Tbh he was the first one I heard talking about drip in Atlanta. Even before I heard Sauce Walka. And I've listened to Sauce's early work, horrible remixes and all. I feel like Yung La was the first to make it popular and then it became a real sound/style.

[@almightyprime162]

Shit before sauce walka we been saying saucy & sauce in Northern California I’m talking early 2000s since Mac Dre but let sauce walka tell it he created everything lmao

[@410itsdevo3]

@@almightyprime162 thats one of the 48 laws. The ones who have something to show that supports their case will always gain influence. Since sauce got famous while using the word, the ones who been saying it for decades plus end up looking like they're biting. Entertainment has never been centered around truth anyway right?
