and they proudly refuse to listen to the music to even know what it sounds like on a niche music nerd forum

never got an answer for this lmao

He's not even in bb 100. He's still in bubbling. Central Cee is still more popular and barely has any hits

Not really a fan of his voice tbh.

Bruh is making 2017 sounding raps

hey I appreciate you giving it a shot though!

Tbh this and Rottweiler have pretty dated drum patterns but everything else is fresh af production wise

His voice is so good tho I can’t get over it

Now?

I smell a lil nas x situation where this guy blows tf up and then falls off a cliff shortly after.

not saying that won't happen but the situations are pretty different

lil nas blew up off a meme song and his first project had the value of "oh wow the meme guy actually can make normal music that's pretty decent" vs esdeekid already having a project that's well regarded with multiple songs gaining traction

What’s telling you this vs something like yeat

I get what you’re saying but it’s not thaaat different.

Most of the discourse is the Timothee Chamalet meme & his accent, not the actual songs.

I like a few of the tracks. Especially ‘Mist’. But I don’t see him having actual longevity internationally compared to other acts out there

I feel like Yeat came up with a new sound not heard from anyone at that time (bnyx instrumentals, weird flows etc.)

Apart from esdeekids accent, there is not too much of a difference between this and other jerk trap rappers in the UK.

Not hating tho, would be cool to see someone from the UK have staying power.

There’s quite the dif I disagree heavily lol his flows and how he raps pulls wayyy more from road rap the music is much darker in general and he’s not rly doing just jerk beats it’s a variety of stuff

Do you think Lil Nas X failed because he wasn’t innovative

I think he failed because he spent a year pushing a meme parody as his debut single and then let it define his career

Naa lil nas x had a wide fan base then he started doing weird s*** which lowered his fan base to a very small specific niche

You’re like right on the edge of falling off when you have a song as undeniably catchy as Old Town Road right out the gate, it’s nearly impossible to continue near that level

Speaking of Lil Nas, I fully believe that Trent Reznor’s musical DNA clicks with Lil Nas’s subconscious in such a way that spawns really strong song compositions, and that if he kept hopping on fun simple beats that sampled Trent he’d be in the highest echelon of megastars rn. A bit biased cause Trent is a goat of mine but I’d say that bias is why I can see the vision

It’s a different game now bruh you gotta sit this one out lmao these kids nowadays don’t have lasting power but it’s a new format that’s gonna be happening from here on out

2Chainz could never if he dropped now

30 is young

Diamond* and Tezzus are in their late 20’s

Flavor of the month type artists they not moving like tittyboi

and 2 chainz is a flavorless rapper let’s keep it a stack

Took him four years to drop T.R.U. and five to drop TRU story

That s*** don’t matter lmaoo those nobody’s you named never gonna amount to 2Chainz fr

You’ve been wrong abt rappers all the time and so have I

Bite your tongue

esdeekid saved hip hop

mkgee saved rnb

nobody doin it like the whites
