Or he was just giving a throwaway compliment simply because he was asked for any kind of opinion and that's the only thing he could be assed to say. I mean Donald Trump gives compliments to all kinds of people he's turned on. Doesn't mean ****.

When they are getting called legends by notable hip hop publications and figures like Ebro I think that counts as respect. They aren't completely embraced or as loved but they are absolutely respected especially in the newer generation. People started to notice how long they've stayed, how much they pay their dues and the grind they've had.

You'd know more about hip hop publications than I would and if other rappers are saying **** then great. I think the amount of work they put into building their empire does deserve respect though. I mean they objectively worked their ****ing asses off to be where they are. Even if you think they don't put effort into their music they absolutely did put an insane amount of effort into their career.
