I forgot to add this, but yeah, fresh had that gucci/jeezy sound. Chief Keef inspired by Jeezy & Gucci heavily as well.

he sounded more memphis and like Skinny Pimp bc that was his favorite rapper, he developed his own sound by LIFE album
TIP and Jeezy put trap muzik to the forefront, T.I. popularized saying Trap, Jeezy had people using Shawty Redd and Drumma Boy beats wholesale.
damn, that's true. You think that's why a lot of these new rappers throw shade and hate on jeezy and t.i.p. bc neither really reached out to them like Gucci did/had to.
It was moreso being southern and rapping about drugs over 808's and crazy hi-hats. But I understand your point.

bro I know gotti was rapping then. I’m talking about the sound/flow/adlib sound + placement + frequency. It changed. You can see that from the songs you posted. Listen tho those then go listen to trap or die. Then go listen to gotti 36OZ’s
Lil Baby, Young Thug, hell even J. Cole were influenced by T.I. you could argue that Drake has some influence as well

Jeezy whole thing was about being the last real nikka. Being that all these other dudes are face tatted junkies with flexible clothes - of course they weren’t trying to be Jeezy
When being a wild ignorant c00n is in style, we have bigger problems than people not trying to be Jeezy.
This new generation of short bus rappers didn’t copy Jeezy and T.I. because they couldn’t.
Someone told me Most of these nikkas wasn't really trapping getting money like Jeezy so they couldn't relate
They was young broke nikkas running wild

I mean jeezy and tip was on another level and didn’t have time to reach out like Gucci, they was doing sold out shows around the word, events ect
Gucci was broke, In 1000 bad contracts, probably still having to sell dope to, no mainstream hits. He was a local artist so of course he was gonna fukk with other local up incoming artist.
Yall nikkas wasn’t outside if you don’t think nikkas was influenced by TI and Jeezy. It goes way beyond the south too. Early 2000s Jeezy had the biggest pure street wave a rapper might ever have outside of like 50 Cent. The south was neutral to that east coast west coast shyt so that was maybe the first time you saw nikkas nation wide ride to like the same shyt. I’ve heard everybody from Kendrick Lamar to Boosie talk or rap about listening to Jeezy growing up.
As far as rapping like them, you can’t without sounding like a clone. They both got they own patented styles. Rappers don’t have that anymore.

Damn near his whole career. He had no mainstream hits after so icey.
Doing hole in the wall shows at best and making 100 mixtapes a year.
ti and jeezy had real obligations and didn’t have the time to be working with every artist are making 1000s of throwaway songs that nobody will remember.
Gucci has over 100s of mixtapes and none of them hold the weight of one from jeezy and one from ti.
I hear mad up and coming mfs mention Jeezy, Snowman, Trap or Die or something in some capacity as it relates to him. I was listening to an EST GEE song where he shouted Jeezy out.
TIP, not so much for whatever strange reason aside from a select few. Jeezy's moment was like a meteor in the culture tho. U not throwing a rock and not hitting someone who didn't feel that shyt.
