    21 never fails to blow away my low expectations that I set for him 5 years ago lol. He’s absolutely killing every feature he does.

    Honestly, I never expected 21 Savage to have this level of longevity and I'm glad he is still in the game thriving. I hope he can maintain his doing well and continue on this path. Watching him come up was interesting, and now he has nowhere to go but up if he stays out of trouble unlike most of these rappers.

    The vibes Savage Mode 2 brings is unreal. Every song is so dark and gloomy, Metro and 21 went absolute crazy.

    I remember in 2014 and 2015 hearing him and not thinking much, wasnt my genre. Just in the past year or two I've been exposed to his newer stuff and I looked back on his progress and I was blown away. This is really proof that you need to focus more on an artists drive and determination to succeed than their skill necessarily. You could have all the talent in the world but without motivation you're going nowhere. 21 Savage is proof that if you keep at it, what might be a niche or not widely accepted art may grow into something huge. Collaboration is key in this world. Money becomes obsolete at a certain level and you need resources/people more than anything. 21 Savage is a genius. Hes gained more than respect from me. Def going to watch more interviews and learn from him for the business I'm forming currently.

  • @aldoringo439
    @aldoringo439 Год назад

    21 savage is the type of artist that consistently released a great standard of music but there are a few songs by him which are another level , and that's what makes him so popular (such as red opps, his feature in rich flex, knife talk feature, no heart, rockstar feature, no heart, a lot, x, and 10 freaky girls). Not many artists can do that - a lot just release music of a similar standard, which is why lil baby or Dababy for example haven't yet reached his level - they have no hits.
