6pac I have to add that it inspired all kinda drill movements in Europe from The UK, France, Sweden, Spain, etc.
Crazy full circle moment. Shout out to all those kids dead or in prison from that wave though.
Even tho they never made it into top tier superstar status, I probably have to put Keef and Big Soulja on the Mt. Rushmore of most influential to the recent generation in hip hop
Three 6 is another goat. Some of the greatest production of all times.
what u talking bout b.
Supreme Clientele's production style became envogue, which basically influenced Jay-Z into making Blueprint, which in turn gave rise to Kanye West...and Kanye West produced da ENTIRE Be album.
It's wild how Mannie and Three 6 was making the precursor to trap music in the 90's.
Arguably Timbo too.
You caught up in the moment...
they did it all before it became mainstream everywhere else.
they made so many beats they sample their own beats.
one of the classics
lil b too.
people don’t wanna admit it but everyone is lil b’s son.
Huge 36 fan and I love to see love for them, so sorry to be this guy. But credit starts with Spanish Fly, then Squeeky and Zirk (both of which 36 blatantly ripped off their early works). 36 eventually morphed into their own style, but they started off basically copying the OGs. But one thing I never expected was Juicy being this prolific and relevant now. That's 30 years straight, insane.
Man I remember the first time I ever heard “don’t like”.
I was at a Gucci show, this was before Gucci was like he is now. It was straight grime time in there.
That song was hard af, especially hearing it through some club sound system that cost a couple hundred grand. I remember everyone going ham and not knowing who the hell Chief Keef was.
Gucci and waka shows used to be crazy as hell too. Waka is a genuinely nice dude, he’d be running through the crowd taking pics and asking to hit your weed.
I remember being at a HS basketball game and "Love Sosa" came on, maaaaaaaan those kids were legit in a trance. That song had those kids in spiritual bondage. I never seen a group of kids respond to a song like that in unison.
Keith was the voice of the teenagers during his peak.
Durk has been killing it lately
I feel like zip and a double cup was the birth of the juicy j we have today, that tape and everything he did with lex Luger was hard af.
he’s been in the game so long there is like 5 different juicy j’s.
there was old school memphis juicy, satanic heroin juicy, tear da club up juicy, then came stay high Grammy juicy, now we got party juicy but he’s slowly branching off into Taylor gang old man preaching to the broke boys juicy.
Unlike many old-heads, Juicy J was able to reinvent himself and his music to be more in-tune with the modern style. (At the time)
People doing videos in their grandma's kitchen
Solidified the ad lib and aggression centered style started with dudes like Gucci, Ross and Lil B; directly birthed styles of people like Carti
This song and that whole movement is what birthed commonplace phrases like thot, opps, savage, lacking/no lacking
Subconsciously ended all conscious/laid back/whatever u wanna call it music because now everyone has to have some type of 'hood'/street edge to them, since that record came out and that became what people looked at as representation of the youth (which guides everything in rap music)...Even *****s like Drake and Childish Gambino have gun bars. R&B singers have to be tough too.
Also probably the most direct father of mumble rap or whatever you wanna call it at this point; aside from Wayne, Future and Thug.
so “laid back/conscious” means you’re not edgy or street? WTF
Ya’ll gotta stop equating hood/street to equaling tough...
LOOK AT YALL FAVORITE ARTIST, Turkey69. Did he look street to you???
Part of me wants to say that Gucci/Flocka/etc. whoever u have in mind didn't kill off the "soft rappers" like Keef kinda did
But then I remember Flockavelli directing influencing songs like HAM and Illest MF Alive. So IDK, you gotta point but I still think Keef kinda shifted the entire zeitgeist at once to everyone having to have some aspect of that energy in their raps, while no artist from the south that you can bring up really did that. Gucci in 06-08 didn't change what Ye, early Drake or Lupe was doing.
Keef is definitely a direct Flocka/Gucci spawn tho lol.
Bruh it never fails. You will find a way to bring that ***** up no matter what.
Only *****s who be in the rap thread in Music will understand why this is so funny
Man relax.
“Soft rappers” but you have Drake, Gunna and his Chanel purse, 69 with rainbow hair, Famous Dex and his anorexic body and purple hair?
dudes are 100000000000x softer nowadays. Bruh, you a funny character.
“killed off soft rappers”..... when you got cats like Hoodrich Pablo Juan posting videos after getting his lunch money taken. Go on a lot of y’all new age rapper IGs and they crying or recording themselves after getting beat up.....
“Soft”
like what’s you’re definition of soft? Pleaseeeeee show me all
The soft rappers from past and present. And show me which rappers are the tough guys
