I'm 42, Fam I can say with perfect clarity that niether me nor none of my people ever thought that shyt was hot,whenever I heard this nicca mumbling over a beat in monotone it was comming from a yoots whip.



I'm no purist,and I didn't deny his impact,look at all this terrible drill shyt comming out the city nowadays that was inspired by him.

Got the city looking goofy as hell on the rhyme tip,shouting and yelling but if they go up on sway or L.A leakers and have to spit that shyt,they would look stupid.
not his fault :sas2:

Onika got inclusionary placement in the Top 10 because they needed a woman. I can't put Onika over lil kim when her best selling album was carried by pop singles.

Pop Smoke would’ve reached another level by his 3rd or 4th album. As it stands currently with 1 and a half albums, y’all need to have a real convo about his actual ability and not just his impact on 16 year olds dancing to terrible drill beats.

if this was an "actual ability" list it would look completely different so why are we nitpicking pop smoke for that while overlooking other factors that put him there?
