About Future Hip Hop Legends

While no Hall of Fame is a perfect encapsulation of the subject it honors, it can serve as a sturdy foundation for discussing the greatest of all-time. As Hip Hop celebrates its 50th birthday, the most impactful cultural movement since the 1980s still doesn't have a proper set of Hall of Famers that represent the genre's most important and impactful artists.

Because of funding and trademark issues, a physical museum with the "Hip Hop Hall of Fame" moniker may never come to fruition, but the need to create a canon for hip hop remains vital because it will provide a reference point for future generations to understand the roots and evolution of the genre. It will also give hip hop artists the recognition they deserve for their contributions to music and culture.

Future Hip Hop Legends serves as a platform to discuss and discover the most important hip hop artists of the past, present, and future, setting the stage for the inevitable institution that will immortalize them.

He should be in it thanks to his introspective lyrics, his help in bringing up and coming smaller hip hop artists and influencing rap as we are seeing it today and also his help making rap the biggest it has ever been in the 2010's.

Controversial but he is one of the pillars of Hip-hop. Where would we be without the Zulu nation influence.

If you don't know about what this guy did, look into it, I don't think this is the platform to be talking about it though. This is for the music, the lifestyle, and the culture. Props to KRS for blowing all of this open though, he's the most Hip-hop person you'll ever meet
