In this video we'll compare how Gunna has had a different career compared the others from his era like Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch, Polo G, Dababy and others.
Factsss. Gunna wins bc his sound is versatile. All races can gravitate to his music. To win you gotta step outside the box. Ppl actually are drawn to authenticity and versatility bc it keeps you on ur toes.
@@itsmeflacko1618What do call rap music that fits laying in a tropical sun, on a yacht 8000 miles from from Oblock? It’s called vibe music a nigga can’t be playing hyped YB NBA or playboi Carti trying to chill out in the open seas
@@jadepowell5178 nah he on tour selling out shows an his new album about to be 🔥🔥🔥 people just hating because he did an whole album without features and it went number 1 an album of the year he smoked a lot of people lol.
Nothin to be studied dawg. Dropped music which went viral thru some door noise 😂 buddy had so much better songs in that album alone. He got cocky, didn’t drop music for a min, and his music wasn’t like that, people stop messing w it and moved on to the next best thing. Not that difficult yk, common sense
Gunna can rap and sing, good story teller and he floats on everything and even tho u said he ain’t never have an album as big as My Turn,… DS3, Drip or Drown 2, Wunna, and DS4 are all classics with hella different flows Gunna fasho been da most consistent
@@meumanodenzel4769 Idk Why, Turned your back, Livin wild, Bittersweet, Bread and butter, So far ahead > empire, Back to the moon, these da ones that I can think of
Good shit!!! I truly believe Gunna was Lil Baby “ghost writer” cause the stuff Lil Baby is putting out doesn’t even come close to anything he put out in previous years, I’ve never seen anything like that!!
Maybe helped with the hooks more, but I don't think Lil Baby changed too much, I think he just wasn't hot anymore. His features/duets were always better than full songs as he's too monotone I feel.
Gunna is the most talented out the bunch but had he not gon to prison he would have suffered the “same song” treatment that they give almost every artist nowadays.
DaBaby can actually rap, no mumbling but he contributed to his own fall off. Always using the same flow then that rant at Rolling Loud was the beginning of the end Lil Baby got the swagger & the potential of a star but dude raps & talks in cursive which makes it hard to understand what he's saying plus his music doesn't really have any substance which makes it difficult for people to keep listening to him
To say lil baby music doesn’t have substance means you’re not a real fan of rap bc you’re actually not listening to full length projects that rappers put out. Be fr.
@@caradiamond7740 These are white people and that’s why I hate the internet because we opened our world up so anyone in another damn country can have opinion
Youngboy blew up in 2016 with 38 baby his peak was 2018-19 you can say 2020 was peak yb as well but he is not part of that 2018-19 group because youngboy been hot and making platinum hits for alil stretch
he still is if you think he fell off musically the you must be crazy 💀💀 go on his channel and look at the views and listen to some new music or snippets when he drops i think this month he's going number 5 minimum and if not then it's rigged because when he fuck you to his old label that's when the problems started and ik how it sounds but it's real go look it up they legitly are black balling him because he didn't sign with them one more time because he wanted to own his masters (he doesn't own any of his old music and that hurst as a big yb fan 0.01% on spotify every year since 2017) 💯
Ya in Chicago worldwide no one really listens to these people anymore (as someone not living in America) polo g is not doing any world wide tours while gunna is literally about to perform in south Africa
Gunna had that sauce… I’m sure every rapper has a lil bit gunnas just had that special thing about him. I been sent it way back when I heard “outta sight, outta mind” It’s kinda odd tho, he almost encapsulates the “sauce” of the last 10 years perfectly.
Tbh Lil Baby hasn’t fallen off I fuck wit him and many people do he has his own flow that I fuck with he’s gon get views in the upcoming season it’s just a seasonal fluctuation but my man’s good and will be there to support him and show him love
@@bolt7047 There’s just no evidence for that. How many OG’s from the 90’s are still doing world tours? I don’t think there is a single one. Hip Hop is a young persons genre. It’s all about chasing musical trends that change constantly. Rock n Roll music from the past is just timeless.
