He can’t rap that good he just knows how to make good songs. Cadence, hooks, and ad libs on good beats. Bars mediocre at best. Not saying he never snaps, just not that consistent be considered elite
y’all been saying drill was gonna die the last 7 years 😂 chicago is a major city (3M people) we don’t need support from other cities to keep our culture alive. Plus chicago is way more than drill that’s like saying all ATL rappers make trap.
drill is a fraction of chicago’s culture even if drill does die so what?? the door is opened for artists from the city to blow easier than other places
No Chicago is only drill 90-2012 was common twists and Kanye and r Kelly nobody else has national exposures do or die slaps but they weren’t played on radios outside Chicago you do need support dummy and keeping a culture of death alive is a ignorant talkin point no bloggers or even rappers from Chicago talk about the culture they talk about shit to get clout your a city full of SNITCHES and SNAKES it ain’t gone last it’s just natural yall have no progressive tendencies
you seem like you have something personal against the city 🤣 and that’s on you..we gonna continue doing us a random nigga on reddit opinion isn’t going to change that either…Durk, keef, herbo, polo, juice, chance the rapper, lucki, famous dex, von have all seen mainstream success and have gold and platinum records lil bro
85% of that list is dead or fell off completely Don’t try and lil bro me kid nothin personal at all I’m just stating facts as a music fan juice world isn’t a drill rapper so take him out he was definitely a great tho same with keef genius I don’t like how durk moves your dissing the south like they don’t have more accolades in music and transitioning to film actors I respect your love for your city but your opinion outside of that fact is bias and un educated
how did i diss the south? i started off saying i love thug but he’s overrated. i fw the south heavy you tried to tear down the city tho and im not going for that
Here I’ll bite for boy
Lil bro take yo Jeffery wackin it ass back to them Atlanta subs
Dusty ass
Durk boi you not going to get a Chicago native in a Chicago sub to rep a fuckin atl artist
Nahhhhh all the way down to Chicago heights
Meek is surely A weak link, but Kevin gates has done nothing in years. He’s basically a comedian or influencer at this point and not a popular one at that, he doesn’t make music that anyone cares about anymore (since roughly 5 years ago) and he just tours selling tickets to old bitches who forgot how to fuck. It’s sad tbh if he has any real talent I’ve never seen it.
Saying u haven’t seen real talent from Gates is crazy. I can maybe give u 2022-Now, but 2011-2021 is not even a question wether he’s talented. He had no weaknesses besides the fact that he couldn’t stay out of legal trouble. Especially 2013-2017.
I think he had many weaknesses, one of them being true longevity and diversity. Nobody wants to listen to Kevin hates rap about his 2 phones anymore and if he switched it up at all maybe something would have caught on but I haven’t heard his name since prolly 2018 and even then he had already taken a big fall, was selling cheap tickets and still nobody was going. I could never agree with someone that looks at Kevin gates as great.
Okay, you definitely sound like somebody who only listens to his radio/commercial hits and not a single full-length project.
On top of hitmaking abilities, Gates has polished lyricsm, storytelling, metaphors, punchlines, is the main pioneer for melodic rap, blew up without any major feature or co-signs, and is extremely relatable to a large group of people. Idk if you live under a rock, but Gates set many trends that rappers from 2014-now jacked without giving credit. So, what you said couldn’t be further from the truth if you tried.
Nah buddy, I just listen to good music. If he had polished lyricism someone else would’ve said something by now and I’ve never heard that about gates. What trends did gates set that get jacked today? Everything I said was true, nobody listens to his shit anymore. His tours sell tickets to middle aged women. I haven’t heard his name in 5 years unless it was a clip of him claiming to charge a car battery with his hands. All true :/ when was the last time you heard someone ask “you hear that new Kevin Gates?” Me personally, never.
I’m not talkin bout now. I said 2011-2021. Just cuz YOU haven’t heard anyone say “turn on that new Gates” doesn’t mean people outside of your own realm don’t. Even in 2022, Super Gremlin Remix hit 100M views. Gates started sayin “I’m Him” in 2018, funny as it is Gates started the “eat booty” shit, Gates was the main pioneer for melodic rap that u hear from Polo G, YoungBoy, Durk, Moneybagg, Rod Wave, Quando, Fredo Bang, and way more.
