I remember the first time I heard



I was like :wtf: ''hold up... is this nikka even rappin in english?''

Thought this b*stard was some hatian nikka fresh off the boat makin music...



:dead:

when i first heard this record i knew i was hearing something revolutionary. he was using a fake cuban accent like tony mixed with his atlanta accent that gave the record a dose of originality

i became a fan instantly and he hasnt disappointed me since. hes definitely a student of wayne who i think is the father of mumble rap but he did it in small doses

Not sure who invented it, but I would like whoever did invent it to have the earth, wind and fire slapped out of them, they deserve that at the very least my brother.

No hate at all though

You can hear every word they're saying. No mumbling at all
I'd say the same thing about most of Future's songs. Every Camp Lo song I've heard sounded like gibberish. Dope, but I have no idea what they're saying 2/3rds the time to this day. I think it has to do with where you come from and what dialects you're already used to in everyday life

Silkk was one of my favorite rappers back in the day but he started it in my opinion.
