NY Brehs: how would the NY music scene be different if Yams was alive?

It wasn’t any different when he was alive 
rest in power but asap mob had no impact out of ny. Honestly ny didn’t even embrace them like that. Don’t make this turn into a asap rocky irrelevancy thread

What do you mean didn’t embrace them? That movement was crazy, from the outside looking in it seemed like NU embraced ASAP

yams wasn't stuck on nyc
he was super early on a lot of cats that came up from all over
& nyc has multiple acts charting
locally it's always been popping

You don’t think ASAP’s movement would be bigger? I actually thought (and was looking forward to) the Rocky album was dropping last Friday
Tough to say. As dope as Yams was I would say they were a bit niche in nyc when they were out. Outside of nyc, Rocky got mad Love, but I don’t think the city ever fully embraced them. They also started to pop at a weird time, when the Internet scenes were still behind the influence of radio and blogs. He was kind of ahead of his time.
If he was alive today, I could see him def being a bigger tastemaker than Adam22 and AK, etc..

yamborghini records might be bigger
but rocky has always seemed happy to just do whatever he feels
they don't really operate on record label time

Who are you referring to? Who did he miss on?
Yams was just going region to region dikkriding anything moving.
He was all quantity over quality.

A$AP Mob would be bigger if he was around (especially Twelvyy), but NY never wants to jump on a ledge by themselves anymore. We hate being the only ones to like something.

No different and I knew Yams personally
He was more of a mouth piece

The real question is how different would hip hop be if Dj Paul and Juicy J weren't these cats daddy.
Really?
