Without that enforced exposure I don't know that I'd ever have cared. Don't assume your first impressions will be your final impressions. ICP are really a group a lot of people have to get used to. They just a "unique sound pallet".
that reminds me of how I had to get accustomed to Coltrane. Except without the feeling that I'm doing it to try to appreciate something more cultured.

The best I can find is here.

It was on Halloween of 2009 and they brought up ICP because it's Halloween.

If Rick the ruler came out today it would hardly make a ripple. That's just the gods honest truth.
If somebody came out with the same story telling and the same aesthetic I believe they could get a cult following. We have nostalgia artists out the ass. Joey Bada$$ started out as one and Villain Park is also one.

According to Faygoluvers Jay Z just praised their marketing and longevity which sounds like him just trying to be nice cause he has no reason to be a dick to them. I do not think that hip hop has come to respect ICP. I don't know anything about Xquire but Danny Brown is his own kind of lovable low class thing that I don't think really represents anyone's opinion but his own.

It's still respect.

More like a political compliment that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

When Jay-Z, the guy that prides himself in his business shows respect for your marketing and how long your career has lasted it's definitely respect. He didn't have to say ****. Why would he care about staying on good terms with ICP?

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.

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 ****.

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.

I've just noticed opinions of ICP changing from complete hate to a more, "I respect what they do but it's not for me" attitude in the past 5 years.

Edit: It's becoming less taboo to appreciate them than it used to be. I think it's because hip hop is finally becoming a lot more accepting of different ideas and much more experimental than it used to be. Or maybe because in comparison to Lil Pump hip hop heads have found a new respect for them. I don't know.
