I loved him so much. I grew up on the internet with him. The hardest celebrity death along with juice for me. Both legends 💔
Erica Kane is such a dope song!
FINALLY WE GET THIS VIDEO SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE A LONG TIME AGO
Na
If I could bring one rapper back, it’s gotta be SK 🔥
Yet some people would say theyd bring back x.shit I'd bring back Sk too
I agree but I would bring X back 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
u aint cappin
Amen
Jordan Simons same
We been knew SK the legend was a pioneer of this rap shit but to see it all laid out here and how many people he made beats for / shout outs he gets feels amazing. He's truly missed and will forever be in the hearts and playlist of me and my brothers. Dude's a beast.
Finally giving my baby some credit 😭♥️
D'aryka Edwards check my page out

PERIOD
That's a fucking fact.

@@steven5301 factssss
Francesco Cenni mannnnn🥵 flexin N finessing was on dat too
Souljaboy influenced > SpeakerKnockerz > The new wave
@@ice8776 don't forget lil b the base god
And lil peep
@@journalsfromdavid hahahaha, no. No disrespect to peep but just cause he's dead doesn't mean he influenced anyone. And if he is gonna influence a generation I can tell you that this wave of rappers ain't it. Peep too young and I don't see any major changes yet.
@@ob1934 yeah definitely lil b
@@journalsfromdavid gtfoh
Speaker Knocker was icon if he was living he be top R.I.P.
SouljaBoy really did birth the industry as it is today 😳🤯🔥🚫🧢
A young legend in the making. Finally people are giving him the respect he deserves
It’s so sad that he didn’t know he was a pioneer. So under appreciated
He was the one that got me into liking melodic rap, RIP 😢
Lil Skies heavily inspired by Speaker
Kool Gamez frfr skies literally sounds like sk
skies is trash
Richie Alvarado no he not
Finally he gettin the respect he deserves
RICO story is one of the most creative, beautiful pieces of art to ever exist.
It is crazy how even him, one of the most influential rappers to ever live, was influenced and inspired by Soulja Boy
Mook out here holdin it down for SK 🥀🥀🥀
Bfresh 01 nah. Mook sound diff now, i miss old mook like the red roses album
@@TALYJIMMY cash route was fire not gonna lie
Other then Keef, SK influenced da new wave
Facts
You have to add Wayne to that list as well.
I think Soulja influenced more shit I didn't know who keef was until maybe a couple years ago
@@giovonemendoza6531 look up a video on keefs influence, it was pretty big.
And Uzi
Damn man he really started a lot of these rappers careers
He would’ve been bigger than everyone rn bro
bro would take over this generation man
No he wouldn't
It all comes back to Soulja Boy...
It really does.. People gonna keep hating on him though..
@@gat3725 PPL NEED TO PUT SOME RESPEK ON BIG GUCCI SOULJA
That is when music went downhill
Balzac T. Bagher Music is subjective lol
People who hate on Soulja are new to rap, and don’t know the past.
*I’m not crying.. something got into my eyes*
It's water
The song lonely gives me chills every time I hear it. My little bro died similar to sk . Heart problems
This man went to my high school
Edit: all these people say I’m lying lmao. He went to ridge view high school, you can look up that fact, and then go to my channel and see i have some earlier videos that I shot at that school when I was younger.
Yeah and he was my uncle
That’s crazy
@@liberationwasalie2982 lol
Chippy Glo 🧢
What high school he went too then? cause I go there now and I’m cool with Christian, I stay a neighborhood away.

Fuck him
If he was alive new rappers wouldn't be famous
Thank you he didn't mumble, he didn't bite off trends and he was a pretty good guy.He would have set standards so high that these rappers would not make it

D Harris false He would be Popping but to say they wouldn't be around would be false
Yes they will be stfu
Someone tell Lil Tecca to hit up Lil Knock for a SK beat!
Here In 2021 to say RIP TO A LEGEND man. So sad bruh really created the next wave
Soulja boy really the goat tho
😂
What I been sayin
💯
He is a pioneer yall laughing but he was the first to blow up off youtube but he be doing too much for clout to make himself relevant.
About time yall give him the respect he deserves. All these alternative hip hop artists derived from him
s/o genius for shining a light on his legacy.
Not to sound like an old head but nowadays I feel like people don't even know who speakerknockerz was and still is in rap industry. rip
Died years ago and we still talking about him . Rip 🙏🏿
*literally lately I've been craven speaker knocker music out of nowhere randomly and now you want to make this video CRAZY 😱🔥*
Manny King Money bro me too on god, literally when 2019 started i just randomly thought of SK and now this video dropped
Lahno same
Long Live SK🙏🏽🍇
Such a shame he isn't alive now, it would have been amazing to see him become one of the biggest artists out now.
Definitely was a legend in the making I remember listening too him when I was younger! he had a unique sound! it’s sad that the good die young 💔 there’s no telling where he would be at if he was still alive! R.I.P!
