you're just wrong, and not even from the city, just a wanna be
I think you're argument just fails on the idea that you equate mixtapes with being big


yes mixtapes do indeed equate to being big in the streets.

the problem is, you were in the house. that's why youre trying to stick to the mainstream cuz all you know is what hit the TV in-between you watching Spiderman.

I guess meek millz wasn't on top in philly until "im a boss", right??:facepalm:

Ok bro lol. Dude had different shyt he promos on the show weekly, he is constantly the number one pod cast and signed a deal with a Major with a company? You think gillie who wouldn’t take a rape deal from roc a fella woulda sign a rape deal when he has all the leverage tells me all I need to know about you

and yea they signed a 3 mill deal with bar stool, the nikka was actually living ultra good before he even created the pod. Probably off the streets. Dude get in they feelings about rappers and lose they mind

From what I constantly hear black thought and them never was big in the streets. I remember Questlove saying black thought was always mad cause he didn’t get the love of the streets in philly like other philly artist and he wants that barbershop love

Yes nikkaz painted them like some hippie rappers. Thought was rapping circles around everyone. Only Big pun had him on a major record collaboration shining light. Plus the roots caught a lot of flack for what they do video and song. Then they got roped into the Nas Jay beef because Questlove was on Jay nuts hard around that time (Nas called them S*mbos :damn:)

Black though has a more official life story than most rappers could ever pen with their imagination, just cuz he don't act like a street dude people think he's corny :snoop:. He was also Beanie Sigels first rhyme partner when they were coming up and the reason he go an uncredited cameo on THINGS FALL APART before he was ROC. Really a dude from the bottom of the bottom.

How is he dikkriding by telling you what the deal is that they just signed? Lol, it's all over the internet, it wasn't a confidential deal, they signed with and handed over their licensing I think to Barstool Sports for their podcast and the deal is for millions of dollars. Don't be mad at him for telling you a fact, lol, you a hater bro

I mean, they were pretty popular around the mid-90s, but even back then, there were bigger local groups.

that dude who thinks the roots were anywhere near as big as major figgas in philly is exposing the hell out of himself.

gillie is gonna retweet & respond to anything attached to his name.

roots picnic aint even a big deal like that.

To the first statement yes key world local. There were many bigger local rappers than drake in Toronto as well. That didn't mean he wasn't the biggest rapper out the city... :heh:. what locals like usually tends to be factored on bias, outsiders gravitate to a scene for the music.

Gillie is a man child and he didn't need to throw shade at them while acting like he doesn't care about something he cares about. just another emotions "street" dude.

the roots picnic is a big deal. you stay with the worst takes. it's been around longer than most festivals

:umad:

Isnt he one of the dudes that used to be around Ar-Ab? What did he say?


lik moss is ar-ab's brother.

he made a video, proclaiming himself as the current king of EA.

he gave props to gillie and made it clear that it wasn't a diss but gillie aint really around there no more.

I don't know how people still managed to take it way out of context.

what are you talking about??

when you chime in on other peoples' side-convos, you should at least know whats going on.


Gillie is a man child and he didn't need to throw shade at them while acting like he doesn't care about something he cares about. just another emotions "street" dude.


gillie isn't the one who brought it up.

and black thought's response looks mad guilty. that's not to say that it was black thought's call but he was the one who responded.

but of course, youre too busy holding a grudge against "the outspoken street guy" because of your own personal issues. I see you.

youre not comprehending what im saying, nerd.
im saying it aint too many people in philly breaking their necks to go there. unless they have somebody on the bill that people really want to see like that.
I wasn't saying that its not a known festival or anything of that nature.

and no, I don't have the worst takes. youre just cut funny.

Nikkas ain’t making no millions podcasting :dead:
nikkas posted the article of them making 3 million but keep cooking

podcasts making more than album releases these days, off 52 weeks of ad revenue alone. Nevermind when the big podcast company buys the rights or you do like Nore, and put it on 3 different platforms and keep ownership... Then reup by throwing the video on youtube and getting those views and ad money on top... Then running round doing live shows and events off the popularity

Why you think everybody and their momma got a podcast these days? It's real money in there.. Dudes have actual careers and take time away to go do podcast weekly.. It's cheap as fukk and all profit
