It's finally that time PEOPLE!!! Instead of 4 we will put 5 on the mountain to be fair.

Things to take into account:
-Impact on the audio scene
-Audio Battle record
-Music in audio mic(also How the emcee faired with others of common level or higher level on the same track)
-Ability in lyrics, flow, delivery, charisma
-Battles outside of the battlefield as far as beefs and sorts
-Production
-Consistency

If there are more categories you believe belong in this thread point them out in your replies after you vote!

Doom, Ch3kk, Elite and Haze.

considering theres clearly no order, ill just explain why.

growth alone, Doom had mentioned it in Ch3kks latest KOTAM thread that theyve both grown expodentially.

Elite and Haze were also "homegrown" in a sense. Even tho Haze has been MIA lately, but they both grew into wild ass artists man.

but of todays crop, and maybe even the older generations, this is my list.


edit: just seen you said five...rofl.


the homie sammy, hes dope, diverse and he got barz for errybody (only didnt make my four due to be an outsider)

That moment you read the things to account for... but you don't do half of them.
Audio battle? Nope
Beefs? Nope
Other battles? Nope

Damn the list, that's 3 of 7 I airball

i think in regards to longevity, he's new but his contribution to the audio scene and impact is impeccable. i'm comfortable putting him on the mount

Okay, I have a top four (I think). That fifth slot tho ... ehhh. It's gonna be hard because I have 3 people in mind that deserve it. I want to grade on consistency and quality output not just talent, so .... hmmm... I need some time to do some research.

I'll come back.

i'm with self, this is a hard one. i think to me neek, doom and ch3kk are solidified, but he 4th and 5th head are difficult. LP for his recent impact. Then cats like iLL who aren't as active audio wise but go through his catalog and see what illness is. and can't forget Haze! i can't believe i overlooked this dude(get more active bro!). Nigma, Rhet, Self, Rutt, Elite....jeeezus....when u think about it, LA's audio scene is pretty stacked lol.

I got:
Neek
Ch33k
Doom
SwordedStylez
Tie between H4ZE/Elite/Mission... I say Haze has got a nose ahead but it's too close to kabosh the other two. Put all three of them up there on some Brady Bunch shit

Got to hold my hands up and say I don't know that much about the Audio scene across the entire history of the site, but I think we're really saying here about guys who have "legend status" or at least something that others should aspire to.

With that in mind I think you gotta say Cheeseburger Eddie purely for his grind, the guy was relentless.

Neek would be on there for me as well, Super Mario slaughterer, one of the best disses I've ever heard. Ruined Eternity in site battle.

Starts getting trickier from this point, Check and Doom are great quality but dunno if I'd say they have "legend status". I'd possibly go back and look at someone like Illa, since he dominated the early days of audio on the site. He was a pioneer so I'd put him up there.

I like the idea of having someone who made the switch from text to audio...Sammy and Rhetorical are the two guys who stand out here. Difficult really, as I think Rhet has huge potential but contribution on LA is limited, particularly on audio, whereas I think Sammy gives more overall. So I'd probably lean more towards him today than Rhet, but who knows in 6 months time.

The last slot I'd either give to one of Doom/Check or look at someone like Chincheck from back in the day who was unreal, or even Ja Vid who dropped some unbelievable stuff (can't remember the name of the song but it had 4 verses). Though can't remember if Ja was on here or more UL. Let's go Chincheck for the sake of argument.

Was going for a more current and active rushmore thats why I didn't include illa, swordedstylez and other's. I respect your opinion though lol wonder what more do i have to do to be considered "legend" maybe more time on the site who knows

I don't know some of those people. Never heard any of their tracks. Is any of it available to peep? Some people take tracks down after a long while and that makes it hard to really be as fair as possible. I'm not sure how it weighs out tho. I've never needed anybody to validate me. I've never been defined by one style and I can rap over anything, any swagger, any cadence, from South, to North. I'm fluent like water. If I can't compare people like that it really makes it hard. Especially on collabs with other MC's. Ch3kk Gets it in. Again I'm with the majority as long as people are elected have some music that can be played.
