A lot of people don't mention him when talking about legends, now that I think of it I've never heard anyone mention him:lupe:

Nah you mean they don't mention him with the best of all-time, they don't, but everyone mentions him as a legend. There's a big difference. nikkas don't mention Slick Rick really as one of the best ever but everyone knows he's a legend. Same with Method Man, Chuck D, Q-Tip, Posdanus, Black Thought, and a lot of other rappers that are considered legends but don't pop up in people's all-time 10 list for some reason.

Despite his fall from excellence since Big Bang, he's still a legend in my eyes. Busta brought something to rap that was so unique and he had quality albums.

:dahell: of course he's a legend, anyone who says otherwise is a retard

Hands down the best performer in hip hop ... his routines with spliff (one of the best hypemen btw) are ridiculous

Case in fukking point...

I know him being :flabbynsick: for the last few years is a running joke, but I consider him a legend. he's been in the game 20+ years and still can rap at a high level. he's got a very good catalogue of albums and guest appearances and has worked with damn near EVERYONE in the game.

I just
when and how was busta's status as a legend in queston.
especially when most of the music out now.
is some amalgamation of what he established the draw for.

I just think it's weird that when people bring up hip hop pioneers and legends you always hear the same names but never his.:manny:
