I'm sure DMX inspired someone who inspired chief keef who inspired these new nikkas today..

These drill nikkas are just as Hip Hop as cardi b and whoever else this place tries to deny....

if a baby comes out deformed, it's still apart of a lineage no matter how one tries to abandon it...😄...
Drill is just gangsta rap. They talkin about the same shyt dudes was talkin about in the late 80s and 90s

If there was no bias, then surely he played Dr. Birds? Sonically interesting (IDK about "melodic" in the current sense), major label, with one of the catchiest pseudo hooks in ages? Sing "tell Virgil write brick on my briiick" in a crowd, and anyone who's heard it will start singing along.


These nikkas don’t know what they talking bout. A lot of these young early 20s nikkas these speakin on was obsessed heavily influenced by Odd Future and shyt like that at one point. Joey Badass, Flatbush Zombies etc etc. A beat like DR Birds is right up that alley.

WSG has a grating voice to many and it’s a slow ugly beat with very conversational rapping no melody.

How about the old head bias from the return of the boom bap types tho :mjpls:

As a posse cut this is a much better candidate to get played on radio way more energy to move people that Griselda song is something you mean mug and bop your head to :mjlol:

This shyt will actually make you move and I’d argue they were spitting harder than Griselda did and the content is no different. One is neo boom bap and the other drill.


I know a few Harlem nikkas that’s like 23-24 that listen to Gunn everyday and they actually drill artists themselves and plugged in with a lot of these drill nikkas I can prove it to u. Lol.

The 718
Nas came of age in a different time and had different influences that formulated his rap style it’s apples to oranges. And this is a radio discussion Nas wasn’t a big radio artist and Nas was an outlier at his age and in general period. It will never be another Nas.

Their rapping is fine dude tf they gotta be Nas for :mjtf:

Only NY son I don’t see nikkas saying Playboi Carti don’t sound like Andre 3000 :dead:
You make good posts but sometimes I wonder if you're being honest with yourself when you say these guys are rapping competently. Even their delivery and diction is amateurish.

Like TripleAgent said, all the 80s/90s cats were 18-21 when they started and sounded pretty polished. Nas was far from an outlier. Youth is no excuse for bad music.

And it's not content thing - like you said, they're talking about the same shyt they were in the 90s. But these Drill nikkas are bad and borderline embarrassing at it. They come off as self-parodies pandering to racial stereotypes.

Those rappers came of age in a different time and had different influences that influenced their rap style and a different approach to the music.
