Lmaooo swag

this comment should be pinned

[@leoparderratic]

Sosa was really ahead of his time, everyone forgets about how experimental he was back in his prime. I honestly think he's in a new prime, I think his rapping is better than ever.

[@bloodomen2794]

n his new beat selection, songs like tony montana, tuxedo and etc is his best sound rn

[@ASTR47]

​@@bloodomen2794that tony montana beat is so fucking hard

[@realcade]

Keef been in his bag since 2021

[@michaelmentality]

he’ll never top 2012 Sosa

[@Andy-td8eo]

Now you have Durk who is dominating right now

[@mpawli10]

man jus said dat chief keef is known as a 1 hit wonder by most rap fans..... this is not the channel for me lol😂😂😂

[@sludgepls]

Mfs just be saying shit man.

[@imromani]

bro chatting

[@trompeur1044]

i dont like and faneto are other big tracks tbf, so one hit is disingenuous. however, he ain't really had a big track since '15

[@EpicSeps]

Chief Keef aint faded into obscurity tho. People still hyped (along w myself) about AS2 (if it drops lmao)

[@prettylaurynn]

That’s a big if Lmaoo he months past his date Lmao

[@iNuvo1892]

For the internet part. I would have to give you a fact check. Souljaboy was the first and not even tryna be funny but he was the first to be earning and changed the way rappers and labels would handle music being distributed, he was also the first to start making money on KZbin, he was getting .15 cents a view and .7 cents a comment. Don’t believe me . Look up the video when he was beefing with ice T. That’s when he exposed KZbin and put us on game to make money.

[@rishavfash1r]

you right

[@PoryGoon]

It doesn't matter bro music journalists have always just been making stuff up re: the history of music, artist influence etc.

[@johngrovesIII]

yeah soulja boy literally was putting in work in those early youtube days, it was so scarce atp he really the first rapper that took social media by storm. his lack of awareness regarding his own carrer hindered his growth.

[@glasscolors8006]

Bones, Xavier Wulf, Chris Travis, Eddy Baker. All ahead of their time and stay ahead of their time.

[@questtherebelgaming]

You forgot to mention that lil b was part of "The Pack" the rap group who made the "Vans" song, i used to bump them heavy lol

[@MustangAlex69]

If I could meet any rapper, without a doubt, it would be Chief Keef.

[@SethTraplifeGLO999]

Chief Keef, Lil B and Soulja Boy >>>>> Tupac, Biggie and Jay-Z Straight up!!!

[@prettylaurynn]

On influence HELL YEAH

[@marcosgonzalez8219]

No way you called Nav a legend 3 times bro lmaoooooooo

[@jbke]

He is a legend fym

[@SethTraplifeGLO999]

NAV BEST RAPPER! LOL!

[@SethTraplifeGLO999]

Roscoe dash got done dirty and deserved more shine

[@-AxisA-]

Imo 36 mafia laid the base and fundamentals for trap in the 1990s with their dark sound, triplets and deep sometimes aggressive 808s, but Lil B & Speakerknockera were the grandfathers of the more mainstream trap sound today and Chief Keef is the grandfather of todays drill. Thought Chief Keef has influenced the more mainstream sound today too and Drill can be considered pretty mainstream today too.

[@Don_Salieri1899]

Keef was even influencing his opps in drill

[@dot.gnarly]

Ecen tho 36 were pioneers they werent the only ones nor first, i wiuld even say tommy wright is far more importsnt in memphis

[@21_God]

3-6, Tommy Wright and the whole Memphis 90s scene inspired T.I., Gucci, Jeezy, etc to start trap in the 2000s, then by 2010 Waka Flocka inspired Keef and Keef and the whole Chicago 2010s scene made drill, Lil B inspired people on stuff like meme rap, heavy internet promotion, talking about literally anything in your music, low budget music videos, etc and all the other stuff in the video; Speaker Knockerz also inspired being independent, heavy internet promotion, being a new age rapper+producer and melodic rap, they all did something, they all inspired in their own ways, and there’s many others who also helped shape modern rap like Future, Young Thug, Kanye, Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi, Yung Lean, Odd Future, A$AP Mob, Raider Klan most importantly SpaceGhostPurrp, and now kids are taking notes from people like Lil Uzi, Playboi Carti, NBA Youngboy and Kodak

[@-AxisA-]

@@21_God Well said

[@StatiCRjm]

Lil Wayne actually has the most visible impact on hip hop, to categorize him as just one of the many others that had impact is weird.

