PRADA MANE

[@Deadfoo1]

Metro zu yesss

[@danumba1stunna]

Keef and Kray influence on this generation is crazy they started all this. basically explains this generation. a very creative crazy turnt yet sad and depressed generation. you got yo side who loves rap and you got yo side who loves emo/goth music then you got both. for example at one point to two biggest artist in the past decade were X and Uzi

[@styl1ssttt]

or you got ppl who judge other ppl and uses stereotypes against other ppl mostly in this generation tho

[@jakobe_]

Don’t forget lil b,Marcy mane,odd future,asap mob,sesh,Tyler and earl they all had a big influence on the current generation

[@jakobe_]

@Nueve Jay so many

[@bxxngan]

@Nueve Jay I was literally finna mention sgp🤣🤣bruh had so much originality in his music and the influence he had was crazy ash

[@fleece35]

You forgot Speaker Knockerz

[@yungclvver]

Fun fact: Yung Bruh and Black Kray have a song together. It's called Goth Ritual

[@rishavfash1r]

yup

[@staborust]

he also has a few songs with city morgue on vol 1

[@tredz7582]

Yeah they have skate videos then kray dissed them because the stole his whole style. I asked fish narc the other day the ins and out but he wouldn't say

[@BigNine]

​@@staborust yea, n he on sosmula newest album

[@scorpionwarrior9179]

slay 🔥

[@OnSludge]

He's still slept on to this day and he made 80% of these new rappers

[@basedsouljah]

Straight up an absolute legend to modern Hip-hop. Goth Money Records changed my perspective of Experimental hip-hop, the entire backlore of Black Kray is so well documented as well. Hood Angels was a great early Kray film, showing where he grew up around Flexico. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. Kray deserves all his flowers man, and its about damn time. 777 You should make a video on KirbLaGoop. Much love

[@pawelisecki6054]

[@levicoleman8975]

“He went through a Rastafarian phase, which is a type of Reggae music” 💀

[@BenitaSFB]

right? lol

[@arthurb6882]

I’m surprised anyone doesn’t know what Rastafarianism is lol

[@ssunomego]

very rare to see people give so much respect for Kray and what he’s done for the music scene, love to see it!

[@steezgawdextraswa6906]

One of the best rappers of all time

[@numba9ine288]

Literally almost every single one of SGP’s students have impacted the world in their own way, that says more about purp than anything else tbh 🤷‍♂️

[@sickeda]

Amen to that

[@jackloveslucki]

Yea but sgp a weirdo

[@mykarmaranoveryourdogma6854]

Facts but unfortunately SGP never seemed to be able to let that just speak for itself, man fucked up his own image

[@sullface1]

raider was a diff breed

[@ibemadgoated2501]

In my opinion the greatest to ever do it, thanks for the great documentary the world needs to kno more about kray 🕊

skating is cooler than ever this is bs. i used to get so much stick in 2013-14 for being a skater & from my understanding it was even worse 08-09 times.

[@Steezealways]

I’m sure a lot of us have related with kray in the black community not fitting in with our black peers because we acted out of the norm

Got into his music like 2 years ago and wondered how i havent heard him any earlier. Now hes the artist i listen to the most

[@Dubtoy94]

That’s crazy same here

[@seanjohnson8910]

Same. His production style and aesthetic 🔥🔥

[@down2earth485]

I think about a lot of people in the game that claim "yeah I was always into rock / alternative/ goth etc etc" but when you see old photos of them, youd never have guessed. Kray has always been this way though; always different for the time like alternative people are. He'll never get the proper credit he deserves for fathering so many who would reach mainstream.

[@fucktrevo]

another classic, much love bro rbo !! you're killing it

[@HAUNTXR_]

I fw black kray 4L ever since like 2012 ima need a black kray playlist playing at my funeral fr 🕊️🕊️

he really never fell off musically the whole time since he´s around. thats something not a lot of people in the underground can say

[@po-fc9bn]

deserves waaaaaaay more respect and recognition tbh, just finding out about him and his influence and its crazy

[@Raincloudz973]

Been rocking w Kray since like 2014 or 2015. Def helped me understand myself as a young alternative Black nigga. He was different from niggas like Tyler too which was a different type of relatability.

[@gloclipp]

I discovered kray in November 2020, the first song I heard was In Da Field Like Da War and it was the most beautiful song ever to me at the time

[@industrialworld1]

Kray is just that guy. He is him. Just too good

[@11KSH11]

Thank-you for creating this these kids need to know

[@trashbeastcollective5862]

Can't forget those collabs with City morgue! That's how I discovered black kray! Crack the draco still one of my faves

[@zzzAndrew]

Kray can be seen in "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus music video at 0:26.

[@hphamster9]

lean tears in her fanta is literally art, not saying his other stuff isn’t but this one stands out to me

[@aalop-lw8qz]

Great video, I been a rari fan since like 2013/2014. imo ive followed his career, and its crazy to see how other artist watched his moves/copied his whole style.

Nice job lad. Pretty accurate overall from what I was there for.

[@dopesiiick]

The original Underground legend

[@starstarswag666]

Not only that but he also influenced the underground urban latin scene. Because of black kray x la goony chonga theres the hardest song “tira tira” and every urban latin girl that is “goth “ knows la goony

[@NuclearSad]

No Black Kray no SoundCloud wave. Period.

[@dreamcastkid3064]

I used to bump Goth Money Tech Palms album back when it came out. Kray really did influence Tracy. I remember when people got mad about the VHS aesthetic on his 30 Round Clip video because it was similar to Bones. My favorite video is Not Fascinated. My family is from an hour north of Ashland, segregational neighborhoods are real in most of Virginia.

[@suffer7845]

sumn bout listening to kray for any kind of mood ur in, shits magical

good video's, you alway's see videos like these on people who BEEN mainstream but rarely on influencers like kray and some of the other artist i just watched that you put up.. I've been in the loop with all of this side of music sense 2012 so its pretty entertaining seeing these videos and be like " oh yeah damn remember that " ahaha. Just for reference maby, you could do a video on EndyEnds hes been intertwined with all of this for lil over a decade and is quite a interesting character ahah

[@missiongrl]

I regret not sk8ing more as a black kid during my wonder years… it wasn’t cool then. 😒 Kray aka Sickboyrari is a legend 🕊️

[@tredz7582]

I've been listening to kray from day one before the sc scene in 2016 like he's been my influence so much and helped me through so much. I've always said he never got the recognition he deserved and honestly I don't no why. Protect kray at all cost..ps only real no about b s m d on my Japan god dam

i just wanted to add that the gbc / kray beef happened cause horse head went on skullcandy and basically said "it's like melodic emo trap. It's never been done before"" or smth without recognizing how kray influenced them and he prob thought gbc were stealing his whole style. it was squashed within a few days if i remember correctly tho. good vid otherwise
