the bar has never been lower and it has nothing to do with keem. the landscape is a catastrophe rn

youngboy is rapping circles around him let’s be honest

Neither are rapping circles around anybody. Especially not their forebearers like Gates and Kendrick

Yeah it’s a good album and I’m still excited for his tour but it didn’t really stick, not like melodic blue did at least

not much to go back to

he said under 30

and youngboy way better than gates

Was listening to Mother I Sober this morning and the line “I hope hykeem made you proud, cus you ain’t die in vain” made me really think about this album and no blame, so sad man

yb alive verse got it over kendrick control verse

Kanye has the best verse on alive tho

people not acknowledging youngboy’s talent as a rapper is pure classism

I thought it was good but there’s so much music in existence that being good doesn’t really warrant often revisits

We have access to countless classics so it’s kind of hard to justify

Is he lower class than all the rappers people agree are talented? Why?

Feels like Casino’s missing a necessary “hit” to make it stick. It’s a solid project, but there’s no Family Ties or 16 on it. Bit of a letdown if we’re being honest after a 5 year hiatus.

ask yourself

It's your cope. How would I be able to expand upon it?

I've listened to so many young street rappers over the years. It's like being told Hotboii or Youngeen Ace are the best rappers alive. I'm not sure why the narrative ever got pushed. It's just not true.

And no, he wouldn't win in a versus with Kevin Gates either. That's an artist with actual hit songs.

never thought a keem album would drop that i wouldn't listen to

ah yes youngboy doesn’t have actual hits or talent

what would i be coping about?

it’s clear that he’s been one of the most gifted rappers alive since he was 17

and throwing out names like hotboi or youngeen ace further proves my initial point about how you view artists with certain backgrounds or upbringings as beneath. not that they are anywhere near youngboy, someone like hotboii is clearly talented in his own right

gates is a legend but i think even he himself would recognize youngboy is a better rapper lol, how is this even a question

Who are his peers then? JayDaYoungan got murdered. He's not a pop rapper with pop hits like Kevin Gates was. Like Wayne was. You're the one s***ting on the guys I just brought up!

If you wanna say Boosie fine, but there are guys in this street tapper category who rap better than Youngboy like Herbo and Sauce Walka. There are guys who were on fire for a minute like Rio and Sada Baby.

This YB better s*** is fandom. That's all it's ever been. No different than Drake fans pretending people are biased against Drake. Or any other Standom.

dudes are arguing about f***ing nba youngboy in a thread dedicated to keem's album :vlosereave:

i was just tryna figure out who his favorite Sandler was

Does time bumping in these new Earbuds I copped from Nothing and this s*** bumping when the drums hit on Circus Circus

I don’t blame you momma