@@actavisprime514 nah the only real rock bands still getting attention touring are the huge mainstream acts that are getting attended by their older fans.
lol your proving my point dude. Who gives a flying fuck about what age they are? Selling out arenas is selling out arenas. Only hip hop fans would criticize the age of the people attending because the genre they like is only dominated by a certain age range.
@@actavisprime514you’re correct. Unfortunately hip hop is always going through a metamorphosis. And once you become old you’re done and tossed to the side. There’s a certain respect that older rock bands receive from fans that older hip hop artist don’t get. Just a difference in culture. The pioneers are no longer respected and are labelled as washed therefore their music never lives on with the newer younger crowd. It’s pretty disheartening.
Went to see Gunna this Friday absolute best vibe I’ve ever had a concert. No crazy shit everyone just showing love and vibes. Gunna is like he said ONE OF WUN ❤❤❤❤
Listening to this video after Gunna drop One of Wun, I can say with 100% certainty Gunna is the best of this group. He continues to drop gems w/o major rappers behind him. Gift & a curse did numbers with no features, and One of Wun only got 2 major rappers on it one being Roddy Rich (and it’s a vibe for sure). I always thought lil baby rapped & and had the same flow for every song dating back to 2020. Glad to see Gunna win. He deserves it 💯 Also I heard no mention of Banking on Me, which dropped right after DS4 and that might be a top 3 gunna song.
That SoundCloud 2016-2017 had good beats and innovative class and that 2019 class were more lyrical they should’ve worked together they could’ve took over the world rap would’ve still been on top right now
I think what helped Gunna after the whole jail/snitching thing is that he didn’t hide from it he actually talked ab it and what was going on in his life he got more vulnerable in his music which made fans have more of a connection with him
Most interesting and informative RUclips video I’ve watched in a LONG time! I’m a producer. I believe it’s important to keep the music fresh. To me, it was more interesting seeing how some of these artists fell off. To be honest, I think the reason Gunna’s lasted so long in the limelight is because he makes music that appeals to a wider crowd of people
Yeah he sounds different even compared to 2019. He has at least 4 different eras (sounds)- Dreamchasers 1, Dreams Worth More than Money, Championships, and current day
I’ve followed meek ever since he was broke with nappy dreads and his name was “meek millz”. The problem is meek has always been told that he “screams” too much in his songs, so I think he’s been compensating by rapping with a softer voice, which doesn’t work for him at all. We need that gritty north Philly sound back
He kinda isn't huge anymore though. I mean he had those few hits after he came back for the spectacle of it but I don't see people wanting to hear that kinda music for much longer. I love the music but i don't see it staying relevant for much longer.
Gunna blew up bc his latest album he actually had sh*t to talk about (Rico) he’s always been a good artist but he clearly was never a street guy (which is fine, but his music lacked depth)
I fw Gunna let’s be honest some ppl will literally base the music opinions of social media trends like it’s a trend to hate on ppl like lil baby and Durk now they still fye ppl problem is they want ppl to drop the carter 3 every project and that’s just not realistic 🤷🏽♂️
I think part of it also has to do with the fact that young thug is a really good business man and label owner and he understood how to turn gunna into more than a rapper who will appeal to only one type of hip hop fan
I also think it worked perfectly for him as sounds like the entire opium label began to sky rocket popularity gunnas sound fits better into those sounds as well
I notice the rap game has changed. Ppl are more into experimental rap now and days Folks are tired of the same generic rap. That’s why Gunna was able to go up from here because he switches his swag up. Look at playboi carti. He’s not considered generic but he went from baby voice to full heavy metal punk typa vibe. Ppl shame him but now everyone wanna be opium and type goth. Look at artist who was coming up back in 2014 like young thug. Ppl made fun of him but brought something new to the table. It’s about bringing something new and switching up ur swag and maintaining creativity. When you just sound the same it gets boring.