[@XoRaider]

This video is GOATED. It’s crazy I got into SK a couple months before he passed, one of the biggest what ifs in hip hop. Also crazy him and Sosa had issues cuz if those two made music together, BRUH. But Lil B is an underground GOAT, but you are hella correct with it’s either you highly respect him or think he’s absolute trash. But the BasedGod is forever GOATED, TYBG. 🙏🏼

[@bLEACHeye]

It's incredible how many random folks I hear say based, not knowing where it's from

[@moneyyjamal]

Bro where is spaceghostpurrp

[@SethTraplifeGLO999]

Zach Farlow was so far ahead of his time its sad 😅😢. He got a great sound and already has a bunch of amazing music already out, people just need to hear it!

[@yerkluvr]

chief keef needs his flowers

[@BiggRich95]

Lil b most iconic and legendary everybody got swag from lil b he bought fun and his own style to rap i loved him from 2009-2023

[@prettylaurynn]

The sucker punch boosted his career . He didn’t go into hiding . He made a video the next day explaining the situation then dropped “the pretty bitch is back” the SAME DAY . That sneak attack elevated his career . Never went into hiding

[@fatboydee2806]

crediting Keef for popularizing "aye" as if OJ Da Juiceman doesn't exist is just crazy

[@TannerGoated]

Oj def was one of the first Fs . But keef said he didn’t get it from him got it from his uncle . And keef is way more influential than oj

[@cbgthekid]

Chief Keef may have made repeating ad-libs popular in hip-hop but there's been ad-libs in Hip Hop since back when Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg were making The Chronic

[@medusanineseven]

you should’ve included the lil b curse lol

[@1of1nujra]

TYBG 🙏🏽

[@NaomiYoutube]

more like ty gaylord , now we got rappers dressing feminine while still pretending to be tough 💀lil uzi K

[@jwood8769]

I’m a be honest you should of gave Waka Flocka an honorable mention because he was definitely a heavy influence in the people like Chief Keef and Bobby shmurda

[@21oxypopper]

chief keef can't fall off

[@fatgumball7599]

Numbers wise he did fall off. Ppl sadly only know finally rich

[@Effy00000]

who said chief keef fell off lmaoo

[@Effy00000]

4nem was great

[@Envious98gaming]

Wintertime was ahead of his time DONT @ me

[@rememberda4736]

Damn I wish you had mentioned Yung God from Ocean Gang. He was apart of that Based Era alongside Lil B. Hell Lil B still gets credit for that Caillou Freestyle which is Yung God’s song

[@highartist2225]

Hip hop legend nav 😂 what type time u on ?

[@ZikNoogie]

Speaker Knockerz would still be a staple in the industry today. His producer tag it’s the Speaker Knockerz was goated he coulda been like Kanye minus bein unhinged. Kid was a legend with so much potential, shit hurt me when he passed

[@questtherebelgaming]

RIP Speakerknockerz !!!

[@sosssaaa]

long live SK🙏🏽💔 sosa & sk really the goats

[@kgbigdola]

Speaker knockerz was so underrated. He was the first rap artist i ever listened to and put me onto the rap genre! I will respect no artist as much as speakers.

[@Ardamisc]

Kind of wild Soulja Boy isn’t in this video cause I would say he is actually the first rapper to do vlogs and stuff like that.

