Naw, you right that is exactly what would happen and its a goddamn shame. People like
Otis Boykin are REAL legends. He invented 25 electronic devices including the control unit for the pacemaker (yea he gave mfs wit no heart a way to keep living, imagine that).
I mean I respect the real legends of music too- its coo to show respect to them and appreciate what they did rap or street wise (getting beat down at your hotel room over not being legit don't qualify- maybe you have selective memory?). But at the end of the day a rapper is just somebody who usually talk too goddamn much fm.
When you're dead and gone what do you want to be remembered for? Drug addiction? Being a manchild? Those are just as forgettable as some Dr. Seuss rhymes or being a repetitive wannabe. The world is much bigger than the spec of space each of us take up.
