum with MCHG
I don't necessarily think a legacy artist can't sell. Often times the legacy status keeps them selling.
For Jay probably post-TBA. Definitely byBP3 MCHG.
Bey never really escaped it. Post-Lemonade.

Who got 3 multi plat albums as a legacy act?
