I started hearing about Benny after Tana Talk 3 around late 2018/early 2019. I think they started buzzing huge around 2019 definitely
Hitler Wears Hermes one after another then FLYGOD dropped.
Irl they were doing fashion and putting out projects limited release style like fashion and doing that in upstate NYC and Atlanta both. Blueprinted the model for a lot of Bandcamp guys.
probably would say 2018 cuz supreme blientele and tana talk 3 definitely gave them a big surge
Idk somebody pmo in them in 2015/2016
Told me to peep Hall & Nash
Pmo Benny too, back when I would only see him when Griselda was doing radio freestyles
Rory and Mal era Joe Budden Podcast showing them a lot of love is how I got introduced to them
dont do that
wait i looked it up and this is actually a real situation
I started listening to them back 2015 and from what I remember 2018 was their breakout year
westsidegunn influenced drake to make scorpion
WSG would've gone crazy on 8 out of 10
Drake needs to tap in w/ him
they started w some buzz around 2018/19 with the HWH tapes and the Em/Shady cosign but i think Pray For Paris catapulted their names into the public consciousness on a bigger level
I remember seeing the album cover for Flygod in different places all the time, and finally decided to click on it. When I saw Danny Brown and Action Bronson were on it, I thought maybe it was worth checking out. I had only got to Dunks & Shower Shoe Lords, and just thought that all three of them were incredible. Was pretty blown away by all of them and have just kept up with everything they have dropped up to this point.
I heard about them late 2015 when Alc, Danny Brown and Planet Asia were sharing their stuff.
I think the breakout tape was Flygod but Plugs I Met was when the masses started paying attention.
P4P is when I heard of Gunn but really I don’t remember I think somebody might’ve mentioned the cow it was definitely from here though
wait i looked it up and this is actually a real situation
Nahhhh it’s just Gunn bs claiming everybody copy him
As if the scorpion is trademarked
