Future dropped Dirty Sprite before Thug found a definitive sound w/ projects like icfn2, 3 & 1017 thug. Sure they released music at the time but once Future’s sound took off it pushed him to the top.

True if u want to put Future's big come-up at Pluto and Thug's at Barter 6/Rich Gang vol 1 that's 2-3 years apart

Wop’s a founding father too but Future’s pre-honest era run needs to be given more flowers.

When’s the last time someone besides Roddy said Future inspired them or influenced them to do music

And when Roddy mentioned him, he mentioned him and Jeff 😂

Future ain’t break no FBG artists and he isn’t influencing a generation like Thug

Lil Peep (RIP)
Atlanta artists will tell u future is an obvious staple that goes without saying
Juicewrld and uzi both doing tapes with future

u got a point tho

Not saying he isn’t but Slime is the current staple

Slime Slatt no cap wipe your nose

The lingo... the style... that ain’t Pluto

for sure, but also I mean they share similarities too, and have styles that overlap a bit, so it's not like they're really separate enough to completely say one doesn't involve the other

No disagreement at all

But the lingo.. styles... producers...

Slime.. King Slime

Nigga got all regions screaming Slatt and Slime 😂

NBA Youngboy
Roddy Rich
Uzi

All these C/D list rappers making the wipe their nose reference in pictures

FR thug-popularized lingo is everywhere in rap rn

also we got "she belong to the streets' and future toxic memes all the time too

We talking Memes

😂

Thug got those too!

& thats around the time when everyone started running with Future’s flow lol... Niggas were on RHQ’s head cause he sounded like Future

Honestly RHQ, is this generations Mase.

All the people wanted was more Rich Gang

He wanted to give us “Old Quan”

Nigga we don’t want “Old Quan” we want Rich Gang

Simple supply and demand

Give the consumer what they want

thug the better artist by a long shot

Young Thug is a better artist than Future in every conceivable way.

He also jumped out there and threw shade at Future.. like he was better

In hindsight his ego was inflated

ok i see we got some more thug support later down the line

I see a lot of you don’t know the difference between “prolific” and “profound”

Folks forget that before Thug it was Future taking his music to NY and getting the hate cause nobody knew what he was saying, and they hated all the adlibs, and the style, they were mad when he was on the hottest rapper lists but a few years later everyone was hopping onto that same style and blowing up off it. People still relevant from it today too. Durk’s biggest hit at the time was a Future rip.

Thug’s up there though, he just came after Future & theres nothin wrong with it.

Just because his first solo mixtape was a year before Thug's doesn't mean what you quoted is wrong in terms of Future's 2003-2009 songs, ghostwriting, features & bts work that was highly influentual in ATL to wannabe rappers like Thug

I would argue Thug played a critical role in the Durk rebrand.

Durk ran to Atlanta
Grew Locs (died then blonde lol)

Starting hanging around the slimes and before you know it he on tracks singing and moaning with the flow

I had a feeling I knew future was active before that but I had trouble finding the info on that today, its been some years since I looked at it tbh

Yeah tbh everyone get around thugger start moaning and dye their hair

old heads nightmare

That influence

It's thug and anyone who says otherwise is wrong
