21 Savage has explained how Atlanta is still reeling from the loss of TakeOff and Young Thug’s potential prison sentence in the YSL RICO case.
The “A Lot” rapper sat down with Complex‘s Jordan Rose after being named the publication’s Rapper of the Year for 2022 and he detailed the current void being felt throughout the city.
“You can feel a lot of energy missing from Atlanta right now,” he said. “Atlanta just ain’t the same, honestly. That shit be really driving me crazy. I feel like we took a lot of big ass losses last year.
“I don’t feel like we’ll ever recover from that shit, if I’m being honest. Especially with TakeOff. I feel like we’re just in a dark place right now in Atlanta, as far as our energy. Going outside ain’t the same, clubs ain’t the same, you just feel it.”
The Slaughter Gang boss argued that certain figures like a TakeOff, who was shot and killed outside a Houston bowling alley in November, or a Thugger, who’s fighting for his life on trial, just aren’t replaceable in the culture.
“I feel like certain people, when you lose them or they’re not physically able to be present, certain people just aren’t replaceable,” 21 continued.
“There’s nothing you can do to fill that void. I really don’t think there’s nothing we can do for real, but hold on to what we have left and cherish what we have left.”
Thugger is still in the beginning stages of the sprawling YSL RICO case where he faces eight charges.
Meanwhile, with 21 having to undertake a bigger load of ATL’s spotlight, he’s gearing up to drop another solo LP — his first since 2018’s I Am > I Was — following a successful run of menacing features and teaming up with Drake for Her Loss in 2022.
“I’m going to drop very, very soon though,” he teased. “I think it’s going to impact. I always put a lot of effort into my albums, so you can expect the best of the best. Not no microwave shit. It’s going to be a solid, good ass album. We’re very close.”
This crumpet eating Wanker needs to go back to England and stop trying to Claim Atlanta.
Sorry fam he lived in Atlanta since he was 7. Think he can claim whatever tf he wants.
Faggot 21 faggot 21
always talkin bout faggots. Sounds like you got an infatuation with faggots. you a faggot, faggot?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
sorry to say, this is far from the worst thing that’s happened to Georgia in the (nearly) 250 years it’s been a state. People die, people mourn, people move on.
Atlanta will get back to the killing of each other real soon. Trust me.
For someone saying he ran down on 30 opps, he sure does do a ton of interviews. Is there that much time in a day?
Don’t Forget Trouble 🤘🏾
Takeoff’s death I totally understand but YSL RICO ? The dumbest people in captivity. Young thug decided to continue to be a criminal despite having millions and being a successful rapper. Instead of giving his crew real jobs he made them his shooter’s and drug dealers. How stupid can you be? Looks like life plus 20

He might be right. Their rap career certainly isn’t important enough to have any profound effect on the city. These boys ain’t legendary by a long shot in terms of their impact on the Atlanta rap scene. They ain’t anything special. They’ve made our city look bad. Really bad. Especially that turd who goes by the name of young thug. The circumstances surrounding the death of takeoff are embarrassing to say the least. Never mind Atlanta looking bad. His death made all of black America look bad. But because of social media, his death got way more hype than it deserved. Neither him nor the migos were anything special. Their music wasn’t anything special either. They didn’t do anything that hadn’t been done before by a long list of far more talented artists. His death wasn’t anything to be proud of. Ysl. Young stupid loser. Young thug is a shit stain that might not ever wash out. You don’t shit where you eat. He did exactly that. He’s earned everything that’s currently on his plate. And he deserves what’s coming to him. He betrayed everybody by dragging them into this mess. He brought the heat down on everybody. The feds don’t need anybody to snitch on him. Cooperation isn’t necessary. He’s provided federal prosecutors with everything they need to lock his ass up. He’s snitched on himself.
