Wack100 & Vlad Argue Over NBA YoungBoy Being the Last "Gangsta Rapper" Ever in Hip-Hop (Part 17)
In a recent heated discussion, Wack100 and Vlad debated whether NBA YoungBoy is the last true "gangsta rapper" in hip-hop today. Wack100 emphasized that while the mixtape era thrived on street credibility, today's youth seemingly care less about glorifying street life. However, he acknowledged NBA YoungBoy as the current embodiment of the gangster rapper—someone with a troubled past who has faced legal consequences and is now attempting to reform.Vlad agreed, noting YoungBoy’s history gives him authenticity fans recognize, something newer artists lack. Wack100 challenged the idea that there are any fresh rappers with genuine street influence like YoungBoy, citing artists such as Zo Summer or Rod Wave as examples who don’t embody the same gangster image. They both agreed the era of rappers openly living dangerous street lifestyles appears to be fading, making NBA YoungBoy possibly the last prominent figure representing that gritty, real-life narrative in hip-hop.
