WHY IS WHAT?
Their songs are mostly goofy and revolve around debauchery or silly ideals. The “hip hop” community seems to dislike them (not that this matters but they don't seem to be taken seriously in that community.) JayZ is a gutter rat but he's respected as king gutter rat.
They were so moronic that when Bush was invading Iraq they penned a song (bashing Bush) wondering why Bush and Saddam didn't simply just hang out and do some cocaine and drink Courvoisier to solve their problems.
It's music for gutter rat morons. They did have a couple good songs, but legends? In their listeners minds.
