I think that just the fact he's been rapping for such a long time, made his own label and clothing line, and has become an icon of hip-hop, makes him eligible for the fame. I think I will vote yes, but I can't say he's one of my favorites. He has just been in it so long, sold so many records and made so much out of nothing that that alone thrusts him into the spotlight, and hip hop along with it.
