    perfectly of his time

    dont think any part of his career across music and tv would have the same impact if it happened now

    Also this though

    I can see what @OP means in that Action Bronson is strangely like a rapper personification of KITH/Aime Leon Dore, indebted to 90’s hip hop sounds but aesthetically is a late 2000’s/early 2010’s looking white hipster. He hits all of the things that naturally are kinda popular today and has the complexion and taste/humor to have a lifelong certain type of fan

    But i think he’d kinda be stuck in a niche because things like f*** that’s delicious could have only happened in that first half of the 2010’s

    Wow this guy’s voice sounds like this other guy’s voice i will discredit his work on account of that

    GFK and Bronson are two very distinct vibes and I’m either in the mood for one or the other. Never understood this criticism

    Ok tbf a lot of people are discrediting him because gfk not only said the same thing but recorded himself calling up action Bronson and telling him he’s a ripoff and sucked lol Personally i always thought they were different enough tho

    I mean objectively Bronson was correct Ghostface was not rapping at that level anymore in 2015 lol

    Bronson just got unlucky and f***ed with the wrong guy lmao

  • action brunson

  • Lil Uzi Horizontal

    Forum posters always s***ting on

    Action for sounding like Ghost

    or

    Droog for sounding like Nas

    for like a decade.

    You haven't grown or updated your tastes or takes in like 10 years of heavy online posting. Cmon son

    Truthfully, they just don't listen to enough of either. If they did they'd know it's truly just a similar sounding voice because their flows and delivery are very different. Then when you get to beats and lyrics it's extremely obvious they're nothing alike lol

    Maybe it's just that I've listened to both for so long that I've even noticed their voices aren't even all that similar. Feel like that take has been gassed beyond belief by people who really never took much time to listen to either.

    Like I'm sorry but the differences are very apparent voice-wise, flows, deliveries, and inflections.

    It's lowkey a very lazy comparison to make when you actually listen to them and know better lol

    The GFK style died after they did Meteor Hammer. His voice started changing and he developed a lazier flow that was a mix of Meyhem, Evidence and Roc Marci.

    This is when he really took off and linking with Alc helped.

    But his timing was perfect.

    Everyone says Action is just Ghostface but no one ever got on Joey Badass for being so derivative lol just because there’s not as easy of a vocal comparison

    Joey was sounding like Mos Def joining Wu Tang

    You think so?

    Optimus prime level reach. Yes, Joey is Neo Dust but he’s not replicating one rapper’s whole cadence & flow

    Kinda interesting i was listening to Tim Dillon and he mentioned he was approached for a show similar like action Bronson’s/Anthony bourdaines but he turned it down. I always wondered like why lol is there something disingenuous about it. Not with bourdaine tho because he kinda invented that whole route.

  • May 30, 2024

    I think he’s perfect

    He’s really a TikTok moment away from being in every ig post we see

  • May 30, 2024

    Top 15 MC of his gen btw

    Takes punchline rapping to another paradigm

    besides bourdaine obviously, i think you could make an argument that action has pushed that sub genre of traveling and eating with your friends the furthest

    definitely inspired a bunch of other clones

    He's so hard to box in as an artist
    He also paints
