He’s basically “Lil Boosie on steroids”

If you understood Boosie’s appeal with a “certain” demographic, then you should understand youngboy’s appeal to that same demographic

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if most of the parents of Youngboy fans worshipped Boosie, Webbie, Plies and Gucci when they were younger

A lot of the parents looked around my age, It wasn’t odd to see a mom and dad with green bandanas hanging from their pockets, a daughter with green hair and a son with his t shirts on. :heh:

It was all very wholesome ironically. It’s like they could have been coming back from a Disney show. I was tripping out.

He speaks to the soul
the track that kid was crying over, "all in" is a bit more... introspective than i expected from youngboy. it wasnt exactly deep or even good, but i didnt think he was capable of that level of self reflection

hes no brad jordan or anything... he prolly wrote it with whatever crayons he didnt finish eating

I came to say this. First time I went to a club in Geechie Country and they put on Boosie shyt was wild lol, I knew who Boosie was but he was God to them, not just imagine that pre Prison Boosie run with Modern social media.

I just chalk it up to the decline of hip hop and move on. There's no rationally explaining it to a man with my musical sensibilities.

Victory Lane
Streets + youth + the machine backing = NBA Youngboy

Are you saying DMX wasn’t the guy, or are you making the distinction that he was on crack instead of a dope fiend?

You never know what people are going through.

I used to think it was weird for people to cry at concerts but it's not always because you love the artists. it's that the song reminds you of a person or a time in your life that makes you emotional.


Bad Bunny gets me too :sadbron:
