No rapper since has had the streets on fire like Jeezy in 05

[NatiboyB]

Never say Drake Pop ass and streets in the same sentence

All three of the rappers you named are certified

Drake been running the streets since '09 though (no one plays wayne's verse)



I heard he just another street anthem lately, I think it's called Look Alive. Nearly 9 years of GOATness

 

[O.Red]

When Rick Rock had his hot streak he took Jeezy's spot

Ross had the juice but that Jeezy shyt was DIFFERENT

Still the only time I've ever seen a nikka whole mixtape and album get run front to back at every social function I was around st the time

Nikka I'm talking college campus, club, parking lot, house party whatever

EVERYBODY knowing the words to EVERY SONG bruh

 

[No Homo]

U nikkas had to be around the chronic n doggystyle era


Ever nikka white black brown was on it

When it dropped it dropped

nikka my grandmother knows the deez nuts skit by heart

OP said since jeezy not any other time in history

 

[Woodrow]

Uhh yea..

You are absolutely right OP. Jeezy was omnipresent. As a NYC it was shocking to see a guy down south get the amount of love he did out here. Snowman T-Shirts were a hot commodity

Yup. I think it was his first show in the city (not 100% sure; I remember hearing someone say that), but nikkas in the crowd was going word for word with him as soon as he started performing and the album wasn’t even out yet. Watching that was some real shyt. I had never seen a southern artist get that kinda love in the city right out the gate.

Drake had the streets though, people underestimate the variety of music the streets fukks with.
They think it's all about straight gangster shyt as if the streets don't appreciate bangers, rap skills, money/ballin rap and shyt that was invented in the hood. Not whole albums but Drake has plenty of songs and songs of other people that feels like Drake songs that people really fukk with. And I don't hang with street dudes but I've been to certain clubs (my mans forced me to) and seen it play out like a Drake tribute night.

Drake didn't have the streets..But he was/is popular as all hell....And has hits on top of hits but he aint never had a street movement.

wasn't nothing like it I was fresh outta high school. that summer was lovely

05-06 summer was one of the goat summers in my life senior year

Future came the closest to this with his 2015 run.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

What a year it was. Finally graduated college. Turned 24. I didn't have to take any classes that year so all I did was work and run the streets. That Jeezy was the theme music

 

[BmoreGorilla]

The moment that prolly compares best is the Mobb in 99. First we got the Murda Muzik bootleg than the official album dropped. When the Quiet Storm remix dropped it was over

I remember the summer of 05 all I heard everywhere in Chicago was jeezy. every nikka had the snowman streets and was quoting his lyrics. trap or die and thug motivate 101 were like gospel to nikkas. No rapper since has had that type of energy. Future and Gucci probably came closes but it wasn't near the level of Gucci.

professor of mine used to bump jeezy as we were walking into class

 

[Evil Grandson]

Boosie down south

Chief Keef

Very underrated post.

Future came the closest to this with his 2015 run.

Too much overlap with the hood and suburbs here. Same sht with Wayne and his run. Future arguably was hotter in the streets before 2015 he got too many anthems

 

[Bigblackted4]

Gucci has like 3 years and Keef had two

Future had the streets something serious in 2012
