G Herbo Says He Got His Rapping Style From New York, Says Rappers In His City Can’t Rap

[Lord Beasley]

BUT YOURE TALKING
ABOUT HERBOS PEERS....
nikkaS IN HIS SAME AGE RANGE
OR EVEN YOUNGER
THAT HE OBVIOUSLY WOULDNT
HAVE GROWN UP LISTENING TO.

THIS WOULD BE LIKE ME
NAMING ALL THE TRASH
NYC DRILL nikkaS


​

I don't get this point so I'm not going to argue with you. It's your city you got it

nikkas in this thread kill me acting like Herb ain’t nice lol, I never understood the hatred for off beat rapping. If it’s not your cup of tea that’s fine, but sometimes being unorthodox works. nikkas in the Coli just want all rappers to rap the same

The effect of puff right here and most don't eem know it.

This board clowns drill rappers all the time but got a problem with Herb saying nikkas from the city are trash

Nicca said most too, so naturally coli niccas take offense and name 10 rappers that are dope. For every rapper they named, there's 15 Bloodhound Lil Jeffs stinkin it up before they get locked or killed

I always thought the NY influence was obvious.



He always gassin unlike his Chicago contemporaries (from his era). Chi has always had spitters tho.

nikkas still actin like Herb trash tho? One of the most consistent artists in the last 10 years.

 

[Still Benefited]

I mean twista was rapping about brutally murdering people kamikaze style,but also perfectly pronouncing every syllable

Lol,he bought up Bump J and said "on some street shyt". So i kinda take it to mean hes talking about dudes who was really certified street dudes or really outside. I have no idea of Twistas background. But i think hes talking about so called "real nikkas" that moonlight as rappers.

Delusional

he told you where he got his style from*

 

[Drip Bayless]

Mfs sound stupid as hell in here talking bout Herbo can’t rap. Half of y’all be listening to E-40

 

[Left.A1]

Pretty sure he's talking about his own generation.… lmao at nikkas pulling up old ass common references Herbo is nice tho when he catches the right beat…but I definitely don't get any NYC influence from his raps

They are willfully hating and ignoring that he was rapping like NY when he first started



How you gonna be mad at someone’s influence?

 

[Theodoresolderbreh]

That herb can get all the way the fukk outta here

 

[ISO]

Said the same shyt on Math Hoffa podcast not too long ago

Don’t get the Herb hate he’s low key mad influential and a young legend

It pains nikkas that NY deserves credit for influencing Chicago drill and not just Atlanta like y’all be trying to spin it

“I remember claiming Dipset, I told them bytches…”

Because you're young and have come up with off-beat rapping as the standard. The hate comes from the fact that it doesn't sound good. Being unorthodox works sometimes, that sometimes coming from the MC being deliberate and in control of the odd fit of their cadence.

Rappers of the past decade-plus are the goons/weed carriers of the past who real rappers put on a record out of loyalty... meaning they never put in time to being technically good and it shows.

Would've liked to see the clip continue and not be cut off for headlines purposes cuz it seemed like he was finna clean it up by sayin' he more so talkin' street wise & not mfs like Common, Lupe, etc.

He ain't always the most technical sound, especially in terms of finding the pocket & staying there, but when he's on, his shyt do go, and he got more than a few joints I roc wit.

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

damn near all these people yall naming out his listening age range

dude aint 40 years old

That's bullshyt.

This nikka didn't have parents? cousins? OGs?

What the fukk were they listening to?

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Bump J could rap though but sadly he crashed out and got caught in a Bank Robbery….

Had production from a prime Kanye too , got feature from Rick James before he dropped dead too.



Common sounded more like a East Coast rapper if u think about it.

Lupe was too weird for Herbo so that’s understandable as well

Took me back to my childhood with this one
