His impact is rock solid, what I mean is he’s already inspired thousands, hundreds of thousands and soon millions. He got a whole wolf pack following him fr, 🐶 🐶 🖤

[@OrbitScribblez]

Kenny is one of the most original artist out man he needs more love definitely seeing him on a level like Kid Cudi one day

[@ChristianAristide]

He gonna be better than Cudi in my opinion. He already a better rapper

[@OrbitScribblez]

@@ChristianAristide I meant like fame wise

[@ChristianAristide]

@@OrbitScribblez I'd hope he has more fame than Cudi because his sound is def more marketable and consistent than Cudi's. He has an IT factor that Cudi didn't in my opinion. I get that same feeling I get when I hear early Kendrick and think damn this guy is a star.

[@antigreyt]

@@ChristianAristide fr I think he's got the potential to be an all time great, so much variety in cadences, flows and genre blending production, not to mention the bars

[@ChristianAristide]

@@antigreyt Mos definitely

[@HimieFreeman]

Out of artists consistently putting out records atm, this is the best rapper in the world

[@toxicbreez4277]

He just started lol. Hes definitely got goat potential tho, just too soon for people to accept that, because today people judge an artists impact on hit records.. Which is corny for real, but that's just how it is in this era. Hopefully mfs finally realize that the wackest rapper In the world can have more hits than the most authentic original artists today due to selling out to the airways and commercial shit. Kenny gonna be an independent powerhouse watch. He's good enough to not have to rely on signing under somebody else, who's gonna eat off his work, just for a l publicity smh.. Artists are wising up and becoming the business men for themselves now rather than have a middle man who gets a piece

[@iamjshep3]

@@toxicbreez4277 Kenny ain’t just start. He started rapping when he was like 14. He got 10+ years under his belt, he just turned 27 I believe. But in terms of gaining traction, you could say he’s just now gaining an audience. But in terms of rapping/making music, bro been doing it for a decade+ now. And he’s signed with RCA Records as well. He’s not independent. But he fasho gone be a GOAT if he can get as big as a mainstream artist.

[@matthewa2095]

@Tack Draas no he isn't. He's great but not the greatest lmao. There's a lot of better Atlanta rappers(not saying Kenny is bad. I'm a huge Kenny fan but he's just not the greatest or anything like that)

[@toxicbreez4277]

@@dre9532 we don't need another X or Juice, we already have their music.... He's gonna be in that category tho, as same regard as someone who impacts the genre and culture in a unique original way.. Just too soon

[@danielpowell8806]

He is a genius. His music actually makes me think and that shit is pretty uncommon now days
