@@zhsfbruh please name me one good song! I’m genuinely dying to understand what yall are talking about because I haven’t heard shit worth listening to from this dude since he started popping.

I’m happy you mentioned “Welcome to the Rodeo” & “FR FR,” those are two HUGE SONGS in his catalog that I feel like separate him from a lot of “SoundCloud rappers” cause he has a major stadium sound.
I mean they are both in different lanes style wise but numbers wise they both were going crazy respectively during those years, altho I gotta agree trippies early ug run be4 skies was pretty legendary (big yap sesh)
My favorite rapper to this day ❤️ so hard to see where his life is going. He is clearly in a dark place and gets mad at fans for caring. Gotta pray for the man 🙏🏼
This video has me wondering what happened to Landon Cube..Yung Bans...Yung Pinch...all those guys. Haven't heard their names in ages. Imo Landon + Skies should have made more songs together
u also forget that billboard has changed the amount of streams that albums get first week, the numbers we were used to seeing back then were juiced to unimaginable belief with fake streams and bundle/merch deals to sell more albums. yall remember when nav sold crazy first week cause the vlone shirts
Man I went to high school with lil skies I feel like he should of put on the rest of immortal bandits Neek is hella talented Dre had flow too and rahkim was mad experimental
I feel like he kinda got screwed by timing. He reached his peak towards the end of the SoundCloud era. I remember besides juice wrld right after x passed the instantaneous switch from SoundCloud stuff to Atlanta street rap which was coming up anyway but lil baby was so big in late 2018-early 2019.
It’s the quality of music that watered down because he doesn’t care. His hunger went down once he got comfortable. His lastest music shows he just re reusing same flows and run on lyrics. If he’s going through some shit gotta get some help. Even though he’s independent that doesn’t mean he can’t find any help from the industry. 2021 he was locked in with internet money and cash money ap.
Bro skies been sippin lean since signs of jealousy you can see 16oz sprite bottles in “da sauce” with lean in em and that was the first song to blow him up
@@edo0468 he also referenced lean and has talked about sipping to but it could just be a prop and have something else to talk about. Or maybe it just wasn’t effecting his career and creativity as bad when he first started sipping and blew up as to what some people say is how his career “fell off” but in all honesty look at his peers numbers “trippie redd, ski mask the slump god” all there stream numbers are about the same now if your song don’t have a catchy dance or blow up on tik tok your song won’t be a “banger”
It wasn’t that Skies couldn’t handle being famous, I mean he kind of couldn’t but it was mainly that he realized he didn’t want it, it doesn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things.
Calling like skies better than trippie is crazy reaching, that dude is ass and doesn’t have a single song that compares to any of trippier early shit. Trippie definitely hadda drop in productivity when he caught the fame and his ego got too big to control, but that does not make this dudes shit compare even close. Lil skies was mid asf at the best of times, ion even fuck wit trippie like that but atleast to my ear this dude ain’t it. Trippie had some songs that genuinely caught the attention of other good rappers. Fuck bruh I’d even say lil xan had better sounding shit than this dude
i have been too. And im VERY glad to hear somebody at least be real yet positive about him. Recently everyone has not really been positive towards skies so its always refreshing to see vids like this as an og fan
@@TRAETHAONE he used to get millions of streams per song, it’s been over a year since he’s had a song do 1m and his latest songs aren’t even close to getting 1m 2020 he had 10m monthly listeners on Spotify 2024 he has 5m monthly listeners He fell off
crazy that he was just a fan of CUFBOYS, not even a mom reacts watcher he said himself he watched the vlogs which were funny asf that Maryland era wont be topped
Is a talented cool ass dude but has had a problem with opiates since 2019 at the LATEST… and just had a warrant out for his arrest back here in waynesboro last month for a hit and run..
He just really needs to put more energy into what he does. if You listen to welcome to the rodeo and a song like thousands. Its MUCH different. I watched cufboys hella when i was younger and still do and thats how i started seeing him come up as a local rapper to something huge really fast. I know he was a lot younger and it was years ago but he was happy and very much himself in the vlogs. However now its def different. I think the best moves he can make now is use the hits that he has made as inspiration for his newer music, and definitely branch out with other producers and engineers. Hes been only doing most of his newer shit w zerby which is almost like his very own producer/engineer. Even fans say the mixing has not been so good ever since zerby came into frame, but if i had a choice in anything i would really want him to work w neek again. Neek is so talented and mixed skies music so well. I wish he rapped on beats from the older producers too like menoh, cashmoneyap, taz taylor, etc.. All in all he just really needs to give the fans what they want because him disengaging from his audience just more and more separates that connection that is great to have w a fanbase, and him letting hate get to him makes it unfair to the people who wanna see him win and make good music for everyone because he stops shit because of the haters but doesnt do much for the people who are ride or dies which sucks.
They both are the most garage ass rappers ever, trippie red made music for poor kids who smoke PCP with their transgender mothers and lil skies wasn’t that much better.
Its time for another main channel zilla upload, mollysantana just admitted on twitter that the picture is real and that zilla knew her age. We need to bring awareness to this.
The second I heard Skies say he "did it all by himself" I knew dude would fall off and fall out with all his "homies". He let that shit go to his head and never originated or changed his style up. Some defent music but a trash dude.
Cant put Uzi in that conversation when him and Carti are the only ones in their era breaking 100k, with Uzi doing it for 3 different projects, especially the 2 albums people didnt like
Skies is the GOAT. He can easily take over again if he cares enough. He just needs to write instead of freestyle, and get back with CashMoneyAP & Cole Bennet.
“Lil skies is the better Trippie redd” bruh I wish I had the ears yall got. I swear yall just compare ANYBODY. Never heard Lil Skies and thought “this sounds like Trippie Redd” lmao.
For me he fell off when he got robbed. I never thought he was like that but the way he reacted to that situation was too soft. Especially when I was a teenager I couldnt respect a weak rapper. Its not even about being gangster, its about being a man, you need to be able to defend yourself and your loved ones.
The fact you just tried to Compare lil xanx, xanex anthem to Red Roses by Skies is absolutely wild… Xanex blew up because ridiculous lyrics and shock value; Skies made a good song. Crazy disrespect
mann life of a dark rose brings back so many memories. sucks lil skies didn’t really hit anymore after.. man i wish he just stayed up his own flow and pace. sucks to see him go out like that.
He just stopped trying. This happens with a lot of artist. They get rich & to comfortable…all of his songs now are just weak freestyles…I’ve heard songs recently he be off beat with some bars lol…he just stopped trying
Didn't this guy just make a video about lil skies? He basically fell off because every rapper has a short career in general there's no one rapper that just stays popular forever people just move on especially in today's age people just have a short attentionspan if your music stays the same then u could only go so far the genre itself is pretty much dying in general the only demographic that it attracts is junkies and young kids in there teens once those people mature they just grow out of it the average rapper now just comes out and is just a hype man for the dj they don't even really perform the song and have it playing in the background
you said “if you’re on drugs you can’t make good music” uhh what about juice wrld, peep, mac miller, etc etc. that statement is so incorrect. sure some people can’t make music on drugs but that doesn’t mean everyone can’t…
Still listening to him today. Never stopped.
Same here, never quit!
Same, but less than before.. He has so many good songs that he needs to drop tho

