Reacting to "Finally Rich" by Chief Keef

the craziest thing is that it feels like Chief Keef is on the scene since ever and he still is only 28yo which means he is younger than many rappers to whom he is basically a "father" because he was and still is main influence for modern trap and also drill

That, and the fact that he released this at 17, which means he probably made a lot of it when he was still 16. Bro influenced an entire generation of music before he was even an adult.

your analysis at 21:06 was spot on. back in highschool, my friends and i would blast this shit while driving around and replacing the lyrics with names of people we were beefing with at school 😂 it was very cathartic

[@rocknlolify]

yep a lot of rap applies to this, ambiguously relatable lyrics. bob called it 🔥

[@travishenderson9635]

The intro is legendary. Someone probably already mentioned it but, that was not Keef on the intro to Love Sosa. That was just a fan talking shit in a car while chilling with his friends. His boy recorded it because he was fired up. Keef saw it and liked it sampled it for his debut. Hes actually had that kid come on and perform the intro before he does Love Sosa live a few times. You can find it on here.

[@bobthepoppop]

That's awesome that he brought him on stage!

[@woeexplicit8219]

Discovering him through this album as a teen was like watching LeBron enter the league, revolutionary

[@luiscamposano4316]

This album gave birth to the drill movement, so influential

[@olavderuijter8153]

Never understood why this is considered drill this is just trap music, pop smoke and fivio are drill artists but those beats are influenced from the uk

[@sthompson12132]

because the UK Drill artists started calling their music Drill long after Chicago Drill…Keef was influenced by Waka Flocka / 808 Mafia Sound…UK/Global Drill is influenced by Chicago Drill in subject matter…

It's insane how influential this album is coming from a 16 year old rapper. Basically paved the way for chicago drill / trap and then you have songs like Citgo who were HATED on released and end up being the norm with all the souncloud rappers doing Cloud rap and even rappers like Carti in a sense..

[@bobthepoppop]

I love Citgo, but I suspect a lot of that love comes from my being a fan of Aphex Twin

[@gravv2949]

As a major chief keef fan, I was definitely tweakin when you started off unsure with his music lol. Glad you opened up to it all. Yes, Chief Keef is considered drill, but he's also thrown under trap and other genres as well. If you listen to more of his music though, you would be surprised how versatile and experimental he is. And these versatility/experiential differences are easily heard in his "sound". Each album will be different from the last and in each of those albums, he will stay consistent to the current sound he is experiementing with, while typically having a song or 2 that doesn't quite fit in. So I think you would find it facinating how an artist can change his sound so much, while lyrically, staying within a range of what he usually raps about. He does grow lyrically too, but his real growth is with his sound. He eventually starts producing his own beats which helps with that also.

[@McDiesel27]

For sure. Honestly I think he would like some of his other albums better than finally rich

[@jsmokee7933]

I wouldnt even consider finally rich a drill album besides a couple songs.. his old tapes were.. and a few of his tapes after finally rich were but finally rich isnt really drill imo

[@franlymatias6942]

It’s funny because he really did change he’s become much more obscure and hidden now but doesn’t lead the same life he did. One of the only artists from this genre in Chicago who survived this long sadly. One of the most influential artists of the last 10 years.

Thanks for giving this album a chance, I'd say Chief Keef is my favorite musical artist and its really cool to see someone unlike me give their new perspective on something I've heard countless times Honestly, love sosa is a classic but id be lying if I said it even scratched my top 30 Chief Keef songs. I also prefer Halleluiah. Once you get used to his voice, you start liking the songs with weirder production. Once it clicks, it really clicks. On spotify I have 231 songs of his liked, and every time I look back at an old album of his, 5 more join the club. This combination of production, catalog, passion, and just pure fun (you can hear it in the music) cements him at my #1 spot.

[@tommilligan5273]

I saw a tweet once that jokingly said Post Malone has spent his entire career trying to recreate "Citgo" and now that's what I always think of when I hear that track lmao.

The “skit” at the beginning wasn’t really a planned or organized skit by Chief Keef. That video went viral and was of a guy “fangirling” over Chief Keef and him being upset people in Chicago were dissing Keef. Keef was shown it right before the album and was convinced to make it an intro to Love Sosa. In interviews Chief Keef even says how he thought the guy was kinda extra😂

As a chicagoan, im grateful u listened. Also, is it just me, or is being lyrical always going to mean less energy(not as in a bad way). This is cuz, I feel like youll never get a song like i dont like that will ever have the same lyrical content of a samidot. Yeah, you can get energetic while being lyrical, but I feel like it will never have the purest rawest energy of something like chief keefs music.
