    i think smokey is not so much a direct influence in the popularization of memphis/phonk in the mainstream level but he was around pretty much every influential cloud rap/underground artist in the early-mid 10s - he was part of teamsesh and prod for bones early on, worked with rvidxr klvn, metro zu, black kray, sadboys/drain gang, etc. he's a "streets will remember" type of guy imo. and even then he credits purrp and LUM as influences, there's a post on his ig from recently where he says as much.

    as far as direct influence, his tapes were the blueprint for the producer/instrumental focused phonk that was popular on soundcloud and youtube especially from like 2015-2018ish. guys like soudiere, dj yung vamp, and whatever you see on the rare phonk youtube channel, are clearly influenced by smokey's take on phonk. and then after those guys was the people who started to focus on cowbell/drift phonk and house phonk and all the corny tiktok edit music that made smokey turn away from phonk music.

    People enjoying JID 2K/Madden soundtrack ass music.

    i was real big on jid 2017-2019. he def fell off music wise to me tho. he's at his most popular tho so im happy for him but his last two albums are egregiously bad to me. it's like he always been a yappin ass rapper but before during never story and DiCaprio 2 era his yapping was very stylistic and charismatic now holmes really just be stringing words together for the f*** of it and his production just ain't it for me. his features are always very good to me still but them albums ain't it

    Hes pretty good but him being the most mainstream out of this newer uk movement is puzzling. Jim legaxcy and YT both doing bigger things imo

    UK rappers are just rapping over more US-friendly and accessible production

    wish we got grime and garage back

  • on that same note, Central Cee for me. He is talented but the way he gets rated you would think he is one of the UK GOATs, when he shouldnt be close in the convo
