With Bobby Shmurda being from New York, he’s following a long lineage of Hip Hop icons from the city who left their mark on the culture. But it looks like people are already holding him in the same space as those greats.
During a recent visit to Power 106 in Los Angeles, California, Bobby spoke about the comparisons he usually gets from fans. According to the 26-year-old-rapper, he can see how he’s similar to these people depending on the situation.
“I get a lot of DMX, P. Diddy, 50 [Cent] and JAY [Z] sometimes,” Bobby said. “But when I see Jay I’m like Jay? Jay is wild calm. I’m more err, but I think when I’m on my business side, like when I get in those rooms and shit, yeah, it’s a different person in me, so it’s like you get what you get, I guess. Like I could be at any given time, I can change. When it’s business time, alright, it’s time for business; there’s time for fun and time for ah ah ah. So it’s like a time and place for everything, I know that.”
Bobby could’ve been trolling, as we’ve seen in the past, such as the time he convinced fans in Beverly Hills he was a stripper. However, he wasn’t lying when it came to handling his business. For months, The “Shmoney” rapper had yet to release any new music and claimed his label, Epic Records, was the one continuing to stall on any drops.

Eventually, Bobby Shmurda was able to get out of his contract, something a lot of rappers struggle with when it comes to advancing their careers. As of now, Shmurda is fully independent, with his album coming soon.
I’ve only heard people compare him to Nas X
I’ll give him Diddy cuz he’s pretty damn gay lol. He’s more like Ty Lattimore mixed with Mr Bojangles, and the rapping ability of 50 Tyson.
The only thing he has in common with them is that he also raps…
No, he doesn’t. He post videos and twerks more than anything else. Name one of the forementioned rappers dances on a stripper pole? (outside of Diddy) He might as well be a gay Only Fans model.
They‘re all black, I guess. That‘s about it as far as similarities go.
In white record executive circles we compare Bobby Shmurda to Cannabis, Bubba Sparxx, Joe Budden. Elite company.
Can someone tell this man just shut up and put out some new music already, he talk now thank rap, and him being compare to Jay Z Or DMX, kids this is what happen with you smoking on something else than, weed
Lies. Lies. Lies.
Yes I think I can see the comparison, they’re all past their prime. All the others are legends tho.
I’VE ONLY HEARD PEOPLE COMPARE HIM TO HAMMER.
I say the same thing all the time but it doesn’t make it true.
