Na y'all actually crown dudes to late. Dudes have put 5-6 quality hard ass original projects and nikkaz will say they ain't got enough work. I can see if it was some freestyle bullshyt.

Cats were honestly ready to crown anybody the "New Nas" for years & we still haven't seen anyone remotely close to him... everyone from Ali Vegas to Jay Electronica has been hailed as the Savior off jump & look where they are now. T.I. put in over a decade of work including multiple #1 Billboard Hits, multiple Platinum & Gold records, several Image changes, maturity & survived several beefs on wax & the streets. He earned his reputation... can we at least wait until Gates drops another album before we do this? Cats are given titles without having to put in any work anymore...

His next album could be garbage or could take him to the next level, but let's wait & see... titles & crowns are being handed out very reactionary & ADD-like these days wouldn't you agree?

Ti claimed the king when had like 2 albums out. So he gave no time to proclaim he was the best and everybody ain't as high on ti has some people. Gates already have bodies of work that people consider better than tips best

If those 4 albums are classics then the barometer is really low you must think mediocre albums don't exist.

Those aren't necessarily classic albums to me, or the genre, just they had classics on them, and some of the music was classic to me....'Trap Muzik' is arguable.

Ok I see what you're saying... outside of Mainstream Success you're right about Gates having a body of work that's comparable to T.I.'s...

I'd say Juvenile influence is definitely there and I hadn't looked at it like that before with the melodies he does, but personally I think it's disrespectful to a legend to compare Kevin Gates to Soulja Slim :francis:
To me thats like comparing YG to Pac, yea YG's cool and he's doing his thing right now, he got shot but he definitely isn't anywhere near Pac :yeshrug:
im just saying i hear glimpses...he aint Slim...but i can tell he's influenced by him

I don't know if he's the new TI, but he's very important to the culture right now. He's made some major contributions to the culture recently.

You're wasting your time with these nikkas more than half of these cats got introduced to Gates by his interviews or 2 phones:mjlol:
