so if this guy gave this a 4.1 cus he’s “white and absorbing black influences” then why did he give ken carson a 4 as well and he’s actually black and from atlanta? lol

i was thinking of Eminem in comparison to these niggas too

dude was really one of a kind

It’s Alphonse lol I don’t take anything he says or writes seriously

its the white boy imitation of that twang in a nigga voice

The same logic as how “gyatt” became a thing or better yet how “trim” became a thing lmaooo i bet most niggas not from the south dont even know what “trim” is actually saying

I almost wish Em had a “i want to sound like atlanta” phase tho but he probably 10-15 years too old for tht to happen and not be cringey

This one is different because it worked even faster (and seemingly has a higher trajectory) than nettspend after we just saw them do nettspend

He definitely understands what he’s doing better than most of the white dudes doing this

Fundamentally clever bars that anyone pretty much can relate to + stays away from straight up pretending to be a d*** kingpin/gang leader

I can appreciate the strategy/execution of it at times. Its like the drake formula applied to a totally different scene

Asher Roth and niggas like that gotta be mad af that these dudes can unironically make this type of music when Asher Roth would have been stoned with pointy rocks for getting on a Shawty Redd D Rich Lex Luger Zay beat in real time 15 years ago

Meme culture seeped into niggas real thinking lol

You see this all the time on socisl media now lol niggas say somr blatantly ridiculous seemingly joke s*** and people will type paragraphs actually defending the logic. Its kinda scary fr everything’s a joke or trolling or “ironic” now lol

hit the nail on the head but I’m shamelessly playing airbnb as we speak

I know he’s been signed to bu/Columbia for a while, don’t know how long he’s gonna last cause he’s a straight rap artist but I think it’s highlighting how there hasn’t been gatekeepers in this s*** for a long time and that there’s been meticulous thought into pushing him

"foreseeable future"

hes not here to stay

everything when it comes to entertainment is just a “serious joke” for a lack of better terms cause this would not fly a decade ago

its not meant to be an objective rating / 10 + the score is the sum of all the staffs individual ratings i think

I don’t listen to Yeat like that but isn’t Ian 100% more shameless. I just listened to a song and it was just clear biting 🤢

now they have a plot for turbo 2

he is biting his ass off but the s*** is hard brother

ATL hasn’t even been ontop recently for claim like this. Idk what that KTT regular raps like tho …

A talking snail, let alone a rapping snail in a particular accent would be incredibly impressive. So im sure people would hype that up. I know I would.

I didnt know he been signed to bu.

Lmaoo that explains everything

Im interested in when he signed vs when they started rolling him out

Also hilarious someone like kaycyy signed to bu but they wont/cant do this for someone like him lol

I mean is kaycyy the type to even be marketed the same way as him? He’s an artist who is known as a writer, Ian is poppin off the strength of himself

I think kaycyy is amazing and talented but he’s hard to pin down stylistically, which most writers who are great struggle with when it comes to offering themselves as standalone artists

Ian could never make Turban
How quick some of you forget….

@edumist been descending to a rich man’s Melz for a minute, bro was d***riding baby kia.

Might have to put in that category of shut ins

me in 2021 w yeat