No hate here, I just wouldn’t necessarily say he escaped it, but I would say his career definitely got more life injected into it to last longer. He does still have fans, but not a cult like yb or carti, and well he’s still having mild commercial success, most riding for him are only in comment sections because they don’t like the industry. His last stuff he dropped barely even charted and it had an offset feature with a high budget video, while being promoted on rap caviar with his face on the cover. I do think that he’ll be able to exit the rap game quietly with the respect of everyone and no clowning, without an ousting and embarrassing fall off like all these other guys, and it’s happening slower.
@@kkrezagang4606 charting 8 on the billboard for a solo rap single a year ago shows he’s still very potent. A lot of rappers have never chartered that high in their entire careers!
@@richardbat2847fukumean got carried by tiktok ngl. The song itself without the “eyuah” is super mid. Most people who listen to this song are white girls who ain’t even into his other music
Besides the Gunna title, didn't expect this opening of the Pandora Box with regard to the repetitive sound the current crop of rappers dish up. Be grateful someone like Future still exists 😎
NGL when Gunna was released I blasted that 6ix9ine ft Gunna FEEFA with a new level of entertainment from that collab. Bro had a little character arc but the anime was still hitting!
Dababy is the best rapper out of this time period and should have been the one to make it out but he got canceled. He knows about the rapping the same controversy and addressed it saying he knows how to rap but this is what’s selling so he’s not stepping on it. What he’s been doing since cancellation has been straight heat. Bro putting in work for his spot back I respect it
It’s pretty simple Gunna makes the best music out of all of them lil baby and da baby are the only others with actual talent out of the artists named but they lack versatility. If the ysl rico never happened gunna might even be bigger than he is now going off the momentum of ds4 and pushin p
Lil Baby is trending #1 on youtube rn as i post this comment… Gunna isn’t and Gunna put out a whole album while Baby hasn’t dropped a damn thing solo wise 😂😂 cmon now, talk wit sense! and i love Gunna’s work but y’all just be on the net lying for fun
The difference between them and gunna is gunna knows how to make great albums over and over. Ds3,DOD2,wunna,DS4,AG&AC,and one of Wun are all amazing projects. The other rappers from gunnas era could only make a great album a couple of times before their flows got tiresome.
Gunna is just better flat out, when people used to compare him and lil baby I know baby would not last, he was hot for a moment but the music never matched the hype.. gunna music was always beautiful and made to last
King Von would've easily been mountain top above anyone you mentioned And honestly, I loved Pop Smoke. I think he would've been right up there in the second tier behind King Von.
He outlast everybody due to his versatility plus as time as everybody catch on to his wave he already had DS1&2 out already. So if you went back and do your homework on him you would appreciate his new style,flow and work. If he was signed and pushed by QC the way they put Lil Baby in front of Migos,we probably wouldn’t of even know Lil Baby as much or not at all (his flow took time to progress whereas Gunna came in flowing i.e Floyd Mayweather on Young Thug’s Jefferey)
Gunna and baby came up in 17-18 not 19, there’s a wide (and false) narrative that both of them were on the come up in 2019 when they actually blew up in 2018 and then in 2019 ppl were saying they fell off. It was only after a continue string of hits in the beginning of 2020 from Lil Baby Woah, Sum 2 prove, bc and finally his album dropping that fans started saying he made a massive come back. And gunna piggybacked off lil baby’s success w Wunna and dollars on my head. After lil Baby reached a new peak w bigger picture and that song w 42 dugg ppl started this narrative that he never fell off. Just goes to show history can constantly be rewritten no matter how recent.
