Keef was 100x more grassroots than chance, fukk outta hereDoes it get anymore grassroots and organic in 2016 than Chance? I can't believe how far this nikka has come since Acid Rap.
Thats why I don't buy all these out of touch 30+ year olds in here talking about these conspiracies for why this nikka got on, when plenty of people in my age group 20-26 have vouched for the fact that he had a very organic movement. He's well connected yes, but everyone in Chicago and the Midwest has known of him since the Kids These Days era.

straight up. chance and vic aren't unfamiliar names at all. kids these days was getting a major push from websites and shyt. i think i got a vid favorited on youtube from like 5/6 years ago. chance was buzzing off the local shyt and off that affiliation. just like how people were saying vic should go solo years and years ago.
idk why people here think an artist has to be recognized everywhere for proof of an organic movement. there's a rapper here that's signed and has been getting promotion from a huge site with big features that is still virtually unknown to a lot of people here. it's all about who you know. i got into a lil' argument with a local radio station over their support of local artists a while back. radios are all for pay (except for filler in a certain timeslot or if your demand is that huge, which rarely happens nowadays).
dude sounds like a slightly less retarded young thug 
why is it now fashionable to sound like this when you rap?

kami is that nikka. i fukk with him, leather corduroys and savemoney in general. nikkas on the coli are gonna do what they do. i'm glad they're getting the support and love they need.
keef got a lot of fame off that video of that little kid praising he was out of jail that was all over worldstar and got covered by gawker not too long after, but yeah, he was 100x more grassroots.
I feel like they are forcing me to like him...but I'm lukewarm on him.
The Keef movement was unheard of. Back From The Dead all the way through the Finally Rich release was big moment of the modern era. But I think people tend to really forget how huge Chicago as a city is. Keef and Chance could both be buzzing at the exact same time in completely different lanes and have different fanbases. Keef and the 300 movement had the Chi Southside streets locked. High school kids were going crazy.
Chance was doing a lot of spoken word open mics and stuff like that. At the end of the day Chance obviously had a more mainstream marketable aesthetic, but both are true products of Chicago. They both actually highlight, I think, the dualities that kids in the inner-city face. I think Keef's music is just as important as Chance's; 2-sides to a coin.
Dread Head nikkas in the lobby= CIA agentsI know they are friends with Obama

All good points. I remember I made friends with a kid who went to Whitney and put me on Vic back in 2010, when he was doing hashtag raps trying to find a style. It was the mixtape with lights out on it.
I wasn't trying to shade Vic or chance and them but let's not act like the forces that be weren't actively trying to promote chance and bury chief keef when chance was getting youth of the year awards and Sosa was personally held accountable for the murder rate
