He's dissed people forever, especially pop artists, who cares. lol The only people who care are people who take themselves or these artists too seriously. He's dissed the Backstreet Boys in a song, I don't care, still like Eminem. lol If you don't think he is a legend now, then by the time he officially retires or dies, he will be a legend. No one puts together a lyric like Eminem. He rides the beat like no one else. He is one of the greatest rappers ever. In terms of sales, he's the highest selling rapper of all time. I don't agree that longevity equals legend. Snoop has been around a long time, but he's a terrible rapper. Only his first album was any good, and his work with Dr. Dre on Chronic, everything since has been garbage. He will be remembered as being around for a long time, featuring on pop songs, and smoking pot. Dr. Dre will be remembered as a great producer, average rapper, and the man that gave Eminem a chance. LL Cool J is a legend. Rakim is a legend. KRS One is a legend.