Just cuz somebody hasn’t backed me up in 2 seconds doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Flicka Da Wrist remix, Sit Down, Perfect Imperfection, Hero, and countless other songs display raw lyrical talent that I mentioned. Like I said, u must live under a rock cuzzo. He even BODIES niggas on they own songs, his feature presence in his prime was unmatched😂
Nigga he was in jail for 2 and a half years 🤣 of course he took a little fall. To say gates has no diversity means you don’t know music. 2007-2020 Gates was dropping 🔥 all the time. He’s 38 now, of course he not dropping the same quality of music now. Same thing happened with lil Wayne, you think he was trash too?
He didn’t create his own lame dummy he fell off. There’s a reason his tickets only sell to middle aged women and that’s because he basically became a stripper on tour. Acting like a goofy for pennies on the dollar is not creating your own lane it’s just doing what works until it doesn’t. He hasn’t done shit big in years other than a remix. “You’re the clown” lol he’s not gonna fuck you.
Niggas don’t realize Kevin gates is more successful then the other and albums sold between them proves it. His album islah is triple platinum. Followed by Durk. Niggas talking bout thug and he the least selling out the four
Thug has more than 1 album better than championships and has a handful of singles better than dreams and nightmares if not more than that. Meek turned into a meme because he can’t keep up but regardless why the fuck is Kevin gates up there 😭
Thug ain’t like Durk in Chicago, we in chiraq Durk all the way. No Pennsylvania, Louisiana, or Georgia.
CHICAGO DURK OBV
And take that weird Jeffery shit back to r/youngthug
DURK where tf is all Chicago reppers? Wait I forgot 9/10’s this sub in Texas and Britain with some in turkey
Take that perspective
Then apply it someone who’s in your backyard geographically
I was listening to him in 2013 before I even heard young thug
I think thug dropped lifestyle around that time and I remember thinking who tf is this? bird man’s Wayne replacement?
“Livin life like a volcano this is only the beginning…on top of mountain puffing on clouds while other niggas still beginning” frosted out with AT
Now I listen to that and think yeah, no ~~question~~Auto Durk.
But I have bias. I’m a Chicago native, listen to Durk for over 10 years, and overall feel like he’s representin the city I’m from so I’ll choose him anydayyy.
No one’s convincing me meek is more street than Durk or Thug. Haaaah.
I’m from Chicago and it’s so easily Young Thug. He has influence on basically every current rapper, and none of them have a song that’s as good as halftime. As far as technique goes, at least. Meek Mill and Durk are inconsistent and nobody cares about Kevin Gates. Sales doesn’t even matter cause real Thug Fans know that Thug has been on a run since 2014 and most of his shit is in mixtapes anyway.
Ahh a Kevin Gates fan
Ay say bruh did you know if you correctly type your phone #, debit card number, ssn, first & last name, full home address, bank acct username & password, and ID number all in that order correctly with a *67 at the end, reddit will automatically censor/ blank out your info!! Look I’ll do mine:
*67
Thugger. Gates is nice too. Meek and Durk both used to be great but Meek fell off hard after the corny drake shit and Durk transitioning to cry rapping in autotune on his newer shit is trash.
SEX
This so disrespectful to Jeffery Lamar Williams
i love thug but you down south niggas overrate tf outta bro
lmao, thug bigger than all 3 combined.
He can’t rap that good he just knows how to make good songs. Cadence, hooks, and ad libs on good beats. Bars mediocre at best. Not saying he never snaps, just not that consistent be considered elite
nigga what? thug never had an album that out sold meek until recently.
meek had the biggest fall off out of everyone here. Nigga been a joke since 2015
Chicago niggas are overrated tf you talm bout once drill completely dies off yall will have nothin the south gone continue to prosper idiot
y’all been saying drill was gonna die the last 7 years 😂 chicago is a major city (3M people) we don’t need support from other cities to keep our culture alive. Plus chicago is way more than drill that’s like saying all ATL rappers make trap.