[@timbsatyowedding]

glotoven has to be one of chief keef's most underrated albums

[@Don_Salieri1899]

Bro sosa influence was so prevelent even the opps from 63 and tookaville were remixing his songs (like lil jojo with bdk) all those gd rappers sounded just like keef and he had all the bds and gds wearing the polo shirts and true religions jeans he put o block on the map and was best friends with von back then but vons cousin bosstop stole sum guns from sosa so von and keef distanced themselfs unfortunately and also lil durk was the one who switched up on keef bc he was tripping that sosa was the only smart one who wanted to make it out the hood and distance hisself. Also you should mention g herbo and lil bibby because they put alot of people on like PGF Nuk and Juice wrld

[@talensmith573]

The fact future isn't on here is wild. Monster was dropped in 2014 and all the songs sound brand new. His sound shaped the future of rap

[@rickylucia7598]

That lil b verse on grove st party is absolutely legendary

[@wokeloc261]

Bro 2013-17 sosa was crazy he got a song with travis.

[@cxshcam160]

Jus missing souljaboy he was the real first internet rapper

[@burritoboy7666]

love ur vids but can u adjust the bass in ur voice lol always gotta turn my speakers down *insert soulja boy im not yo daddy turn yo speakers down*

[@dior5tar]

you need to do more research on sosa bro i see why purrp acted the way he did towards you

[@rishavfash1r]

bruh it was j a rough backgroudn not a full video

[@nycedyme4]

Need more young black creators speaking on our culture…son think chief keef was the first one with that ad lib style 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mrbradley1]

SK, Sosa, Ye, Lil B all from Chi & all so ahead of their time, trend/ sound setters

Drain gang and rcb will always be ahead of the time bruh

[@scoobydoofus3000]

Just from the thumbnail prob my favorite vid ever💯💯😭🙏🙏

[@smallBaiBi67_8]

For a part 2: Metro Zu They hardly need a mention Ruben Slikk aesthetic and style from early 2010s is like was reprised by everyone from the 2016-2017's wave Even at rapping, he was talking bout some argoments in the same wave that rappers did later and do nowadays All of this in like 2011, 2012 or 2013 I think that people wants to forget about the fact that he's a father for the recent generations of rappers for all the illegal shit that he did in recent years Glad that lil peep divided the person from the music Some of Lofty305's productions are the reason why some great nowadays producers are in the game right now Ocean Gang Probably someone can say that they were influenced in a exaggerated way by Lil B It's true but is all cool since Cartier God predicted Slayworld style and a lot of shit in the early 2010s Even Yung God was on of the first to be into Lil B during years like 2012 or before when Lil B's influence wasn't understood Divine Council They come later compared to the other groups that I've quoted However Silkmoney and Cyrax flows combinations with ICYTWAT's productions were and still are something unique that probably won't be lost now or in the future Glad that a legend like Andre3K recognised it Awful Records Father's style and productions and Ethereal's productions are sometimes pretty underrated Even Tommy Genesis prime days were pretty unique As a collective, they had an important impact for that typical alternative rap or trap shit that is less recognised Early Luchelean from Goth Money Some of his style and flows have hardly influenced Playboi Carti's ones and probably he even doesn't know about lol I don't quote the other members of goth money or SGP becuase I think you already know bout that

[@k2a2l2]

great mentions, i hope theres a pt2 bc theres so much people don’t know about modern rap influences. id maybe put sybyr/syringe there too, i could be wrong af but i feel he really helped start that loud/distorted and dark trap sound

[@sippingblood]

sosa influence goes way further than just carti uzi and lil pump a lot of rappers td inspired by him and not jus drill his glo beats his sound still present in underground and more

[@WhoseAdam]

hey man you need to make a part 2 and talk about yung lean

The Chief Keef summary imo is a bit off. Keef still had people clamoring for music, the glo gang shit was and still popping also his branching out to various avenues such as production and gaming etc....idk how folks called him washed when he's really been consistent musically. I'm almost glad he's not a superstar because he can move how he wanna move without and interference or outside shenanigans

[@QHavin-y3l]

It’s the speaker knockers🤧

[@slattyski6618]

no one was more ahead of his time than Young Thug and that's obvious, his songs still futuristic to this day

haven’t watched the full video yet but 21 was too. 21 first few albums could be released now and sell crazy. he was way more experimental then and had a crazy variety of flows
