luniz, they are still young and they have been there in a major way. aint no one else can claim that, unfortunantly. like num said in uga , i got 5 on it is a super classic, only so many "super classics" in hip hop. everything u hear on the radio now is good for the moment, and might seem like they play it too much but it aint timeless. that joe buddens song that was getting played to death is already burnt out, they still play 5 on it at the clubs, nationwide.
and jt, if he gets his mind right, hes got hella potential as an underground and mainstream artist.
