That's too much googling, and moving the goal posts.... There's still street rappers in the game was the point

 

[Sky Davis]

we are at the say anything portion of the thread

 

[OGDirtyD]

Shout out the streets, man.

I can see only one rapper who wasn't around before 2020; everybody else has to be at least 30.
I'm talking about who the kids in High School are listening to right now. Otherwise, Jim Jones is still relevant.

I dunno man, i gotta teenage son, and i can hear tht music niggas on the corner playing every time i come out my door on a nice day....

They don't have a lack of street niggas to choose from. Just cuz i don't know them all doesn't mean they don't exist. I'm 43

Benny not being played by them is more of a reflection of his age
His audience, and his lack of connection.

Future and Offset are closer to his age and not having those issues.

 

[Bender Rodriguez]

Oh so now yall like ak, fantino(sp) what that white boyu name is, vlad and the like.... cause the nerds run rap. ok gotcha i better now hear a word the next time AK name is brought up

 

[Dwayne]

Good.

 

[Goldie]

Naw, go off

I think Griselda has been running shit for so long it's become cool to say they fell off. If we go back to the best albums of year for the last 5+ years it's gonna be full of Griselda albums. No other squad has been running the game like they have in the past 5 years.

Benny does a lotta collaborations with a lotta artists.. He's nice as shit. He just doesn't understand it's more to it than just putting out hot verses.

They should have been released a Griselda clothing line. Got into some kinda endorsements.

The best thing the Wu ever did was create that logo. That logo did more for them than any one song, and these niggaz put out classic music in the era Benny wishes he was from. But i can promise you their best move was that W.

It's true. Cam just spoke on this a couple weeks ago:



Between the fashion, wrestling, art, etc. Westside has a bigger following than some niggas on here realize.

Future is older than Benny

Westside did have more monthly listeners than Pusha T did before he went on that huge rollout and album drop.

I've definitely seen the Niggaz in wrestling
.. You know that's my shit, and I saw them being acknowledged by the community at a high level...

So i mean, i gotta ask why Benny complaining about nerds?? The New Day is 100% the embodiment of the black nerd culture... Like the front runners... And considering Griselda being wrestling fans.... How he mad at black nerds?

What's his beef here? He mad at nerds taking over the culture, but they playing into that same demographic. YN's in the trap ain't his fan base... It's older heads, hip hop heads, nerd ass niggas

Griselda hasn’t run shit though

Sure their albums make lists by complex and get talked about by the dusty 35 and up crowd like deadendhiphop and joe Budden

But they aren’t moving the needle of hiphop the culture

They move underground hiphop circles

Casual rap fans aren’t listening to the 7 Griselda projects a year

 

[Dwayne]

I also don’t like the new meaning of nerd.

Cuz you a nerd.

It is what it is,, embrace it.

You smart right? You not in the streets right? You make good and responsible decisions?

To ignorant niggaz, that's a nerd... And that's okay. Be that. It's not a slight. Niggas working a 9-5; will always be nerds to ignorant niggas. It's in the description.... ignorant. I never understood why niggas was offended about being squares. I LOVE flexing that my environment doesn't define me.

 

[Mr.LV]

So the nerds came on your block and took your shit over

 

[OGDirtyD]

Nerds aint playin fair this year

A nerd use to be a dude that was a damn geek, awkward and didn’t know how to be around people.

And yes, I’m not in the streets anymore. I’m old as fuck lol

I like being a nerd. I appreciate when people recommend anime, or martial arts or any kinda nerd shit to me. Like yes i would like to know about some weird shit i can stream in my spare time. Put me on with video games and corny shit like vegetables i should add to my diet.
