To be fair...
Yatchy and Anderson are more than a decade apart in age..
At Yatchy's age the ONLY shit I listened to was East Coast Rap (+ Outkast) and Dancehall... and was real as shit about the east coast/west coast bias.. This IS '97
by the time I left college 4 years later I was bumping All Eyez On Me, Tricky/Massive Attack, Bjork, Roni Size and had crates of Go Go music.
If Yatchy wants to be great he will eventually study the greats. Otherwise he will be a passing fad like the Shop Boyz or that OTHER Young Chris on Rack on Racks.. Atlanta produces a lot of those guys for whatever reason.
Don't get it twisted though.. It DOES matter to study the greats and your history... and anyone at the top of the game right now.. Drake, K Dot, Cole, Ye, Nicki, Future has done so...
