Why does Lil Durk always know a nikka in his songs?

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

I fukk with Durk, he from the city and everything but in everything song bruh always talking about he knows someone ?
Durk raps like this

“I know a nikka from out west that told on his homies, sent Em in the pen”

“I know a nikka that put his face mask off when he does a hit”

“I know a nikka that tried to claim the block, but the block saw him and let them bullets fly”

“I know a bytch that switched on a her nikka for a Valentino bag”

He even has a whole song called “I Know”, in which the hook is about a bunch of different types of nikkas he knows

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

He's talking from real life experiences, most people dont know any of the kinds people he knows growing up in grimey ass O Block, it's the hood breh. I'm sure he's seen all kinds of crazy shyt that's where the content comes from.

This is where actually being good at rapping makes a difference. All these "I know a nikkas" could be presented as stories told.

Very interesting way of looking at it, just shows how far behind some guys are from the GOAT tier storytellers

 

[maxamusa]

Hit the six, call DaDa out, tell him 'bout a lick
We need tape, we need rope and phones, don't forget the blicks
He like, "Cool, how that nikka look?" I pull up some flicks
He like, "Damn I think I know the nikka" He cool with his bytch

Thats what happens when you put in no work and call the shots

When Satan is done with him
We will all know it.his downfallwill be televised

For what? This is one of Durk signatures. That chronological storytelling shyt played out too…King Von was doing the stories.

Funny thing in that song I Know he said

I know one nikka told me stop singin', told me put out them bars
Why would I do that and that's one main reason I got these cars?

 

[NZA]

that's why they drink all that lean. they've seen too much
