Gillie Da King Reacts To Wack100 Saying Birdman Is A Real One
- Thread starter Jefferson Jackson
- Start date
...naw I didn't forget about it, it just wasn't worth mentioning or changes what I said in the least bit...
Neither Yeah Thats Us nor Get Down on the Ground were anything approaching "national hits" unless we lower the threshold for what a hit record is to be "was played on rap city for a month" ... in which case we gotta open the books and make basically every song ever aired a "national hit" retroactively...time to give RAM Squad and Cadillac Tah their flowers
Nothing wrong with being a local act, just folks be gassing the hell outta all the "buzz" gillie and the figgas supposedly had...that nikka was at least a dozen alternate universes away from being a "household name" ... and lapped by any number of contemporaries in his lane, in low end random east coast mixtape rapper ranks...

Except Gillie ain't godbody....hell I don't even think he's one of those fake ass philly sunni Muslims either...that was always a reach cause the tangible evidence ain't there...I'd say post Gillie tracks with 5% terminology but nikkas don't actually listen to Gillie songs...
the ONLY reason he was able to parlay his failed rap career into being a Internet personality was because of the visibility he got from beefing with wayne that allowed him to showcase how entertaining he can be by making funny faces
He was born a muslim

i can never tell if Gill is being serious or not...he always show out for the camera and then laughs the next minute...
But I don't know exactly what his situation with Baby was back then...but imo, Gills mixtape music around 2005-2007 was as nice as anything else that was out around that time...I think with him, just like a lot of ppl it was just the politics of the business as to why he didn't blow up

I've always said the exact same thing...and I say that as someone from Philly who was there at the time in Philly when this dropped.
I respect and like MF,but let them tell it today... and they are "legends" in Philly.... now imo that's all in their heads...especially Gils.
Yeah that's Us had a slight buz in the winter of 99"...it had some radio play but nothing crazy....me myself I was much more of a Ram Squad guy. But if I'm being honest Gil was never the stand out in the group...I thought Dutch & SpadeO together had the most potential, especially as a duo...AbLive and Gillie were straight but nothing special
But when MF album finally dropped after the single...it flopped imo...I liked it but it had like a ZERO buzz and went double wood...
Back when MF album came out...NO BODY was thinking about them like that...all attention was on Beans and Eve, and eventually State Prop...plus if I remember correctly Ram Squad finally went mainstream when they signed to Warner Brothers and Philly's Most Wanted had a buzz with Pherrel....at that time State Prop and PMW were WAY WAY more popular than MF in Philly...it's not even close
All I’m saying that bullshyt like “Wayne made some random reference to Allah and they’re Muslim rappers in Philly...it was gillie
“ is some retroactive internet reaching messageboard talking point bullshyt that actually makes no sense at all ... attributing shyt to him that wasn’t even in HIS music at the time...muhfukkas be all in these threads acting like Wayne was some illiterate orphan who knew nothing but the ten blocks of New Orleans surrounding his childhood home who did nothing but yell wobbly wobbly on records before being exposed to the ways of modern culture by this capping ass loudmouth earthworm jim looking ass nikka Gillie who was kind enough to tell him what Allah meant ... like Wayne wasn’t multiple times platinum and been around the world twice before, and been rapping better than Gillie ever has in life before Gillie got there (random mixtapes cuts like Best of Me or Renegades freestyle from Sq4 better emceeing than Gil's whole career) ...half the shyt y'all be attributing to him comes from Hov who clearly influenced them both... and while I'm sure there's influence between being around cats who are friends...but we gotta cut it out like Gillie was some kinda God MC that if he never came around Wayne would be rapping like lil twist or some shyt...nikka Wayne been nicer than Gillie since before he could legally buy a pack of cigarellos... always struck me as some region hating rapper-racist (it's outrageous) shyt...
fukk out here with that im not a big gillie fan but wayne was not nicer then gillie especially during them before gillie got to cash money
your posts in here are a fountain of information.
imitation jay-z???
you do realize that jay-z bit major figgas, right??.......of course not. because you have no clue what youre talking about, but you want to type out essays.

gillie is considered to be one of those guys who wouldve been a star if he had any type of push. i dont know where youre getting the household name stuff from, but he certainly had all the tools to be a rap star. same with the major figgas group as a whole. if they didnt turn down rocafella. you would prolly be jockin him right now.
you think lil wayne would be anywhere near where he is now if birdman wasnt obsessed with making him a star, even after YEARS of failed attempts?? wayne was basically the original hakeem lyons. im not even doing hakeem any justice with that comparison, cuz hakeem didnt have a bunch of writers.
"yea thats us" was a cool hit, not huge, but it was a big deal considering the success it had despite the lack of push from a still-born label and being blackballed by jigga. and it had reach. it was even chanted at the arena bowl that summer.
lol @ it being all in their heads. they changed the way people rapped.
how was state property more popular than figgas back then, when there wasnt even a state property yet??
most wanted was never as popular as figgas in philly.
figgas album still did aiird in the streets and they still had the popular mixtapes.
rap squad was semi-old school by this point, even tho they finally got some mainstream shine. they were still poppin tho, but not quite on that level. the '90s were over. btw, ram squad wasnt on warner bros. they were on universal. major figgas and no queston were on warner bros via ruffnation.
