Young Thug name dropping everyone on Lil Baby ft dropping Friday ("Only reason I fukked with you Gunna, it was cuz of Troup")

[Gotright]

People stopped caring about authenticity the moment 50 exposed Ross was a CO and people still fukked with Ross

Nobody cared and still listened to Ross knowing he took his name from dude and fabricated the lifestyle. At that point it became about who made better music/who people like more and it's been that way in hip hop since.

Sad

 

[Da_Eggman]

I thought he had all these rules about what he was aloud to rap about

 

[L $ C]

YT messed up his buzz bad

 

[Cladyclad]

tide has turned

the crowd is gonna troll authenticity now

i feel like that's a big driving force behind artists like thug & wham falling out of favor

it's a little thumbing of the nose when folks say we don't give a fukk about who didn't keep it solid

*

They took over. More people relate to gunna than a mobb boss Thug

relatability is not a positive in artist

great art comes from outliers

we are in the most shyte era of art & it's the era where the artist is just like the audience the audience is just like the artist HA

It's because these niggs took their "realer than most" wave too far. Got richer than they ever thought they could and thought they could transition into crime syndicate bosses off of rap money. The fans, and listeners are tired of the beefs, disputes, fall outs, indictments and bs.

Utilize your talent, make hits, sell your merch, tour, get side deals, get your money, feed your people, and slam fine women. Why is it that some of these guys really think they can lead the life of a mobster off of rap money? Don't they realize social media is a bigger threat to them than opps and the alphabet boys?

all of what you said makes sense

but none of it is the reason why the crowd shifted to consciously celebrating rats in the name of trolling the same nikkas they cosplay as everyday

it's just the simple revenge of the nerds script playing out

they love all that gangster shyte but because they feel lame in contrast they will take whatever opportunity provided to pot shot those same characters

flaw shyte all around

Thug dropped an indie rock album before going to jail (which i liked), dropped a cash grab weed plate while he was locked up, then came out and dropped a forgettable single with Future.

Only time Thug name is buzzing is when its in relation to Gunna, who just so happens to be making better music.

Jeff needs a fire record, all these antics not gonna cut it

This isn't about "nerds flipping the script"....this is about Gunna making good enough music and crossing over to a demographic that doesn't give a shyt about street politics.



You could have Gunna ON VIDEO snitching and it wouldn't matter to his fans...watch Gunna's shows...it's white girls and frat boys rapping his shyt word for word nowadays.



Bro elevated beyond ATL hood shyt.

See you get it

It's why Lil Baby is trying his hardest to switch over. Wearing wacky shyt, leg tattoos, and label rebranding. He sees Gunna is in a space where opportunities are unlimited while also stress free. Gunna doesn't have to be gangsta or play gangsta and that's what Lil Baby wants.

I’m from Chicago….why are some of yall so obsessed with real street shyt + music , young thug was the worse rap label leader of all time, this nikka literally said he was gonna kill lucci numerous times Worse than irv gotti

Thats part of it but not all of it

Its almost celebrated that he snitched, all while hes a crip and raps about the same hood shyt

 

[M4T]

Thug needs to drop more feel good songs like birthday or get some more reggae infused beats . Nobody is trying to hear that generic try hard trap shyt anymore.

 

[Uchiha God]

Gunna already surpassed thug.

Gunna making better music currently, but Thug like the most influential rapper of the last decade - it’s neck and neck with him and Fewtch
