Yeah right who yall got fetty wap and naugty by nature thats a joke
Naughty is dope, though. Fetty is not, however. Jersey also got Redman and Joe Budden.
jokes on you cuz Naughty touring 25 years after the fact punk. Name a artist from your hood that Jersey can put up against Redman today or even can go catalog for catalog. Latifah winning Academy Awards… You still sing “Killing Me Softly” with the Bonita Applebaum instrumental. You watch Law-N-Order with Ice T (yes go ahead and say he not from Jersey). The Lords still tour, Rah Digga doing Hip Hop education. Talk to me punk.
Teach these new school ahem new fools who claim to know what’s relevant or not, didn’t their hero Em borrow HEAVILY form Treach and Redman who both happen to hail from Jersey?
The one dude that is fire from New Jersey is Hodgy Beats! Check him out if you support your city.. Be Healthy
yeah haters! fetty is now a platinum artist. he’s here to stay!679 or die!
Soulja Boy and Chingy were also platinum artists and they’re both irrelevant. Fetty Wap will follow them in irrelevance.
and your salty ass point is? Haters finna hate
Pretty sure his point was the he’s going to fade into irrelevance. Reading is fundamental
And dickriders gonna dickride. The only salty one here is you. Doesn’t change the fact that this dude is a flash in the pan novelty.
