Yeah, if your name is spotifystreamingbot.exe

well i think don't think someone not "transcending their field" is the same thing as being relegated to cult status

but very random example is legendary country or blues artists like Buck Owens or John Lee Hooker. sorry for the dust. genres where they have their own wholly contained world where the legend can exist. if a legend has to transcend their field, then there are tons of entire fields (maybe more esoteric) that can't have any legends at all.

side note im not really a big fan of trying to assign some specific universal criteria to someone being a "legend". to me a legend is what it says in the dictionary, not some specific criteria with a set amount of classics or notoriety on a specific level. kinda same with the word classic

All I see is white mediocrity

aight yea draco is my second fav for sure

while i'm thinking about future bm2 is so underrated it's ridiculous

BPD music

i still haven't listened to that fiona apple album lol

what on S/T is better than Solo please let me know

Fiona Apple's next album will be titled "/w_600/FIONAAPPLECOVER.jpg".

her first three are good tho!

Future still drops gems ofc his PRlME was and always will be Monster - DS2

you had to be there

whole lotta red a masterpiece

we done already established feds did a sweep's greatness on the last page b

i'm here for it

he relied on controversy for a significant portion of his come up so i guess it was forced but i feel like the label pushed the controversial stuff more but the serious songs did well too. in terms of the manufactured pop star idea, i think that the label wanted him to be more like marilyn manson or other controversial artists at the time instead of a pop/rap artist. this all speculation though

It’s been so long I would assume he’d have a few scrapped concepts by now. Of course I hope I’m wrong

great album! overrated though ngl

Weren't the serious songs largely controversial as well?

if fetty wap had blown 2016-17 rather than 2014-15 he’d still be a huge figure in the game

Drake and Pusha T are both liars

Yes I agree overall

What I’m trying to say is: “legend” undefined (without qualifier) in this context to me means “musical legend”. If the “field” (per dictionary example) is music, then no E-40 is not a legend (but Jay Z is); I’d the field is “Rap legend” or “Bay Area legend”, then yes E-40 is a legend

Because the thread is music hot takes and not Rap hot takes, I just don’t see how E-40 can be considered a legend in the field of music

That Lana album was so grossly overrated lmao

her debut is still her peak

Sahbabii peaked with SANDAS but hasn't made any effort to develop his sound since

Im starting to think future was only cool in 2015. His music dont hit at all anymore unless he do HNDRXX
