- Thread starter DonavanBStrange
- Start date
yes he is... along with Public Enemy
but I do see where your coming from... it's sad that the artist that he is still fails to be recognized by an event that praises it's 'standout' artists in that genre
same goes for the VH1 Hip Hop Honours... alot of it was great and alot of it was pure garbage considering

They're classic to us, but not to the rap world.
And him having the "best flow" is a matter of opinion.
He's not the highest selling independent artist of all time, either.
Not rap, but Offspring's independent album "Smash" sold 11 million copies.
When Lil Jon was on TVT his shit was technically independent.
"TVT was recognized by Billboard for each of the five years from 2001 through 2006 as the largest US Independent Label with sales during this period surpassing $50 million a year."
Kings of Crunk and Crunk Juice are both 2x platinum, while on TVT.

your saying it like its all about how tech is viewed by our opinion, but ya know all those so called Legends are legends based off peoples opinions aswell
iv gone on youtube and seein comments everywhere saying tech is legend blah blah blah and i tend to listen to the people.. They aint saying that for nuthin
plus the homie rocked RTB and got props from all the rap legends of today (well most of them) how does that not make him somewhat of 1?

Ive been doin that every album for 9 years.... Its starting to look dim. I dont care what new circumstances you say, theyre too comfortable in THEY lane to make the sell out moves and decisions to get to the level everyone thinks they should be at. Ive learned to accept where they at, and embrace the way they do things. I think at this point, that LEGENDARY status (In the mainstream light) will happen very un-intentional if it does come.
I'm assuming from this post that NZTECHFAN deleted a post saying something about me not being pro-tech or what have you.
I'll have you know, I'm very Pro-Tech. I support the dude. I buy his albums. I'd go to a tour if it ever came around here.
But, as Swanee said, don't discredit other people for what they've accomplished.

At this moment in our present era, with the investment from those who bought out radio stations nationally, and financial ties to music acts played on those stations, it is not quite the same as the days when "the people" would move someone up the charts based on the best in the pool, as the pool has been controlled, restricted, and designed toward business over musical progression. I am not sure how much one would want to be in this not fully defined "mainstream" when an album can sell 3-4 million copies, and and the artist can be in debt to label still. Would it be worth it to cut your net worth in half to be called legend? There are already many of those legends