The main reason is the fans of the genre. How can be 2 years too much time between albums? You want projects being composed, recorded, promoted and released in months and then wonder why the quality decreases....smh
Reason: his music has a air of smooth calm sophistication that reaches outside the hoods and can be played on yachts in the Mediterranean
BINGO🚨
ahhaha good shit! coming from a european!! 😉
Factsss. Gunna wins bc his sound is versatile. All races can gravitate to his music. To win you gotta step outside the box. Ppl actually are drawn to authenticity and versatility bc it keeps you on ur toes.

Very true, another problem is that a lot of these fans be switching up fast asl when it comes to their opinions on rappers

Wunna was a special album lets bffr masterclass
Listening to this video after Gunna drop One of Wun, I can say with 100% certainty Gunna is the best of this group. He continues to drop gems w/o major rappers behind him. Gift & a curse did numbers with no features, and One of Wun only got 2 major rappers on it one being Roddy Rich (and it’s a vibe for sure). I always thought lil baby rapped & and had the same flow for every song dating back to 2020. Glad to see Gunna win. He deserves it 💯
Also I heard no mention of Banking on Me, which dropped right after DS4 and that might be a top 3 gunna song.
Guna had something to actually talk about rap dying cause rappers at the top ain’t got shxt to talk about
He raps on any type of beat low key which also helps
I was in highschool when they all got big all our football games had them on shuffle😂
I was in college. Never Recover by Lil Baby and Gunna had those parties lit.
Polo g didn’t fall off, homie just didn’t release an album for 3 years cuz of his personal shit

He just did It again
Gunna lyrical wit a solid flow , jus can’t die to easy wit the consistency he got
Yo this is random but does meek mill raps sound differently to anyone here?? I’ve listened to his recent stuff and he sounds higher pitched
Yea
Yeah he sounds different even compared to 2019. He has at least 4 different eras (sounds)- Dreamchasers 1, Dreams Worth More than Money, Championships, and current day
It was Diddy that upped his pitch 🍆
I’ve followed meek ever since he was broke with nappy dreads and his name was “meek millz”. The problem is meek has always been told that he “screams” too much in his songs, so I think he’s been compensating by rapping with a softer voice, which doesn’t work for him at all.

You can tell Gunna actually enjoys the art of making music, these other guys just wanted clout and money and don’t care much for the art
Didn’t lil babies last album sell more than than gunnas last 2 combined?😭
Great video! It was put together damn near perfect. Please continue put these out 😅
this video is so well put together! the way you show how he managed to stay relevant is also well put together! good Sh!t
He kinda isn't huge anymore though. I mean he had those few hits after he came back for the spectacle of it but I don't see people wanting to hear that kinda music for much longer. I love the music but i don't see it staying relevant for much longer.

Bruh. Your the best. No bias only facts.
Yeah bro you know your shit. This is dope!
Facts Gunna is the better songwriter of his era 💯🔥 it is what it is. He doesn’t have a bad album in his catalog
I still cant get over the fact he said "villain with a voice, no remorse, glad I made that choice" way before tht shit went down lmao
I think part of it also has to do with the fact that young thug is a really good business man and label owner and he understood how to turn gunna into more than a rapper who will appeal to only one type of hip hop fan
Gunna was so close to Young Thug and he is judt legendary and in a complete different legaue. Also he didnt die or git locked up.
Great channel
I also think it worked perfectly for him as sounds like the entire opium label began to sky rocket popularity gunnas sound fits better into those sounds as well
Dababy the ONLY person mentioned who album could be considered a flop pls do ur research ugh

They burnt lil baby out tho because dude dropped in 2017 and had more hits then any of these people put together but damn he can’t be in slump
Lil Baby Fell Off When? 💀 He Still Top 8 Streamed Rap Artist This Year
This is glazing, all gunna did was realize he should make 1:30 minute songs for tiktok
This is comment is so brain dead💀
and gunna with the afro beats is soooo good
NGL when Gunna was released I blasted that 6ix9ine ft Gunna FEEFA with a new level of entertainment from that collab. Bro had a little character arc but the anime was still hitting!
