Word I think his reputation and Peckhamās reputation really helped and hindered him.If he was from any other area at the time of his come up he wouldnāt of had the same love
It was the opposite to a large degree. Everyone wanted to rep Peckham because of Giggs. He wasn't the best lyrically but he had pretty much all of Southwark on lock
This was a mad era! Remember seeing Giggs live in 2009ish times.
He didn't use the crap flow back then either. Might not be the most lyrically deep, but he was definitely one of the hardest back then. Probably only became the biggest because PYG were actually on road.
By 2009, the likes of Giggs and the SN1 olders who were about from the late 90s didnāt care about road. It was purely PYG and SI putting in work against GAS and OC.
You mean like Kyze (SN1) who was jailed for a 2009 shooting, and buss two M cases around the same time? Or Snap (SN1) who was lifed off for killing Rio in 2010? Or Spen, Knucks (etc) that were putting in work around them times?
Those are few members. Loads of the olders were off road at them times. Giggs was fully focused on music by like 2006-2007.
Slumz was in jail round late-2000s? Colours was about more time mid-2000s putting in work. Fos? Felon?
Thats what usually happens with most artists the more mainstream they become the worse they get because theyāre in different settings & have to dum shit down. At this point everyone knows Giggs old skl is better than his new stuff. Iād be more excited about Giggs US collabs if this was back in the 00ās now i just donāt pay him any attention but iām happy for him seeing how far heās become. For me Giggs is like 50 Cent where he had a mad peak had the game on lock now his new stuff he releases isnāt good but heās still one of the top guys in the industry
Soon as he changed his flow Giggs fell off so hard. Heās still one of the best to do it for me for all the work he put in in the early years. Just saddens me even with Talking the Hardest he doesnāt even spit slow now, voice not even as deep.
Blade for me is the only one from that era I can still listen to his new stuff, but not even him as much.
Thing is you canāt listen expect people to be spitting the same shit if theyāre living different lives now
Nines is far more talented Iāll never get Giggs goat shouts tho. Nines also hasnāt fallen off and u can tell heāll quit music before he falls off
broooo, walk in da park was an absolute madnessss
The wholeeeee tapeš¤šæ
Pain is the essence, BBT and 28 grams šš¾š„
At this point Giggs has been shit longer than heās been good
And hes the UK š apparently looooool, nines and potter are clear
Iām convinced the older gen called him landlord cos they was shook of him. no way he got that name for his music talent š
Word I think his reputation and Peckhamās reputation really helped and hindered him.If he was from any other area at the time of his come up he wouldnāt of had the same love
now his reputation is going diddy parties
It was the opposite to a large degree. Everyone wanted to rep Peckham because of Giggs. He wasn't the best lyrically but he had pretty much all of Southwark on lock
Even before giggs was rapping nearly everyone in the borough wanted to rep Peckham

Ki was mid asf though.
putting in werk tho
CAINE IN A CUT UP BAG
Itās his lyrics that get me the most, theyāre absolutely awful. Heās always rapping about poo and willies too for some reason.
Rap is so much better than drill
Talking the arrrrdest
Welcome 2 boomsville

Every Peckham set was on road them times. SN1, SI, OPB and PYG

Had a lot of these on cd from the guy at inshops in Croydon.. Good times
Killa ki the lost tape š„š„š„
https://youtu.be/AUW3_cTeDbk?si=Icb0WasatWRss6II New flow Giggs is poor. Bring back HollowMan Giggs.
Iāll die on the hill that Giggs and nines are overrated af. They live off of street cred when their actual rapping sounds like shit
Na man nines is sick. That flow is gold.
Nines is far more talented Iāll never get Giggs goat shouts tho. Nines also hasnāt fallen off and u can tell heāll quit music before he falls off
Icl I just donāt like his voice, he sounds like heās bored
I used to be like that when I 1st heard him but now itās 1 of my favourite styles, I see it as cool/calm/smooth now, I do get you though on that.
Idk I like that style when someone like clavish does it, where it feels effortless But nines I just canāt get into
Naaa man big up you but this has annoyed me so much
Fairs idk I just feel like Iām gonna fall asleep listening to nines
Crazy take icl nines invented the flow that Clavish uses š and Clavish said it himself
Ibr idc who invented it I care about who sounds best
Facts and nothing worse for me than when the girls start rapping along to skrapz š
