No, it was not a straight bite on Houston sound there's a lot more influences on there other than Houston. Dude had Das-EFX vocal samples, cliche ass point. And yes it did penetrate the culture every young nikka in NY was lighting up to this tape in late 2011 and 2012. His videos accumulated millions of views overnight and were on some different shyt.

Rocky's first tape is more acclaimed than anything Wale put out, debut album went Gold and his last album outsold Wale too.

These hip hop fans who supposedly know so much about Rockys music to make said claims gun so hard for NY rappers to go back to sounding more NY or being more NY influenced always expose themselves when they say this shyt.

Not only has Rocky sampled Das Efx, he flipped a Cormega verse in a BET cypher, has paid plenty of homage and respect to NY battle rappers shouting them out in either songs or freestyled or referencing well known bars by them. There's also a few freestyles of his where you can tell he's def been influenced by Cam's wordplay

And Jodye off of Long Live sampled this

Lmao at "urban dandy". Never heard that phrase before but it fits. They probably got the "dandy" part from a LiveLoveASAP critic review. That's the first time I saw Rocky referred to in that way, and it fits.

Been saying that Rocky is the closest thing to Mobb Deep/Wu in modern New York, just "prettier". Stupid Coli posters still don't get it to this day.

Mobb Deep/Wu nikkaz are pretty now? Are we really saying rappers are prettier than each other in 2016? :wtf:
