How is NBA Youngboy so popular

[Mull]

Also from when he came out originally up to about the Pandemic I was a big fan of his work. His music was mostly about his pain and struggle and it was heavily harmonic and easy to vibe to.

Idk if it was the Von beef or something else, but a lot of his music post Pandemic is like some Demonic drill ish. Some of it sound “ok” but it’s almost a 180 from what originally made me a fan

Sometimes it’s best not to follow the youth

What positive cultural impact has he made?

AI Youngboy 2 and Until Death Calls My Name are classic, both gave me 90’s Cash Money vibes. He’s been trash ever since but his concert looks crazy

You either Mexican or white

Y’all are weird. What does race have to do with anything? YoungBoy music is good. Plus it’s multiple people on here that follow me on IG and vice versa

What positive cultural impact has he made?

98% of entertainers never make a positive impact.

But to YoungBoy literally is a vessel for young men to express their pain. He lets know it’s okay to show emotions.

1. Why has Akademiks never put up a clip of him being at a concert? Talkingbout I got everybody’s show

2. How is face tatted so called YNs spreading their net worth on their arms and rapping about killing black kids the culture

3. If it’s just regular black kids why is he calling them YNs

This dude and saycheese move exactly like operatives

I think folks are being disingenuous. You can run thru some youngboy shyt in a couple of days and see why his shyt is impactful. Cool if it ain't for you, but he's Taylor Swift to these YNs

That’s fine, but I also remember some of yall saying how dope Lil Baby was, how much of a superstar he is and how “he’s the next Lil Wayne”. I also remember yall hyping up Young Thug as some creative genius that “uses his voice as an instrument”. We’ll see if yall feel the same a couple years from now.

YB is truly the hottest rapper out and has been for a while

I have no clue. I've heard a song or two and decided not to continue.

He's also more in line with shyt older people fukk with too IMO. If you like Future you're gonna like some YB tracks. Whereas I think for a certain demographic of rap fans Young Thug was a bridge too far for them sonically, Young Boy at least sounds like he's from a familiar tree (Wayne, Z Ro, etc).
