Real talk, Coke Boyz could have been the 2010's Dipset

[ISO]

I was listening to some old Coke Boyz music and real talk if it weren't for incarcerations (Max, Flip, Cheeze), fall outs (Charlie Rock) and deaths (Chinx) Coke Boyz could have had the streets just like Dipset did in the 2000's. Harry Fraud was to Coke Boyz what the Heatmakerz were to Dipset.

Coke Boyz was hitting the streets the same way Dipset was through the mixtape circuit, and influencing our slang (had us all screaming hannnn and juu heard) and influencing our fashion. The same way Dipset had dudes rocking pink, True Religions, big square earrings, Ed Hardy. Max had dudes rocking B.B. belts, French was one of the flyest dudes in the game at this point, they embodied the NY look at the time, and Coke Boyz merchandise t-shirts and hoodies was flying off the racks.

Not only that but on a street level the same way Dipset was influencing people to become Bloods. Coke Boyz was instrumental in the whole YG'z and YB'z movement. Charlie Rock was one of the original YG'z as was French affiliate Juu Hef who was killed back in 2013 in Highbridge. French's Mott Haven projects was one of the main YG strongholds. Coke Boyz like Dipset also embraced the South as a market. They could work with Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Mase, Uncle Murda and do songs with Waka Flocka, Three 6, Bun B.

This single was an absolute bomb in the Tri-State back in '11/'12...


I think Coke Boyz as a whole don't get the credit they deserve as a crew in terms of influence and impact as well as musical quality.

yep, but french gets a lot of hate

can we talk about french possibly dropping the best rap album of 2016 too

 

[New Username]

facts. they dropped the ball

I was somewhat of a Coke Boyz fan but nah. Was Max even a "Coke Boy" I thought he went in before they were a thing.

 

[SpacelySprockets]

I dont think they wouldve been called Coke Boyz if Max was out... but Max and French definitely had a huge wave before Max got knocked which helped French end up being able to further himself and then with Chinx emerging afterwards they wouldve definitely been a force

Wasnt Max's movement Gain Greene or something like that? Al Pac wouldve been a part of it too

*asap mob

you nikkas need to stop being so stupid on here

 

[wizworld]

They didn't have that type of movement in the streets, the influence wasn't the same. They didn't have that type of music.
French is a singles artist.

Yeah, but he had been out he would have been down with the movement

My point is that without all the street shyt and setbacks they would have been a united force.

They didn't have that type of movement in the streets

Also, French is a single and mixtapes based artist like a Young Thug. We wasn't bumping just French singles but mixtape cuts and remixes too.

 

[Polofresh4]

Which one is Cam? Because under all of the Dipset movement, fashion, shyt talking, production.....they still had a dude who was mentioned on a top 10 rappers list....

 

[GollyImGully]

Coke Boyz was instrumental in the whole YG'z and YB'z movement

Ygz & Ybz was an issue wayyyyyyyyyy before Coke Boyz yet alone french was even relevant

 

[tuckgod]

It's telling that the last thing you mentioned was the quality of their music.

 

[The God Poster]

You letting your NY bias cloud your mind..the fact you compared their movement to dipset is

 

[K.Dot]

They would have to be worshipped outside of NY inorder for that to happen, no way. Do you know who dipset is and the impact they had on Street culture across the nation. Good lord, the nostalgia.
