It’s an unreleased demo, fall for your type

probably the best beat he ever blessed

Mink has explicitly said Drake and Dean blunt are his biggest influences but specifically so far gone era’s atmosphere
Which makes sense

its over

He explicitly said that Headlines drum pattern is in a ton of his music

I hate to say it but the drizzler keeps stacking W’s this week

• decent song
• correct take about UK rappers
• brings out a young goat

Not at all

Also peep the No Bells interview on page 1

He’s outspoken abt it

I stand corrected
His voice is so good for rap

He has this vocal pattern that a lot of Afghan singers have where it’s higher and nasally and it’s really cool seeing it infused with British linguistics on cloud rap s***

It’s really cool

So hard

Dude is this amalgamation of the metropolitan urbanism of London and it’s really cool seeing an artifact of this digital/post-colonial world bring some crazy s*** into the light

Am I making sense?

Is this world post colonial?

Nah but he’s part of a world that a consequence of colonialism if that makes sense

Agreed

It seems like it’s all just tribute acts now with not much difference

Let’s not pretend that our goats werent doing tribute acts

ofc but they brought their own swag to it, it was more original than inspo if you get what i’m saying

most of these new guys are carbon copies of bladee or black kray or carti or whoever else

i’ll give credit to fakemink, he has something unique to him with the way he flows on the tracks but at the same time it feels like it’s just a rehash of older s*** as nostalgia bait, he heavily pulls from SFG-era Drake for example

everything feels like Y2K older brother indie sleaze american apparel bushwick nyc nostalgia bait or knockoffs of OPIUM or Goth Money Records or SBE/DrainGang

i haven’t seen anything yet that’s really blown me away like SGP did when I first really started getting into his music for example because I never heard anything like that before

I don’t get why that pluggnb wave was so highly fellated because it wasn’t that different from the original wave from the early-mid 2010s, it just caught on with younger zoomers

gatekeep

You shouldve been a facial

Please god let there be a drake x esdeekid song one day

We knew.

The way he pulls from SFG era Drake is so like not heavy that nobody I’ve talked to noticed it till I pointed out how he explicitly said it he def has his own swag to everything he’s approaching. That’s why he’s the only semi cloud rap artist to pop in 10 years because he’s not rly rehashing at all he doing his completely own style

I’d say the same about xaviersobased, Len, YT, Jim, doechii, 454 all the 2024-2025 wave specifically.

Ur prolly just more familiar with the influences now so you notice it more

Pluggnb is p wildly dif from anything going on in 2011 it was insanely melodic and quite a unique sound
