fuck it, don't even watch the video. The visuals completely ruin the song.
So I was listening to the rap caviar playlist on spotify just hitting skip song after song and realizing NO ONE is saying anything fresh until I found this song.
I listened to this at least 3 times in a row.
I thought I happened upon some undiscovered gem but I later realized I was late as fuck to this.
Its a crazy mix of shit that oddly really works together and TBH it reminds me of a young black Lil' Ugly Mane.
The angry inflection The way over the top boasting The messy amateur sounding flow The lo-fi and "cheap" sounding beat
If dude didnt have a rap sheet I would think he was joking but he is unfortunately serious as fuck about that life at 17.
I felt like John Cusack in High Fidelity when he finally listened to the demo from the band of kids who were always talking shit to him
9/10 chance this dude burns out quick like all the other one hit rappers

1. is there an uptick of rappers who are tied to criminal activity? It seems like we're seeing this happen a bit more these days - then again...Slick Rick, Snoop & 'Pac
2. Has this topic been explored?
3. Has the topic of art imitating life/life imitating art in hip hop been explored?

due to technology.
Back in the day you would have NEVER heard of this dude because he didn't have a label to put his stuff out there.
There were probably a GANG of would-be rappers back in the day who got locked up before they had a chance to record anything.
Also there's probably more people in general trying to rap now since it's proven to be a lucrative job, so I guess it would make sense more criminals are getting involved.

the bar for making rap songs is extremely low these days (not judging, just stating a fact) and there are a million kids and young adults making beats that they put out for free on YT and SC, and some big name producers are willing to sell top-tier work to enterprising young trappers. bars are hastily strung together over a beat. a eager-to-work videographer is hired and shoots a video in the trap house/complex. video goes up on YT and it gets a few million views. touring commences. merch gets sold. money gets washed. maybe a transition to actual rapping fame happens

>Like a lot of the rappers popping over the last 10 years >would have been been laughing stocks in the 90's/early 00s > I totally agree with this, but at the same time, I think the metric has changed and rap fans I assume are checking for some other thing (style?)

similar to how the raw, stripped down sound of punk rock was partially a reaction to the insanity of meticulous, over-produced, and operatic 70s rock. replace guitar solos with intricate rap verses and you get "punk" rap like the south florida guys and criminals washing their money (21 savage, nba youngboy, tay-k)

with time it's proven to be pretty conventional in terms of sound and fidelity, but man if this video and the content of the song didn't feel like it was challenging everybody me and people like me (white, suburban or midtown rap fans) felt about trap music aside from our knowledge of the real world problems of the Gucci/Jeezy beef.
