this is off his own money, this is just a Griselda record
IMAGINE WHAT THE SHADY DEBUT IS GOING TO SOUND LIKE

he aint done a track with Dre or Kanye yet so you know those have gotta be goals too, esp with Virgil cosign and they already met Kanye and Gunn talks to him daily now

I'll be real with you. As much as I like and appreciate what Griselda does, if you grew up with New York gangster rap of the late 80s, 90s, 2000s, then Griselda is really nothing more than a revival of that.

Griselda is something like what Pro Era was in the early 2010s. A revival of dusty boom-bap beats and lyrics. Stuff like this is always going to get praise from the OGs as these are the essential pillars of hip-hop. They "restore the feeling". This time around however, it's on a much larger scale thanks how big streaming has gotten. Giving people more access.

So while I have yet to hear a Westside Gunn, Benny, or Conway project I dislike, and I do respect and love the movement, I really cannot help but roll my eyes at posts like the OP, or the constant screams of "IT'S THE CULTURE! Y'ALL DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CULTURE! THIS IS ART NOT RAP!" It's like please give it a rest...y'all are simple rap era revivalists. There are MANY like Griselda out there, and have been out there for years. There's nothing wrong with that. Calm down.

Never have we seen a startup from the ground up built that has unified the culture in such a way. These guys have done things other rappers have tried to do for decades in half the time. Never before have we had West coast, East coast, Southern, Canadian artists give so much respect and come together with each other to make music, show love, and push the game forward artistically and musically.

You may not notice it or think the impact or the introspect is that deep, but I promise if you take a closer look, you'll appreciate these guys individually and as a whole a lot more. Westside Gunn catches a lot of flak for his voice but what you cannot deny is that he has some catchy ass lines and an unmatched work ethic.He has an ear for beats and great business acumen. And once you realize that he is a persona and get over his voice, you will start to realize that his music is much better than you give it credit for. Once you dig into the background and the culture of Buffalo, d*** dealing, and prison life, you'll realize there is a lot more substance to these bars than surface level. It is simplistic but packs so much punch at the same time.

This is what hip-hop is all about. Coming from nothing and creating everything from it. This in itself is a blueprint that will be studied for generations to come once all is said and done.

Griselda is pretty overrated on the internet. Talk about consistency when they make the same song over and over again. They aren't special at all just 90s nyc rap all over again but average. Benny cool tho
