He is doing a Young Thug flow on the verses Of this song, ESPECIALLY after the first 1:30 or so. Every song after 2018 where he sing-raps with that fast/frantic flow going up and down in pitch with kinda tighter auto tune, that is DIRECT sonic influence from none other than Jeffery Williams.

Honestly I do agree that gates is a bigger direct contributor to Yb sound (even if a large portion of the similarity you as a listener notice is just that they have the same accent), but it’s way closer than is being said itt, and then crazy stuff like bringing up Wayne (over either of the other 2) is just dishonest

Thug literally changed the whole rap game f*** you talkin bout

The #pressure after this got me howling

But for real, you can see kevin gates style all over yb discog

Thug influencees so goated

bumpin this cuz of how much YB sounds like gates in this song (one of very many). s***s fire too

can't believe clown niggas itt really tried to convince themselves that YB ain't Gates son more than Thug

Ahh that’s why I don’t fw a lot of the YB melodies, this make a lot of sense now

still kills me

Niggas act like Gates ain’t influential
