Nah I doubt it. That would’ve only lasted so long.

I always thought Young Pappy also could've been pretty big too

How is Durk untouchable when Von was on his ass after rapping for a year

U didnt reply to any of my points

A lotta niggas prefer herb to Durk especially before Von got out of jail and Durk went on his 2nd run and L’a coulda easily been in that conversation too and would have been, even if he died maybe 2 years later than he did

I hate when niggas just say dumb ass s*** then when u explain how its dumb they just be like nah

Legit irritating

Cause he was running with Durk and his image a small minority preferred Herb to Durk. Even in Chicago it’s been like that. I don’t think he would’ve most of these niggas burnt out by 2016 anyway.

Saying La wouldn’t had been Sosa or Durk status or better isn’t a dumb take at all

Bro this why I hate drill stans lmao. Niggas get mad tight when discussing them like them their blood brothers n s***. Next niggas go say Pappy could’ve been up there too.

Random but I still think herb is 100% better than durk and it’s never been close at least from a rapping and artistry standpoint

it’s tough to say honestly bc of how short his career was

Imagine Von and LA on a track 😭

Besides music LA had the IT factor. As soon as you see him you like him. Same with Von.

Durk was awkward in the early days. His it factor is new as his image evolved, he grew his hair and got into fashion etc.

LA’s career could be in a similar spot as Keef. They blew their load early while artist like Durk and Herbo grew and experiencing peek popularity at the moment.

100%

He probably would’ve been bigger than Durk, but Keef was already up there in terms of mainstream relevance by the time Capone came up.

It took durk to be nearing 30 to really become a recognizable figure in the mainstream

Bruh could’ve been Meek level highkey

Thats not true there are hella people who are with Durk just as much like Booka who arent nearly as popular as Durk and Durk took influence from Von too, Durk didnt diss niggas by name nearl as much until Von got home thats facts

And Im talking about rap in general not within Chicago, and thats not facts Herb was performing just as well as Durk until Durk really hit the gas recently, so theres no proof to say it was a “small minority” when they were both putting up similar #s and Durk and Herb both played the same venues when they come to my city

And you said L’a woulda stayed a shorty compared to Keef and Durk which is stupid, you can try and act like u just said Durk and Keef woulda been bigger but u downplayed L’a when u literally have no way to know what L’a would be doing now, but he died basically at 16 years old and still has impact today so whose to say he woulda burned out by 2016 maybe he woulda but theres literally nothing that leads to show that, u have no idea how his music coulda continued to progress he was literally still getting better when he died

I’m not even saying he would be bigger than Durk bc Durk has went on an amazing run but to say L’a woulda been a shorty compared to Durk is dumb and disrespectful, because L’a wouldn’t have even wanted to be under Durk he literally turned down an OTF deal and Keef is a legend but he’s out the way of current mainstream music, u cant really compare Keef to any of them he put them all on the map

That’d be like if Durk died in 2012 and we only had I’m Still A Hitta and I was saying Durk didnt have any potential to be a star, like u literally dont know what improvements an artist can make and L’a was already snapping

I love Herb but hes more hit or miss, Durk has been very consistent for the last 4 years

Exactly Durk had time to progress

L’a didn’t and was already a star anyways, imagine what he woulda been with progression. I mean of course theres a possibility he woulda fell off or something but to lean that way is dumb there was nothing to show that

I feel like while durk is consistent he hasn’t met the quality standard that herb set when he hits a high if that makes sense like I honestly feel like durk doesn’t have an album or tape better than ballin like I’m kobe, welcome to fazoland and maybe ptsd.

Ballin Like I’m Kobe isnt even good to me really, Welcome To Fazoland is a classic for sure and Ptsd was pretty good but not better than Durks music imo, i respected the concept of the album but the production and rapping felt a little too lowkey imo

Herb was snapping more rap wise on 25 but not the whole album imo

Herb a better lyricist than Durk but Durk make better music imo and Durks lyricism has drastically improved and the gap isnt very big between them imo

stts up there imo

Even Durk new s***

I was playing The Voice a s*** ton

Wow that’s interesting I always felt like herb really came into his own ballin like I’m Kobe and refined his lyrics on ptsd. I can agree rn durk might have a slight edge musically but lowkey that might be because he plays it rather safe which isn’t a bad thing at all I put him in the same category as youngboy where you can kinda predict where they’re gonna go next with each project.

Funny i walk to the store and they blasting von rn

Von demon image is one of the reasons he was popping. That’s the one thing fans was clutching on. It even benefited Durk, Durk fans even acknowledge it. Durk was always more popular than Herb. Did we forget that mini mainstream run from 2014-2016 with his fake relationship with Dej and his album? Herb was always around but not touching Durk when it came to popularity. I didn’t downplay La, I said he’s dope but he wasn’t going to pass them dudes up. That’s just being 100, you can f*** with him and acknowledge that it probably wasn’t going to happen. When I said he was a shorty I don’t mean it the way you thinking. I just meant he wouldn’t be on that level they’re on.

I couldn’t get into von tbh felt morally wrong at one point I know that hypocritical considering I like drill but murder was his selling point and he capitalized off that by any chance
