Kai Cenat plays Runaway on piano, Glorilla doesn’t recognize it, comments say “the South wasn’t listening to Kanye”

[Harry B]

Because there's a huge disconnect that a lot of people are not getting. Him selling out arenas is fans. "Runaway" wasn't some song that was inescapable so there's a lot of people that wouldn't know that song.

I’m not talking about runaway I’m talking about the statement that people in the south weren’t listening to Kanye.

I wouldn’t expect glorilla to know anything at all, probably can’t point out her own state on a map. So that’s a different story

 

[Tribal Outkast]

With OutKast I get people not knowing who they are. They haven't released an album in nearly 20 years.

Yeah man I said I felt that way a few years ago because this happened to me in around 2014 or so. This dude I worked with had NO CLUE about Kast and I was perplexed. He was like

“Is that the Hey Ya guy?”

I couldn’t believe it lol. I don’t care about more honestly because now you have 30 year olds saying Wayne is their goat and all that.. Ice been in the same career for over 20 years now so I’ve literally seen how hiphop has changed through the co-workers I’ve worked with in these different cities. I’m just saying it’s these older Kanye fans turn to get it now.

Nikkas gotta stop with this topic. I hate the term fake outrage but this definitely qualifies

There are regions strong enough where nikkas listen to the music of that region more than than whatever is going on in the mainstream. Nikkas in Memphis got MORE than enough Memphis rap to last them a lifetime

Does that mean no one in Memphis was listening to Kanye? No but y'all know wtf she talking about stop being so pedantic

I can tell you nikkas wasn't listening to Kanye in Birmingham, and I know because nikkas would when they'd catch me listening to him

Nikkas play dumb about regions and hoods because they can't wait to talk shyt about somebody and feel tastefully superior to that shyt corny as hell

 

[Jaguar93]

Should’ve played this

 

[O.Red]

lol I doubt many 20 year old white kids know those groups music like that

Don't be surprised. Some groups stand the test of time and become right of passage names

Its like how you still see Ramones T shirts on high school kids. It's not crazy at all to consider that Black Sabbath is known to the youth

Ten years ago I went to a Gerard Way(My Chemical Romance) show and was at tbe amount of teenagers there

If you listen to Kodak Blacks early music it's obvious he was a fan of Wayne/The Hot Boys. Hell Project Pat is more popular now than he's ever been. The song of the summer for 2020 during the protests was Fukk The Police

Also consider the fact that the music that does the best on streaming is all old/classics. The youth ain't fukkin with most of the current new shyt like y'all assume. And with everything today being so stripped down and bland you have Gen Z looking for identity in all the old shyt .

 

[O.Red]

Should’ve played this

Exactly

Glorilla could probably identify a Playa Fly song before she could Runaway

 

[Theolodius_Black]

Lmao she the same age as me; they was playing that whole album damn near at our basketball and football games… shyts were all over the radio too

shyt just cap

Where are you from? Cause this definitely wasn’t happening in the Sip I lived two hours from Memphis so i assume it wasn’t happening there either. Especially so there are better songs from southern artist for this

Wasn’t nobody turning up to no damn Runaway in the Deep South. Thats a fact. It’s a classic song though

Plus Glo was 9/10 when runaway dropped I do believe that her and the folks around was not listening to Ye like that in Memphis

I’m from further south than you (peace ju, we ain’t spoke in a minute!) and this absolutely was happening in the Sip. I was still at JSU and would hear random ass box Chevys all around Jack town playing runaway. And Memphis and Jackson two ghetto ass cousins so I know you could hear the same up there. Not only that, ju is 1000% correct with that whole album getting burn at events, especially power. If your marching band at school had juice (read that as majority black) you played power in 2010. shyt, that was the year us and SU got into it at the battle of the bands in Jackson and the Boombox that year was crazy af because of Power lol. Clarksdale high, valley, whitehaven in Memphis, I know all them was blasting that shyt too.

It’s like buddy said, people gotta stop speaking for entire regions/states and just say “where I was”

What’s good folks? I forgot you was on this joint


I was in clarksdale tunica Greenville and Moorhead and this was not happening especially not at any games at that time

Especially not in the delta

Waka, Ross was getting a lot of burn though

I remember vividly cause I was in nursing school at Coahoma but lived in Greenville at the time and my brother was moving packs to southhaven right outside Memphis

I’m saying it’s believable that a 10 yr old girl in the hood didn’t hear it

Most people who wear shirts of artist don’t know the music breh lol

 

[BrothaZay]

Runaway was huge. And Kai is younger than Glo. Yall gotta stop giving these people excuses for being ignorant.

Huge? I’ve never heard that song in my life until this thread

 

[BrothaZay]

Bro... Not knowing that song is like not knowing that power song he has. U fckin heard that sht everywhere.
This bytch might just be retarded.

If he played the actual song she'd probably remember.

Glo my bytch tho lol

That song was not everywhere

 

[ABlackMan]

Lmao she the same age as me; they was playing that whole album damn near at our basketball and football games… shyts were all over the radio too

shyt just cap

No the hell they weren’t stop lying! Only thing even suitable for any of that would be power and maybe the drum breaks or horns to all of the lights

Wtf y’all must’ve been playing blame game at halftime when y’all was getting y’all ass kicked and trying to figure out why huh

 

[BrothaZay]

For everybody mentioning her age: Kai is younger than her yet he knows it, so that can't be the reason.

He from the burbs

One thing about it though they hustle hard to make sure this man is viewed. You see the whole damn stream and not have a single subscription to him or anything related.

It’s kinda bothersome. Like what’s the point? It’s always a point or something that they trying to work.

Maybe I’ll run through homie origin
