Assumption. I think based on rappers who do know ICP that are from the hood that most people from the hood are impartial. It's usually just elitist try hards that hate them like that. Most others don't care. But, again, I don't take inductive reasoning seriously, let alone inductive guessing.

I only brought up the difference in respect they get vs pac cause you decided to bash pac in your defense of ICP and Batlord directly compared them.

The point of my comparisons were to show places where ICP excel over 2pac to solidify their place as hip hop and as legends in hip hop. However, I should know that you're just an elitist try hard that will never accept anything that you don't like. Especially something that was culturally hated when got in to hip hop. Like, you're the type of dude that tries to understand Coltrane to appear cultured rather than having a true appreciation or love for the art.

he's a hip hop legend based mostly on his commercial success at a time hip hop hadn't broken through as much in that realm. But he's not revered as a major contributor to the genre in terms of art or influence. He's exceptional strictly as a commerical success.

If you truly think that then you don't understand hip hop culture at all or his impact. Which is like, why am I even trying to take you seriously then?
