@Bankofyousmith @ChiefWoky @djvlad The SoundCloud era was heavily influenced by Keef. Chiraq culture and slang has spread everywhere worldwide not just Chicago. Every big rapper since 2016 has named him as an influence or inspiration.

@ChiefWoky @djvlad Birthed the culture 😅 maybe drill but nothing beyond that

Who is the single most influential rapper of all time?

@ProspektKendall @ChiefWoky @djvlad Keef made Drill Global and it’s in every big city in America and even Europe and Africa. Keef also popularized Chiraq culture worldwide, smoking opp pack, low budget music vids, putting guns in vids, all that. The SoundCloud “Mumble” era was heavily influenced by him as well.

@ChiefWoky @djvlad Does that encapsulate all of hip hop?? No that’s one small genre that has died out…. Sick of this narrative… is he influential? Yes… Nowhere near another artist in his own city.

@JigokuCake He’s talking about a Mac-10 lol MACaroni Time

Back when this song came out someone told me that "macaroni time" was slang for gay anal rape

@firerisYT @TheMindOfHY Keef wave was before these 2 eras but influenced both

@TheMindOfHY What does chief keef fall under? Surely he's one of the biggest drill rappers to dodge all the BS and come out on top?

The reason rap feels dead now is because of shit like this. The last two eras of rap were SoundCloud rap (drugs) and Drill 2.0. After 2018, unless you lived your lyrics, you didn't cut through enough to be mainstream. All of the people that lived their lyrics are dead or in jail. The music is unsustainable. Drill 2.0/Street Rap: - MO3 (dead) - King Von (dead) - EBK Jaaybo (jail) - Pop Smoke (dead) - Lil Durk (jail for life) - Drakeo the Ruler (dead) - Pooh Shiesty (jail again) - Kay Flock (prison for life) - Lil Baby (terrified of RICO) - Sheff G/Sleepy Hallow (jail constantly) It's a winner takes all game and NBA YoungBoy won. He lived his lyrics, didn't die, and is not currently in jail. But this is largely luck with the legal process. People like Moneybagg Yo slowly faded because they left the BS behind them. SoundCloud Rap: - Lil Peep (dead) - Juice WRLD (dead) - XXXtentacion (dead) - YNW Melly (still in jail) - 6ix9ine (jail and telling) Many others are still alive but their drug problems started interfering with their life and music quality which led to them falling off as well. Trippie Redd and Ski Mask survived this and they're doing great but they never had the starpower of the people I listed. Trippie Redd has had plenty of hits and Ski Mask has been consistently good (although long break between projects hurt a bit). Ski Mask also had to deal with drugs and unimaginable grief of losing two close friends on this list. There are a lot more rappers who have died or are in jail but this is only a list of people who we know had potential to become big stars. There is an insatiable appetite of the masses to see you prove that you live your lyrics with chaos, shootouts, arrests, hospitalizations, etc is the problem here.

@JLattemoore @MUSICANDBUILDS Nobody was saying he was the first to ever wear Polo. They were wearing Polo like Country Club members. KEEF blended it with Hood Swag. NOT THE SAME.

@GLORY3OO @MUSICANDBUILDS Are you fucking slow ? Jeans and Jordan’s don’t make it streetwear WE WERE ALREADY WEARING POLO

NO TF HE DIDN’T LOL THE HOOD BEEN WEARING POLO SINCE THE LATE 80S

@PatriotJHerbo @Slatt2Trimm 2 completely different styles Keef wore it in a streetwear way Kanye was just dressing preppy

@Slatt2Trimm You young niggas don’t know sht

Chief Keef changed the game by turning polos from country club attire into streetwear essentials.

@BIG_Rico4 People were NOT styling it like this until Keef

Chief Keef aint do this shit at all, how old you is?!? He wore Polo but he aint “turn” Polo into nothing but what it already was

@Sir_Alphonso @Slatt2Trimm He was dressing preppy not streetwear lol Keef was mix matching designer and with forces, jordans, etc. not the same

@Slatt2Trimm Chief Keef?! Your age is showing 😂 There’s a Chicago legend who would like to have a word about this lol

@KINGPiN_Guwop @iLL_Will91 There are mainstream pop hits and there are viral street hits. Love No Thotties was definitely Street Hit. If streaming counted in 2013 it would’ve gone Gold or Platinum back then. Only charting on Billboard isn’t the only metric for a “Hit” especially music pre streaming era.

@iLL_Will91 Chief Keef “love no thotties” is a cultural classic that people love, but it’s not a hit song. Hit songs are a real metric, not really a matter of opinion. There’s cultural classics that finally went gold & platinum 20 years after release, they weren’t hit songs tho lol.

Why do yall think that a song has to be #1 on billboard to be a hit??? Make it make sense

@kittypurrycatt @likeathornrose Yet, Keef’s version is bigger and the only reason people are checking out the original 🥱

@likeathornrose well ofc the sound of katy's voice couldnt do anything but perfection. chief keef still ruins it tho and makes it unlistenable

wait i just listened to save me and i never realised he didn't just sample the legendary part but he sampled THE WHOLE ASS SONG😭

@pullupwithastk No they had a shootout during that robbery in 2014 idk if Keef was there but Glo Gang popped one of em It wasn’t like Gucci/Shiesty situation

@GLORY3OO Nah that was way after in 2018-19 Sosa wasn’t there for that That was with blood money son n sum Oblock niggas

This lowkey the chief keef incident all over again but slightly different but yk what gucci mane got his karma like a mf

@johnks1213 @rockwithqueen No, he didn’t. The song has been out since 2014 and has more streams than the original. If she didn’t clear the sample, it would’ve long been removed by now.

@rockwithqueen he illegally sampled this song

Sorry but NOBODY knew who Chief Keef was before this song

@cancerbabya @Nimmiesmoon @KatyNation20 Obviously he sampled it 😂 but without Save Me going viral Legendary Lovers would be just a forgotten Katy Perry song. It was over 20 million more streams than the original just on Spotify.

@GLORY3OO @Nimmiesmoon @KatyNation20 nobody would give af about Save Me if Chief hadn’t sampled Legendary Lovers in the first place

“Save me” legendary lovers sample song by chief keef also saw a huge spike in streams yesterday, it gained over 181k streams yesterday.

@queenperrypopp @KatyNation20 Lol

@KatyNation20 hopefully it doesnt surpass legendary lovers

@Nimmiesmoon @KatyNation20 Nobody would give af about Legendary Lovers without that “chop ass song” dumb white girl

@KatyNation20 That chop ass song should tank and legendary lovers should take off

@StrangelyFilm @Domthgreat @Sheer__Opulence @SomeZeeShit__ Keef was influenced by Waka but didn’t copy him. Citgo, Kay Kay, Ballin, Love Sosa, Finally Rich, Hate Bein Sober, Got Them Bands, sound nothing like Waka.

@Domthgreat @Sheer__Opulence @SomeZeeShit__ And it is nowhere near Me Against The World. And Chief Keef copied Waka Flocka.

2pac was 23 years old when he dropped Me Against The World yall cant tell me shit about that nigga. That album is flawless.

@FittsBryce It was a surprise drop tbh he only announced it a week before didn’t promote it or hype it up like Almighty So 2.

Why aren’t people talking about this masterpiece? Yall don’t really like music fr man 😂

@Schyeah00 @FittsBryce Sosa doesn’t pay for promo

@FittsBryce paid promo of doom
