True, I forgot about Boosie and Gates. I don’t mean he literally wouldn’t exist I’m just saying he was influenced by him.
I swear him saying he was influenced by Chicago as well. I could be wrong tho it might have been Quando.
Idc what he said Yb is 100% influenced by chicago
Everybody in that age range is

I don’t hear it tbh. The music YB is making now just a more polished version of the stuff he was making since he was like 15/16.
Yall think Durk just came out in 2018 thats yall problem
Durk was making classics when YB was in middle school
YB a durk stan
I’ve been listening to Durk since 2013 and I prefer YB
To be fair Durk has more impact on the industry bc the industry is based on connections and Youngboy has never been one to mingle with rappers. He was like 16 or 17 when he popped and already had the attitude of not reaching out to people for features.
can't find the video interview rn but If I'm remembering right he said that all the features he did are people reaching out to him not the other way around
Hmm I would disagree. That may be true if we are comparing relationships and industry friends. Durk started getting notoriety around 2012/13 and helped create a new genre and is considered a pioneer in the drill movement which has spawned imitations across the globe. If we poled many active rappers Durk would be listed as an influence.
YB influence has not been truly felt yet. The next batch of rappers getting out of high school may chalk their influence up to YB though. However, at this point we cannot say YB ushered a new sound in.
Durk is a solidified OG and pioneer.
Was just listening to this. I’d say Durk right now he been doing this s*** for years now. Paved the way and perfected that street melodic rap
Durk is better IMO - he has better projects overall. People also like to downplay Durk’s impact on music and culture as a whole but I think YB wouldn’t exist without Durk. Both are talented and both can exist in the same industry.
I disagree about that projects part, AI youngboy 2 better than every durk project

YoungBoy music has nothing to do with Durk smh
Ask yourself this would melodic street/drill music exist without Durk??
Which artist out of the two helped pioneer an entire sound and moved culture.
YB is talented and a case can be made form him but at this current level of impact on the industry he is no where near Durk.
Yes
I got YB by a hair but I listen to both heavy, both more versatile than they get credit for and got tons of great songs in their discographies. they were literally my top 2 most listened artists last year so I hate that they got irreparable beef

Durk was a joke musically he was making corny RnB love songs on def jam shot was super duper ass
Keef was the one making music for demons
even though durks been out for a decade he still dont got a project as good as 38 baby or until death call my name
YB. this from a day 1 Durk fan.
Durk had so many stages where I'm like alright this will be his hardest song/tape then he kept getting better. his longevity is crazy
but YB just undeniable rn. multiple no skip tapes. plus he's still improving too. two generational talents