Oh my gosh then you mentioned the Lil Gnar song lmao, that song is crazy too.
I still bump welcome to the rodeo till this day fr
@@DJ_Kartier same. Gonna have to go bump that when I skate today haha
I remember hearing lil skies so much in 2018 because my cousins bumped him heavy, still bump his stuff from time to time
Tbh at the time would’ve agreed that skies was better than trippie, but now looking back trippie was definitely better
Wyd here
I mean they are both in different lanes style wise but numbers wise they both were going crazy respectively during those years, altho I gotta agree trippies early ug run be4 skies was pretty legendary (big yap sesh)
looking back made me realize trippie red was trash.

Can confirm.
This video has me wondering what happened to Landon Cube..Yung Bans...Yung Pinch...all those guys. Haven't heard their names in ages. Imo Landon + Skies should have made more songs together
The SoundCloud era
bans sometimes makes sum lil good numbers but he definitely came back to underground
Landon still puts out music pretty regularly, Pinch drops here and there, Bans I think started dropping music again too
Skies didn't fall off he just fell back .🖤♥️will forever have a spot on my playlist
u also forget that billboard has changed the amount of streams that albums get first week, the numbers we were used to seeing back then were juiced to unimaginable belief with fake streams and bundle/merch deals to sell more albums. yall remember when nav sold crazy first week cause the vlone shirts
People was selling mixtaps at the mall in 2012 , so sounds right.
Videos like these will always bring people back to listening, I kinda forgot bout him till this n did not know he dropping music
he never fell off, he bein a father, end story. nothing to look for, skies will still drop
He did fall off numbers wise
Twisted is like if Nardwuar and Michael McCudden had a baby!
😭😭😭😭
Minus the talent.
Don't forget when he dropped rude that shit blew up
For the record, I used to live a few towns over from Waynesboro and he's not lying, it's still small af and still trash.
I was never personally a fan of Lil Skies but I enjoy watching videos about him to try to understand his fandom & also cause I miss this era of music
Man I went to high school with lil skies I feel like he should of put on the rest of immortal bandits Neek is hella talented Dre had flow too and rahkim was mad experimental

