If we're calling Racks day 1 then yeah im day 1 Fewtch (definitely not calling Racks day 1 tho lol)
Carti
Uzi
A lot of rappers, off top though
• When I first started listening to Kendrick OD wasn’t even out yet
• Yonkers wasn’t out when I found out about Odd Future
• Knew about Curren$y since 504 Boyz, started actively listening to him in 07
• Got put onto Wiz summer 08
• Been fw Carti since late 2014
• Knew about Uzi in 2014, became a fan 2015
• A friend put me onto Youngboy when the 38 Baby song first dropped
• My brother told me about Nudy when the first Slimeball dropped
• Started listening to Lil B in 2010
Saw Post Malone live when nobody knew who he was. Travis and Thug brought him out in Dallas and he did White Iverson. Then went to his own show a few weeks later, he performed White Iverson like 10 times, but Carti and Uzi also performed. They was still kinda new to the scene back then too.
Joey bada$$, Mac Miller I remember seeing the pizza and kool aid video when it was at like 300,000 k views lol
Ive been a fan of:
Travis when he released Love Sick
Rocky since Peso
Cole before The Come Up
Drake before SFG
Thug when he first dropped 2 cups stuffed
Kid Cudi when he had like 2 songs out
Frank Ocean when he just dropped nostalgia ultra
Weeknd when he had just released HOB
Wiz Khalifa when he dropped BAR
A ton other artists too coz I was deep into this rap s*** 10+ years ago when all these artists started poppin up
Being on KTT, it actually makes you aware of rappers / artists about to blow
I def remember the Owl Pharaoh hype for Travis but I wasn’t a fan but remember those threads
S*** like that.
Cardi B before she was a rapper. There were threads about her
Young thug threads before he somewhat got popular
Just was never fans of these people and more but seen their come up on KTT
I remember when Rick Ross, who had pretty big at that time, dropped a remix of one of his singles with Currensy and Wiz Khalifa and I was like DAMN!! This is major, my favorite (Wiz) is bout to blow up!
N that was the first time I ever predicted someone blowing up and it effortlessly happened right after that
In the coming years, I ended up predicting almost every huge hip hop artist blowing up way before they was stars
I eventually got into talent scouting
I was tellin my friends 2 years ago about how DaBaby will be the biggest rapper in the game
Im almost never wrong lol
Doja
Sampha
ABRA
Rico
This isn't day one imo and I don't listen to him much now but I remember listening to Yachty after a bunch of people started spamming "cold like minnesota" on ktt back in like january 2016
DaBaby. He had 100k Instagram followers when I followed him and his most popular song was either “Today” or “Pull Up Music”. The first song I heard by him was that joint with Money Man.
