Untouchable > the Diary > the World is Yours btw

and My Homies Pt. 1 is a personal fav - i would personally put it over the world is yours

then the fix is #5 for me

drake

Jeezy rick Ross and the game are not wack lmao

I never listen to lloyd before

Spark master tape

Lil ugly mane

Waka flocka (believe it or not but he released more than flockavelli)

Game was the first rapper that came to mind. Happy to see Ross here as well.

Banks is not commercially known

KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMEONE

Bro back in HS (showing my age) we used to bump wakas mixtapes religiously, lebron flocka James Ferrari Boyz etc. RIP slim dunkin

You are real asf for that, all my friends and I did the same. Would burn CDs before going to school even, blast every new tape in weight training/gym classes n s***

Felt like everybody everywhere was bumping Waka by the time duflocka rant 2 dropped. Now most people forget he existed

If he didn't get all in his feelings and go lyrical, then basic ass edm, he would be future level rn

Good ass answer

Chris Travis

Diego Money

21 Savage

Young Nudy

Lucki

Earl Sweatshirt

To answer the OP I'd say big sean, nav, probably some underground artists like zodiak, armani and redda, maybe lancey foux too

Redman

Tbh that's probably true, bro was in the same lane as future but earlier and was making just as good music, the whole brick squad was fire. Waka probably jus got tired of the street s*** which is understandable

Blew up earlier and faster yeah, idk if future debuted just after or before Waka tho

Waka went lyrical because people started doing the "lil Wayne would be working at McDonald's if 2pac was alive" thing to him

But no one wanted to listen to his lyrical tapes because his fan base didn't need him to "prove" himself. Then he decided he wanted to be an EDM molly rapper but the music was all fast food edm then ig he just quit. Every other year I hear something about flockavelli 2 but I ain't holding my breath

Damn yea it also felt to me like that lane was pretty saturated, also had juicy j doing the sound rly well and an infinite number of Atlanta/Chicago artists

HFM is one of the most commercially successful debut albums in hip hop history lmao

Juicy took off where Waka left off

Then completely fumbled it with some good and bad stuff that basically no one cares about lmao. At least he got that bag

My dreads shakin left n right my dreads shakin left n right my dreads shakin left n right

• Mainstream wise: UGK
• Overall: Ka

this sound has evolved a lot tbh, like with these glo beats an s***, listening rn to a beat i made jus this morning that waka would probably body, like some osamason type s***

Wouldn't say he fumbled it tbh

In his book he talked about how he wanted to go back to the Memphis sound and how he wanted to stop touring for a little while so he could settle down and start a family. Unfortunately his mainstream buzz fizzled out because of that, but I commend him for doing what he felt was right in his heart

And his beats are still top notch

I am only commenting on the mainstream buzz aspect, I enjoy an ass load of post stay trippy juice. Obv not all there were some stinkers

In the sense you're bringing up, that's the same for Waka really

I'm happy the dudes got their bag and are happy doing what they want, but picturing the 2020s with those two up alongside future is pretty saddening