Life of a Dark Rose is a generational album🥀
I grew up in Waynesboro and I can confirm, there is nothing to do there 😂 all you can do is be you
I’m from Smithsburg and thought it was cool asf that a rapper from the town right next to mine was blowing up

Dude. He was IT. Never thought he'd fall off so hard 😢 I always expected him to be almost a Drake status if you will
Bro skies been sippin lean since signs of jealousy you can see 16oz sprite bottles in “da sauce” with lean in em and that was the first song to blow him up
i think it was more a prop back then
@@edo0468 he also referenced lean and has talked about sipping to but it could just be a prop and have something else to talk about.

I’m forever grateful for him introducing me to Landon cube

17:33 Juice would disagree lol
9:58 bro I love Yung Pinch
I adore Yung slap and younger punch is even more fye
He fell off hard but I still rock with him
@@grumpyroach4988 it's unfortunate that he did because he's so good
Gotta meet him last year on Halloween, falloff or not he a stand up guy in real life and I fw him for that
It wasn’t that Skies couldn’t handle being famous, I mean he kind of couldn’t but it was mainly that he realized he didn’t want it, it doesn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things.
Really can’t hate on him. He’s just authentically himself
Your work ethic is insane bro, you must be constantly recording editing and writing your scripts

“printed on a CD or cassette tape or whatever You want to say” no it was 2009, it was definitely not a cassette tape, those came back like mid 2010s
2018 skies was on top of the world
I listened to lil skies ever since he got on cufboys but goddamn the glazzing in this video
i have been too. And im VERY glad to hear somebody at least be real yet positive about him. Recently everyone has not really been positive towards skies so its always refreshing to see vids like this as an og fan

Skies is my goat fr
You’re tweaking, “the better trippie redd”???
yeah 2017 trippie redd clears everything lil skies has ever put out but honestly they both suck at this point lol
Trippie still around the low-A/B tier
They both are the most garage ass rappers ever, trippie red made music for poor kids who smoke PCP with their transgender mothers and lil skies wasn’t that much better.
@@Gigachadlylol u only saying this cause the music got popular and it’s mid
skies shouldnt rlly be compared w trippie redd anyways, they both are v different
He never fell off he is fire
Lil skies spent like 6 years in the underground
Good grades bad habbits is in SoundCloud
Its time for another main channel zilla upload, mollysantana just admitted on twitter that the picture is real and that zilla knew her age. We need to bring awareness to this.
Ahh yes lil xan the epitome of high energy

ngl i feel like skies just got that rhetoric of being ass after he dropped unbothered

Did he really say that?

Twisted world is literally MattyBallz prove me wrong
I think after more money more ice he started falling off

Cant put Uzi in that conversation when him and Carti are the only ones in their era breaking 100k, with Uzi doing it for 3 different projects, especially the 2 albums people didnt like
I miss that age in rap, lil skies was definetely top 10 in that time, Some1 said I sound like lil skies too lol

Balls 2 the wall
“Skies fan” but doesn’t mention Understand me or Foreign Whip.. interesting

Sad cuf and Landon pushed this dude to the moon and now they prolly feel dumb cuz of this drug addict
Never mentioned the song called lonely the original one
Was he ever on?
Can you make a 83hades video?
In 2018 he should’ve dropped his debut album. That gap did mess him up. Unbothered and anything after was mid music literally nothing good.
Your voice kinda sounds like Matty Ballz
Bro talks with no periods maybe a comma but mainly run on sentences lol
I still enjoy lil skies music. I don't think he fell off. He has had lower montly listeners before
Three point two mil views on a release five months ago
"fell off".
lol. You children are wild.
The fact you just tried to Compare lil xanx, xanex anthem to Red Roses by Skies is absolutely wild…
Xanex blew up because ridiculous lyrics and shock value; Skies made a good song. Crazy disrespect

better trippie redd makes no sense they don’t have similar vibes at all

Yes skies been fell off since 2020. He was never as good as Trippie Redd either

uhh what about juice wrld, peep, mac miller, etc etc. that statement is so incorrect. sure some people can’t make music on drugs but that doesn’t mean everyone can’t…
They all could of been talented with out drugs as well, I think people underestimate just how much of an effect a quality producer has on a track
You have no idea what your saying he never fell of he still pulling 20 mill listeners in a month from base magic and more
You cant do good music when you're on drugs? What about Lil peep that was never sober on a single song he did all his short time living.
Are these videos correct? I feel like he ain’t explain some of the city morgue shit correctly..
