@@B47ANCE144 homie… c’mon. you’re better than that. just because an artist isn’t currently in their prime(or even just in a release slump) doesn’t mean the artistic and/or cultural significance to what they’ve done doesn’t still resonate. there’s a reason people are still turned onto Pink Floyd or The Beatles this many years later.. timeless art is timeless my brother
I think the problem is not too many ppl know about him and he’s not really in nobody face. Because I completely agree he is slept on heavily but even I forgot about him until I saw your comment
I definitely gotta see Griselda live once. I’ve seen beastcoast Gibbs and JID all live as well and they killed it. All amazing performances but Gibbs really did it for me, the venue wasn’t too packed and I had a good place to watch right by the stage and really take in that man’s excellence. He opened with 1985 which was such an amazing beat felt like some real rockstar shit.
Fire!!! I went too Ab-Souls These days tour bas was opening but also earth gang was before bas before they was signed to dreamville. They grout JID with em. First off earthgang fucked us up crazy they were amazing then I got to smoke with JID he was on stage in his classic orange hat at the time and he had a blunt I had a blunt. He was down to trade and he asked you smoke good shit? I was 16 and it was good shit hit I was like ya this the best shit you could get around here! 😂 never forget JID exchanged blunts and words it was beautiful. Shout out you also
Im a big ass beast coast fan but i feel their brand was too niche like as soon as the indigo children beast coast wave ended their music stopped being potent i also think they got dropped by the label. But their indigoism tape is hard AK still doing his thing.
I love Black thought & I rate him as a top 3 MC of all times but there's a new upcoming MC name Rome Streetz y'all gotta tap into. Rome Streetz is the name rite now
He named some great artists and him being placed in that roster makes it even crazier. Respect. His first statement dumb solid. Alot of artists killing it.
Word my playlist is all OBH and upstate NY, curren$y, Gibbs, Roc Marciano and a lot of artists loosely affiliated with these artists. Radio is not even important, I can't see myself taking lil Uzi vert or any of those caricatures masquerading as the face of hip hop seriously.
