Theres always YouTube. Normally I would've post that guys Music when asked but sometimes it better for the person that inquired to truly find out on there own. More rewarding. Oan if
That's all you took from the dialogue within this thread c'mon breh: Bad shape. And really it's a rhetorical question that doesn't need answering. Cant do anything but shake my head at this.

No they are not. and this says everything about your opinion. Those dudes are destined to be dusty rehash bring it back rap. They not elevating shyt. Fahim sound like he stuck in a 90's cypher somwhere... no growth and very low ceiling. Mach fukking with Droog... nothing else to say

Boldy makes listenable music for wider audience in the same lane as the Grizelda dudes. Armani is family. These nikkaz fronted on the movement early and they been stagnant since. They haven't grown in parallel. what does that say?

that statement in OP is the typical shyt you see when people start out on the same level and some of em get left behind... feelings start getting aired out.

There’s a market for people who want to listen to that type of shyt and that’s who they appeal to they not out here trying to make mainstream stars. They underground stars.

Dont like that chick he sign

She’s dope and sexy. Might have the best female rap delivery in the game now.

She raps about the same shyt they do from a female perspective. The marketing and aesthetic on her project was great.

 

[Excellenceofelegance]

Not gonna lie if you wanna start listening to griselda you can’t start with westside his rapping style can be so unorthodox to keep up with gotta start with benny or Conway

I actually don’t mind the Armani chick she did good on the pray for Paris album and every crew gotta have atleast one female in it as history shows it

Seems like dude is straight hating. Boldly is nice too

 

[Ironman]

That's hate

Armani been there from the beginning and Boldy dropped one of the best albums of the year

that's a long winded way of saying they are not versatile.

the thing with grizelda crew and the people like Roc Marci, Boldy, Gibbs etc is they can do it all. That's what separates them... not on the same level.

Those people you mentioned underground stars too out those only Gibbs is bigger and Griselda is the hottest

Boldy ain't a star, but he's high quality music. Haven't heard an Armani project yet, but she's been good for features from what I've heard. I'll get to the Liz this wk

the key word was versatility my dude. Conway album showed that, their DJ drama feature showed that. Benny album dropping with Hitboy about to show that. They are not limited to one arena. Versatility means they can play on either court. the guys YOU mentioned DON'T have that option. You are talking about POPULARITY. I'm talking about music and music making ability.

I prefer che noir she is iller. Dont like the other chick raps.

Armani is cool to me and Boldy's been legit.

Personally, I think there's something to be said for not everyone on the label being a commercially viable finished article, from jump.

Watching artists grow has always been one of my favourite things about hip-hop. It's different now that everyone is on social media 24 hours a day, I guess, but it used to be that you hear from an artist you fukk with every couple of years on an album, and you get to watch them evolve through guest features and the odd soundtrack, in between.

If Gunn is looking to prove his ear - it speaks better of him to take artists who are a bit rough around the edges and get them to pop, rather than getting in a bidding war for someone who's hot right now and all the labels are trying to court.

Speaking of which - Stovegod Cooks - that guy seems tailor made for Griselda, but between his links with Lord Jamar, Busta and Roc Marci - shyt might get complicated.

I think Stove God is 'bout to be apart of the label before the year is over. In the summer Gunn posted a pic of them saying "We spoke about what y'all wanted us to speak about" or something along those lines, but it's looking likely especially after Awesome God 2.

Edit:
