It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for El-P, because I would say he's in the same boat as Ace, but with Run the Jewels he's broken into the mainstream so it's a possibility that he could be considered a legend in the eyes of the greater public in the future. He's definitely got all the qualifiers.
