50. "Nahhhhhhh. See, what makes this tough is that Rap was still in it's" In response to In response to 8
infancy when most of us were born. I'm 1984....and that's the year when Rap really started becoming big. There's not a single rapper who died before 1984 who has five songs that ANY of us could name, LOL.
BUT...Marvin Gaye died in 1984, and I could name ten of his songs in High School. Michael Jackson didn't die before my birth, but I could have named 20 of his songs in High School. And I mention these artists because that's the closest comparison, since Rap wasn't even big before my own birth.
And with that...2Pac and Biggie songs are STILL everywhere. Every kid saw Straight Outta Compton, and at least heard the two Pac songs in there. And everyone has seen these Sprite commercials with "Keep ya head up." And Biggie had a movie that came out when Yachty was 12, so even if he didn't see it then, it's common for kids his age to know the movie and some songs.
And then...final point...as Steph said....HE BROUGHT IT UP!!! Like he was proud!!! If Ebro was an asshole and put him on the spot saying "Name five Pac and Big songs" then I wouldn't be mad at him. But he brought the shit up on his own, as to say "yeah, I don't know or care about that old shit, I'm new era."
Oh, and one more point...he's completely garbage. Like, not even a dope wack rapper.
