Thing is that s*** didn’t help him at all lmao
It made it bad cause he an atl streeet niggas now niggas who tapped in know but majority of the world called him gay. And he was selling 17k weeekly it wasn’t until the world started to under stand who he is before he really took off.
Which is funny yall build up a nigga for being a street nigga then tear him down for the same thing
It didnt help him with selling records but it helped his brand and helped him attract two types of key fanbases. 1, hipsters and 2, white meme kids
Ok once again you’re bringing up stuff that happened in late to mid 2014 as far as those tapes go.
Headlines doesn’t sound like ATL at all lol
Again, you’re using a 2012 song acting like blog raps weren’t also sharing the wave. You keep bringing up hits like Gucci and them had hits in 2006-2009 and yet people still cared about other subgenres of rap probably even more. These guys were solely known for being club rappers especially in NYC.
Honest def had bangers but that was just it, bangers. Niggas didn’t call Future a GOAT like that yet until the 3 mixtapes dropped.
Ross and Khaled aren’t the same thing that i’m saying either since I’m talking about “the new ATL.” I’m talking about Thug, Migos, Rich Homie, Metro, and them.”
if I didn’t use that time, then Wayne was carrying the genre next to Ye and even T-Pain had a major run and even helped shift the sound of genre that Ye used on a feature with a southern artist as he came out of depression to drop 808s
a sound that Drake and many other artists now heavily utilizes and he from Tallahassee Florida
and if you talking about Metro, 808 mafia and them, they helped carry hiphop and introduce a new sound that mixed that old school trap sound Gucci was on, with the futuristic s*** Kanye/Wayne-T-Pain were on, with the already futuristic sound that was happening in ATL with a new trap sound cause of Lex and they all moved as new ATL in the mid 2010s where even Travis was able to go under the mentoriship of a southern legend who was the only one willing to put money behind him and thrive heavily from the south supporting him first (and we see where Travis is now with the sound he developed in…ATL) and denying that and it’s impact cause some other niggas happened to not drop is just being ignorant but maybe it was different where you from lmao
Gucci discovered Nicki first and boosted her first tape without signing her and French ran to the south for a lot of hits after Max went to jail
Spotify launched in 2011, Beats Music was 2014, and there were other apps like RDIO, Pandora, etc
damn RDIO thats a throwback
i remember my dad showing me i was like
The gimmicks appeared artistic when the music was generational. When the musics just throwaways it returns to a gimmick
Thug told yall already what he was about a decade plus ago. I feel like this whole prison stint made niggas forget about what he said on Mike Brown
!https://youtu.be/l8kjb94q0KM?si=bTQtNlOkfj2dAP7GI dont even think most these rappers even conservatives, just the biggest endorsers of capitalism. They capitulate to whoever is on the winning side because it brings the most money. (Every rapper was an O-halfy fan when he was on top) Not to sound bill o reilish but, lotta these niggas dont read so I dont think they would even understand alotta that s***.
Ppl like Thug and other street rappers only politics they remotely care about is hood politics since thats the only kind that directly affects them. None of these social movements effect them cause they got too much money for such.
That's why the white power structure likes to platform them so much. They are the epitome of what they want. A dude that doesn't think just consumes and encourages others to do so.
Those bars shocked me and not because of him spamming the hard r, it shocked me because we’re witnessing street niggas implementing tiktok brain rot meme esque bars into songs, literally sounds like an AI meme some white kid would make, yeah this s***s cooked ngl.
But I think there’s a bigger topic here and it’s getting to the point that I would say most street niggas are republicans, I mean really think about it. They’re mostly gun loving downlow homophobes that would align with or snake anyone for a dollar and kill another black person for relatively no reason. Sound familiar?
Hood niggas aren’t the best example of what the hood is at all, it’s white peoples favorite example of the hood. I mean who you think put them on tv and radio? Not black people, we don’t want thugs representing us as a whole. But then when you remember what this dudes name is and what he represented and who backed him it seems way more deliberate than just hey look at this weird black dude from Atlanta.
🗣️
Hope his album flops
I don’t think you have to hope lmao cause from what I’m seeing most people not fw this
First week sales are gonna be ok just due to the controversy but second week expect a huge drop off

if it wasn’t for southern producer Lex Luger in 2011 and souther artist Rick Ross, we don’t get DC1 in 2011 and DC2 in 2012
man ight. the south gonna always have the pulse, it just is what it is but other regions are legendary too lmao
These niggas aint start paying attention to thug until smf man lol
thanks for reminding me to listen to SMF again
its been so long
I’m not mad that thug wanted to have a concept, but when you open the door for this dialogue pls pls pls have something of substance to back it up. never was looking for thug to come with some deep ass concept either, but this was not a fully cooked idea. I don’t even wanna finish the album off that song alone. what kills me is he was f***in cookin on that hoe too, til that last part

J Cole is from North Carolina, one of the big 3 of the last 15 years and dropped a classic mixtape in 2010 and is Jay-Z’s prodigy. Even HOV had to run down south for a big bag and force Columbia to drop J. Cole
that’s forward thinking on southern impact

Words from someone that aint from here, lived here, sniffed here.
Your rewriting history because you mad at Thugger aint necessary dawg.
Like you can just say “yo f*** Thugger” without all this “yo Atlanta’s literally hitler” extra s*** dawg
I’m not even saying that lol all I’m saying is that new ATL’s influence did more harm to the quality of hip hop culture than it did to help it and I’m standing on that.

Crazy how I’m solely talking about ATL and you’re talking a nigga from North Carolina that sounds more like an NYC rapper than anything else

J. Cole got his first Grammy from ATL artists and has seen a major benefit from establishing his his label with ATL artists which is considered one of the best labels in recent rap years so

Once again i’m talking about THE NEW ATL. Carti, Yachty, Migos, Thug, etc.

Now we’re just getting off topic lol it’s aight i’m standing on what I said and everything you’re now saying isn’t making any sense to defend your point.
Once again i’m talking about THE NEW ATL. Carti, Yachty, Migos, Thug, etc.
if we focus on the new ATL
Migos have a collab tour with the biggest rapper
21 has a collab album with the biggest rapper
Thug can get the biggest rapper to do basically anything for him
Cole got his first Grammy from 21
Yachty is the reason for 2-3 Drake albums in the last 4 years
The biggest rap beef has a west coast rapper using a key verse that is an entire shoutout to new ATL to lock in his point
I mean idk what you tryna say. the biggest rap beef has a bar about a county I went to high school in during new ATL and you saying they would have had no impact cause some albums didn’t drop?

everything you are saying is proving my point. All of this was possible because there was room for these niggas to takeover. What’s so hard to see with that? 2014 was their year of dominance because the heavy hitters and those with a buzz did not drop.
Everyone saw one region dominating and decided to hop on the wave because of it. The ASAP mob, Drake with IYRTITL/WATTBA, niggas hatin on TPAB and SMHG changing to TLOP are huge examples of that.