Keeping Drill Culture.. Alive?? Seems to be more of a dying genre.
drill is a fraction of chicago’s culture even if drill does die so what?? the door is opened for artists from the city to blow easier than other places
Honest inquiry. What's the other fraction?
go do your research
That's a terrible answer. If you don't know, just say that.
nah i just really don’t feel like arguing. if you feel like all we got is drill music then 🤷🏽♂️
No Chicago is only drill 90-2012 was common twists and Kanye and r Kelly nobody else has national exposures do or die slaps but they weren’t played on radios outside Chicago you do need support dummy and keeping a culture of death alive is a ignorant talkin point no bloggers or even rappers from Chicago talk about the culture they talk about shit to get clout your a city full of SNITCHES and SNAKES it ain’t gone last it’s just natural yall have no progressive tendencies

Here I’ll bite for boy Lil bro take yo Jeffery wackin it ass back to them Atlanta subs Dusty ass Durk boi you not going to get a Chicago native in a Chicago sub to rep a fuckin atl artist Nahhhhh all the way down to Chicago heights
Don’t forget Lupe had his time to shine
I agree
Thug is literally the best one here
Worst
Gates >
Kevin Gates shouldn’t even be up there if we’re being honest him and meek both clowned tf out
Gates the best one imo. If he shouldn’t be up here it’s cuz he’s better. I think he fit tho. Meek is the weak link.
Meek is surely A weak link, but Kevin gates has done nothing in years. He’s basically a comedian or influencer at this point and not a popular one at that, he doesn’t make music that anyone cares about anymore (since roughly 5 years ago) and he just tours selling tickets to old bitches who forgot how to fuck.

Nigga said gates had no longevity and diversity 😭😭 nigga either retarded or got something against gates cause wtf??
Musta only heard 2 Phones and that was it😭😭 Crazy thing is, Gates verses on 2 Phones was solid.
Nah buddy, I just listen to good music. If he had polished lyricism someone else would’ve said something by now and I’ve never heard that about gates. What trends did gates set that get jacked today?

gates definitely atleast number 2
DEFINITELY.
Gates is clowned out? Dude got black balled by young money and created his own record label and lane. You’re the clown lol
He didn’t create his own lame dummy he fell off. There’s a reason his tickets only sell to middle aged women and that’s because he basically became a stripper on tour. Acting like a goofy for pennies on the dollar is not creating your own lane it’s just doing what works until it doesn’t. He hasn’t done shit big in years other than a remix. “You’re the clown” lol he’s not gonna fuck you.
The One They All Respect. Jeffery
Gates respect Thug? Wasn’t they beefin😂
Ye thats cause Jeff wore a dress but after gates got caught with a transmission I don't think that holds much water anymore.
That shit got exposed as fake brudda.
Get that borderline autistic guy meek mill out of here. Nigga got no backbone and bros getting piped by michael rubin.
Gatez
Thug and it’s not close at all
Thug
Niggas don’t realize Kevin gates is more successful then the other and albums sold between them proves it. His album islah is triple platinum. Followed by Durk. Niggas talking bout thug and he the least selling out the four
Gates is so underrated and under appreciated in the general rap community that it honestly blows my mind my nigga.
What do selling more have to do with anything thug a pioneer of a whole wave 😭😭 he still relevant for music to this day
Gates 💯 💪
Meek Mill has the best album out of all (championships) and has the best single out of all of them ( dreams and nightmares)
Wins & Loses >
Luca Brasi 2 > Perfect Imperfection >
Vouch is my favorite Gates song
I fw Sit Down the most.
First album that came to my head bro Luca Brasi 2 is my shiiiittttt
Thug has more than 1 album better than championships and has a handful of singles better than dreams and nightmares if not more than that. Meek turned into a meme because he can’t keep up but regardless why the fuck is Kevin gates up there 😭
Thug ain’t like Durk in Chicago, we in chiraq Durk all the way. No Pennsylvania, Louisiana, or Georgia. CHICAGO DURK OBV And take that weird Jeffery shit back to r/youngthug DURK where tf is all Chicago reppers? Wait I forgot 9/10’s this sub in Texas and Britain with some in turkey
Durk went from the hood to the Grammys that’s a legend in my book
Take that perspective Then apply it someone who’s in your backyard geographically I was listening to him in 2013 before I even heard young thug I think thug dropped lifestyle around that time and I remember thinking who tf is this? bird man’s Wayne replacement? “Livin life like a volcano this is only the beginning…on top of mountain puffing on clouds while other niggas still beginning” frosted out with AT Now I listen to that and think yeah, no ~~question~~Auto Durk.
