They ain’t really influence nobody. The names in here are reaches if anything. They legends and have important contributions to the game but nobody was influenced enough by them to copy they sound or anything

That's only one aspect of influence.

Young Joc, Shawty Lo, Yo Gotti were all influenced by Jeezy.

He sounded a different way back then.

Gotti did switch to the jeezy flow during those CM3-CM5 days :francis:

Actually, Jeezy was inspired by Gotti and Master P. People gotta realize that Gotti was poppin years before Jeezy & TI with the dope/trap talk.




Gotti also had beats from Drumma Boy (also from Memphis) first.

One day people will realize how much Memphis influenced the whole sound

Not musically but Jeezy real life made every fool I know really get out and trap and hustle and make a dollar. No lie When Ralo said Jeezy made he want to go sell dope and influenced him, I could relate cause “Not only have I done it, I did it, I lived it”

I don't know about Gotti actually poppin years before Jeezy or T.I. He may have been doing the whole dope boy rap before Jeezy or T.I., but nobody claims either of them were the first to do it. It just wasn't mainstream or a lane where rappers blew up with that style before T.I. or Jeezy. Everybody from Eightball & MJG to Ghetto Mafia to Kast to Goodie Mob to Cool Breeze talked about trappin in the 90's before it was actually a lane or artists making trap anthems in the 00's.

Gotti was the first one to have an album completely centered around sellin dope in first person. Those other groups talked about it but it wasn't wasn't focal point of their projects.

He wasn't. Master P had Ice Cream Man and Ghetto D. The title track from Ghetto D was a step by step guide to cooking dope and the original cover featured a fiend doing dope.
