Personally I think the guy's super talented, came in with a unique sound and especially during that run of Almighty So, Finally Rich, Back from the Dead 2, Sorry 4 The Weight, and BigGucciSosa, I think he was coming with good to great rap projects that have aged quite well..

Some fans view it from a POV that after his first run, he kinda stopped locking in on albums, leading to lower quality projects.. But you also have the perspective that he was never THAT good, and just was so hot to the youth that his image and sound live on, despite not making quality music..

Feel how you feel, speak your mind, I wanna know the consensus on Sosa overall in 2026.

No keef did lose consistency for a long minute there, the whole beef with chop and whatever n ppl like fredo dying n reese being a weirdo etc.

He was a great "street" rapper, lost it for a while, then found a good middle ground

Pretty good overall, and his early years is what is influencial

I don’t mean to sound like those geeks who treat certain rappers like they’re mentally handicapped and hype up any lil thing they do to the max

But for a 16 year old, when u go back and listen to his early s***. The knack he had for delivery and flows was actually incredible. Nobody was rapping like that. Like just think about what Chicago rap sounded like 10 years prior to him first popping lol, nigga was advanced af

But to answer ur question yeah his influence is insane, that would be hard for anyone to live up to

I used to think this in real time until I started listening to the random ass mixtapes he was dropping lol bro had a few gems on each tape but also alot of mid

His influence and the persona/lore definitely are way bigger than people actually consumed his music after 2013. I remember the tape that Faneto Wayne and Earned It was on it was weird those was the only songs that popped frm it

Clearly

i guess

i loved almighty so 2 though

He is that good

But his discog is diluted with bloat

He's also very talented as a producer

No hes amazing too

One of my fav rappers ever and a lot of those projects have grown on me a ton over the years tbh.

And still Back From The Dead is a mt Rushmore mixtape for me

Definitely more influential than talented, but he is a talented individual nonetheless.

One of the most creative and interesting artists of our generation. That bag he got in after FR with tracks like Macaroni Time, Love No Thotties, How it Go is some of my favorite music ever. And he’s consistently put out really great s*** all these years

If anything he’s become underrated at this point

Absolutely not, he’s a very talented and great artist/producer. His run from 2012-2015 was an all timer. He was even able to make quality projects outside of his run as a late career resurgence (4NEM and Almighty So 2). He’s just got a very unique ear for music and can make something out of nothing as a producer or song writer.

he just has a lot of bloat but at his peak keef was creative af with his flows and everything hes goated for that

Theres really no artist like him

Hes really just about the music and not the other BS too

nah he was incredible at his peak

theres another rapper you could make this case about though but i wont say who..

If you wanted to be edgy you could say this in like 2016, the second act of his career has proven he’s really quite a talented all around artist with real longevity

you scared huh

You’re probably allowed to say this now bc no one likes him anymore

Purrp is the no 1 overall ‘more influential than good’ draft pick like its a comical disparity

Well said.

He was really good but the window was small. Its like 2010-2012 as far as being consistent

Also some of his fans are kinda delusional and don’t place any blame on Purrp himself

Also when u said purp i thought u were talking about smokepurp for a second lol
