    Silkk grew up in the Bay longer than his older brothers did. He even graduated from High School in Richmond, CA. His style of rapping is influenced by a form of Westcoast rapping called "Turf Talking" which is characterized by rapping "off beat." E-40 and countless others rapped liked this in the 1990s (and still do to an extent). Silkk is far from being the worst rapper of all time. If you're from the Left Coast, especially the Bay, you'd probably agree with me too.

    Silkk's growth was stunted because Beats By The Pound left. No Limit wasn't as good lyrically as Ca$h Money and artists like Master P and Silkk were saved because of the beats by Beats by The Pound. When they left, everyone realized how the beats were what carried No Limit so everyone pretty much stop listening to their new music.

    This might be the most “controlled” growth stunt outside of Mike Jones. No drugs, violence, beef or jail time and level headed businessmen. They knew what they wanted out the game until it dried up while at the same time established a lucrative future. That should be celebrated heavily despite the criticism they received.

    @deshannonjames981 3 года назад +2

    The problem, which nobody ever points out because most people wouldn't know, is he was freestyling most of that. If you rap, you can tell when people are freestyling. Like KLC and others have mentioned, Master P freestyled EVERY verse. Not this punch in one line at a time stuff that people are doing now. Silkk used to do the same thing, but when you're trying to rap fast like that with style, you can't really be consistent freestyling. So, sometimes he would catch lightning in a bottle and come with a verse that's FIRE like on TRU "There They Go" but on the flipside a lot of times he would end up with verses that's just unacceptable and should never have been allowed to come out.

Like actual rapping or are they counting that as a whole? That’s interesting. Because I think Earl is amazing. His lofi thing is just a style he adopted. It’s just rare you see people go from the professional sound to the very lofi style. Usually people go from lofi to professional due to to money means.
