[@mopar_keys]

Dominate what ?

[@ThatGuyTripod]

​@@mopar_keysshe's saying he'll continue to dominate HIS lane, because some artists don't even know who they are or what their sound is and that's why a lot of these new artists fall off.

[@mopar_keys]

@@ThatGuyTripod okay fair enough… but what’s his lane ??

[@ThatGuyTripod]

@@mopar_keys Gunna is a melodic trap artist, so usually his content is the standard flexing shit sprinkled with a few daily niggah problems, but his talent lies in his flows and melodies. It's also ironic because Young Thug and Lil Baby's biggest songs are both featuring Gunna but people always overlook him, which is probably his fault too because he likes making strip club music, but I guess everyone who digs his music is just hoping he goes on and continues to show more of his talent on music with messages like this project he dropped.

[@dueceybaby8023]

Talent is NOT what Gunna should be judged on. I’m not a street 🥷🏽, but Im from & move around the city. Gunna CHOSE a certain path. Nobody said he ain’t talented. It’s NOT authentic! That’s why the city riding with Thug so hard. Not because they’re scared, or love street niggas, but because he standing on the business that served him. As a GROWN MAN, at some point before you make it, you have to show that you’re capable of handling whatever position you’re in, in any walk of life. This internet make y’all lose all y’all marbles thinking you shouldn’t be accountable of certain things. And if any of this loses you. Picture it like this. Let’s say Gunna knew NOTHING about YSL streetlife. Prior to the RICO he was rapping as if he knew everything about it. So either he was faking the whole time, which is lame, or he’s disloyal to people who put him in position.

[@vlonelamik]

⁠​​⁠ this the dumbest shit I’ve heard. You do realize niggas mad because he admitted ysl was a gang but if you look up the definition of a gang it states a group of 3 or more people. Even when niggas be chillin they say I’m with the gang even in Scooby-Doo they call each other then gang lmaoooo so because he said it was a gang it’s snitching I don’t understand if he would’ve said they were a criminal enterprise or some shit I could understand but he didnt. Also that’s probably why he took the plea in the first place wording and everything in court means a lot which is the lawyers job to figure out exactly what someone is saying or said so they can find the loophole in it. So tbh he ain’t snitch. But niggas like you don’t do ya own research and just run with the first thing everyone else says what I call followers can’t think for themselves or do they own research before they speak on something.

[@jjordan6066]

[@MezsiaH]
