Bro came into the game at 30?! That's so dope! Im glad he decided to pursue his dream cuz he's brought hip hop many gems. Respect

[@negrosuave9315]

Really they all were well in their 30s when they finally popped

[@julianserene]

Yup they was REALLY in the streets getting locked up n shit in their younger days thats why they couldn’t take music seriously til later. He dropped his first mixtape in 2005 tho

[@watkinsbrown]

His first tape was out in 2004. In his early 20's

[@njjjjjjjjhhhs]

👍

[@MensahAcademics]

But you know they been living hip hop from the gate!

[@soultheinterrogator]

When I first heard Con, Benny, and Gunn, it was a breath of fresh air. Everything had been so overproduced, and to hear the BPM's slowed down and super grimey, I loved it! The Pacific NW fux with Griselda! I have family in Locksport, so I've always had love for Buffalo. STAND UP!!!!

[@19andrewhb92]

Here in Vancouver WA my brotha. I've been on the Griselda hype train since tana talk 3 came out. Been hooked since. Hip hop is in a great place thanks to these guys.

[@thakidfrombk]

You can tell these 2 have so much respect for each other. This is the best interview I've seen with Westside Gunn.

Westside Gunn has played a big part in my inspiration. I’ll be in that same seat 1 day.

[@bloodred1521]

I think it's his weakest album but got a few bangers up there.im.waiting on one more with all daringer beats tho

[@Phil-D1]

I think it's a masterpiece. Opinions right

[@louididdy]

It’s a major letdown

[@kenshiroFNS]

Too much trap beats on the new album

I made the album into a 5 track playlist….alot of bullshit on the album,Salute to the flygod

[@wesleystevens3959]

Stove God 2 or 3 fts ? Conway 2 features I think .But I agree .Put Hitler back in Hermes .I think it was beat selection .Daringer at all this album ? No

[@devonpatillo5]

This was a dope interview. Many blessings to you all and @westsidegunn, I will always be proud of you fam. See you soon

[@Chef_Deth]

The album is a magnum opus….I cannot stop listening to it this year has been incredible for music and WSG is at the top of the heap as usual but I’ll say this he out did himself it’s a menagerie of flyness…peace flygod honestly tho Stove God stole this album man really added some great flavor to the tracks he’s on especially kitchen lights and jd wrist….can’t nobody fuck with this album 11 out of 10 the vision is real shout out to a true underdog underground making his…his way and celebrating it boom boom boom boom skkkkrrrrttttttttt best way to sum up Griselda is exactly what the man said NO SKIPS love from the D

i feel for gunn living his double life as an artist and ceo, like he COULD give his ceo responsibilities to somebody else but it would not be the same, theres always some bullshit that comes with that so i heavily admire the dude(s) he is

I admit, I was late to the party. First heard him on $500 ounces because I was hooked on Roc Marciano, but once I heard Mr T, Jose Canseco, Spoonz, One more hit, I knew it was something special. Gunn, Stove and Roc made me love Rap again. Edit: Come on... How can you not love that machine gun sound!

I’ve been a Westside Gunn since 2016. He was became one of my top 5 immediately. And I’m from LA. Him and Drakeo the Ruler became part of my top 5 around the same time. I watched this man go from 40k followers on IG to over 800k now and always knew he’d be a GOAT I had the privilege to meet him and Conway on Melrose at apt 4b in 2018, and he one of the most down to earth humble musical genius. And I love how he said he ain’t a fan of the drop 3-4 year type artists. That’s one of the things I don’t like Kendrick like everyone else.