Gunna Wunna flow is different... 🔥
The short tension spans of these younger kids are also hurting music. Because they hate on everything
He did it because young hip hop fans (especially a mix of ethnicities) don’t care about “snitching”. He was already on and he could make hits.
Dababy is the best rapper out of this time period and should have been the one to make it out but he got canceled. He knows about the rapping the same controversy and addressed it saying he knows how to rap but this is what’s selling so he’s not stepping on it. What he’s been doing since cancellation has been straight heat. Bro putting in work for his spot back I respect it
"The "Wunna" album was insane 100k first week ,70 million streams opening day ....
Ironically out of all these rappers Gunna is my favorite, ole girl mentioned his name too, now this video and these comments confirm it.
Gunna is 🔥
nobody cares abt first week sales we just want good music
Good job
It’s pretty simple Gunna makes the best music out of all of them lil baby and da baby are the only others with actual talent out of the artists named but they lack versatility. If the ysl rico never happened gunna might even be bigger than he is now going off the momentum of ds4 and pushin p
Lil Baby is trending #1 on youtube rn as i post this comment… Gunna isn’t and Gunna put out a whole album while Baby hasn’t dropped a damn thing solo wise 😂😂 cmon now, talk wit sense! and i love Gunna’s work but y’all just be on the net lying for fun
lol Baby’s latest feature is bigger than gunnas album 😂😂
Watch/listen in playback speed 1.5x for it to sound like he’s not trying to waste your time.
The difference between them and gunna is gunna knows how to make great albums over and over. Ds3,DOD2,wunna,DS4,AG&AC,and one of Wun are all amazing projects. The other rappers from gunnas era could only make a great album a couple of times before their flows got tiresome.
PopSmoke would’ve still been hot right now, idc he brought back breath of fresh air to hip hop.
The difference is gunna actually talented I couldn’t switch on ma dawg gunna no matter how bad the situation is u can take a next man talent away
Here after One of Wun
Durk has not fallen off. He has been doing it longer than anyone and is still relevant.
I think if gunna didn’t deliver after the whole “snitching” he would’ve flopped but he delivered A Gift and a Curse with hits !
Gunna just dropped again one of wun doing numbers 💪🏾
Yes sir the cream always comes to the top! Gunna Wunna!😤🙏🏾
Gunna is just better flat out, when people used to compare him and lil baby I know baby would not last, he was hot for a moment but the music never matched the hype.. gunna music was always beautiful and made to last
Whats the name of this song at 6:13
Ski ,young thug ft Gunna
King Von would've easily been mountain top above anyone you mentioned And honestly, I loved Pop Smoke. I think he would've been right up there in the second tier behind King Von.
Not even
He outlast everybody due to his versatility plus as time as everybody catch on to his wave he already had DS1&2 out already. So if you went back and do your homework on him you would appreciate his new style,flow and work. If he was signed and pushed by QC the way they put Lil Baby in front of Migos,we probably wouldn’t of even know Lil Baby as much or not at all (his flow took time to progress whereas Gunna came in flowing i.e Floyd Mayweather on Young Thug’s Jefferey)
Gunnas music was always better than his peers! Even better now because he has more substance
Gunna and baby came up in 17-18 not 19, there’s a wide (and false) narrative that both of them were on the come up in 2019 when they actually blew up in 2018 and then in 2019 ppl were saying they fell off. It was only after a continue string of hits in the beginning of 2020 from Lil Baby Woah, Sum 2 prove, bc and finally his album dropping that fans started saying he made a massive come back. And gunna piggybacked off lil baby’s success w Wunna and dollars on my head. After lil Baby reached a new peak w bigger picture and that song w 42 dugg ppl started this narrative that he never fell off. Just goes to show history can constantly be rewritten no matter how recent.
The main reason is the fans of the genre. How can be 2 years too much time between albums? You want projects being composed, recorded, promoted and released in months and then wonder why the quality decreases....smh
