Real nikka shyt had von on the breakfast club
Crazy von had just started rapping
nikkas say la and pappy would have been stars but damn von was on his way
As a hip hop fan
Pappy, Von, and Duck were all diamonds in a rough
I know us
nikkaz remember when Lil Herb and Bibby were literally just bubbling and most of us saw their potential
I remember saying God please protect these two
their vocal tone and flow was
I checked out Pappy, Von and Ducks music later but all of them in a different era would have been crazy, especially Pappy
Only thing is I try not to listen to most of the "music" because it's really mantras, I keep saying that word but that's what I feel in my soul, they present it to us as music but to me I look at it as a cry for help, it's a way out, you can see it in almost all of their eyes
once they actually try to make MUSIC though.... Von's storytelling is amazing for the short time of his career, they said he started rapping in 2018ish, not a lot of new rappers go straight to storytelling or conceptual music
