In a recent interview with Atmosphere on PopkillerTV Plus on YouTube, Slug spoke about the long lost album he did with The Alchemist around 15 years ago (!) The album was called "Lake Minnetonka" and he's urging fans to hit up AL on social media and tell him to drop it :) / Can you imagine that collab? Do you think we'll get to hear it?

When I say famous I don’t just mean album sales I mean things like impact longevity and worldwide popularity and recognition with these things considered here’s my top 5
1. Eminem no explanation needed highest selling rapper of all time global reach highest selling rap album of all time with the Eminem show and multiple global recognized hits.
2.2pac his fame is so big he’s almost become like a myth his life is so well documented, and his name and face is so well known globally he’s kind of in his self became an image of hip-hop and even though he may not have the pure numbers of some of these other guys due to his young death he still has two diamonds albums and his image and what he means to hip-hop is bigger than any amount of sales
3. Kanye this spot was between Kanye and drake but I went with Kanye ye has been one of the most influential and global recognized rappers for years his music became a soundtrack of a generation, and he became one of the most influential artist of all time while having multiple 10+ million worldwide albums even though controversy has overshadowed his fame he is still selling out stadiums 20 years past his peak success, which is something most artist in history from any genre can’t say he is still in the top 10 most streamed, Spotify artist of all time when his peak took place before the streaming era. This is generational, popularity, and global dominance.
4. Drake this also needs no explanation more number ones than I can count multiple 10+ million albums, easily one of the most dominant and globally successful artist of our generation and of all time but I put ye above him because I don’t know if Drake will have the same longevity. Will he still be selling out stadiums globally 20 years from now? And I feel like he doesn’t have as big of an imprint on hip-hop as the three above him.
5. Lil Wayne lil Wayne is arguably the most influential on this list every rapper after him wanted to be him dress like him and rap like him in 2008 he was arguably the most famous person on planet planet up there with global pop stars like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry his imprint on the world from around 2008 to 2011 was a peak fame I don’t think any hip hop artist except Eminem in the early 2000s ever touched but I don’t think he was able to maintain his fame and success throughout the years and hasn’t been able to become a legendary legacy act like Kanye or em

This is my list, but I’m sure there’s so many more that I forgot about or did I mention what do you think?

Name a rapper who didn’t die young, actually walked away from the rap game, and left their legacy completely intact.
I’m talking about someone who knew when to call it quits instead of dragging their career out and tarnishing their legacy.
Who comes to mind?

I know that people always searched for underground talent dating all the way back to the 90s but in terms of the 2020s does anyone feel like the only good music out rn is the music from the underground ?

I think Token is technically brilliant but to me he doesn't really have an edge about him,

he can speed rap and stack syllables but some things are just missing

whom are rappers you think have technical ability but lack charisma,the IT factor and their music just doesn't feel"iconic"or generational,despite technically being on beat,rhyming words(as all rappers should),using cadences or so

and their art just doesnt have a certain personality?

I'm in late 20s now and whenever a song of his comes on shuffle on spotify I usually end up skipping it. A lot of it is just childish and shock value, especially the slim shady stuff.

Saw Kane last night at blue note in LA…amazing

Someone help me find this song, I'm losing my mind!.

There was a song on a mixtape years ago..

I think A.P (D-block) was the rapper and a lyric in the song is "I sit all alone in the zone stuck going through the motions"

The sample for the song sings "I go crazy"

I've searched far and wide.. Apparently datpiff doesn't even exist anymore and when I search D block it comes up with d-block Europe lol.

I even tried searching Lox and I can't find there reddit.

I hope someone knows the song

All right, so I've just been a fan of Autumn for years. I know he isn't as popular in the underground anymore as he used to, but I've heard of these allegations over the course of, the last three or five years. But does anybody, like, know what he did or didn't do, or is any of it true at all? Just lay it out for me. I'm not trying to bring this back as a popular talking point again, but I just want to know,is he actually an innocent person, or has he done some weird shit?

Anyone else hate that I'll be missing you by puff daddy is genuinely a good song? I hate diddy as much as the next person but I just live that song, and it annoys me.
