Gunna seems to be making quiet strikes to eclipse Younger Thug’s throne as he thrives musically whereas Thug stays entangled in authorized battles

Gunna won’t be shouting from the rooftops however his latest strikes recommend he’s feeling just like the king of Atlanta proper now. Snitch labels don’t cease an individual from taking the crown in 2025.

The identical rapper who was publicly dragged by the mud for allegedly cooperating with authorities through the YSL RICO case is now driving excessive. A brand new album, loopy streaming numbers and dumb radio rotation. Gunna appears unfazed by the streets’ chilly shoulder. He is perhaps quietly taking intention at his former ally and label boss Younger Thug.

Test this out: “We was pushin p now I’m pushing the bar, I got here out of jail hotter ain’t that ironic/You may as nicely stayed within the field/You fell by the ground whenever you received out…Tried to internet up Wunna however I’m chopping by spiders, your drip dated whereas I’m strolling the runway…”

And whereas nothing in his lyrics spells out Younger Thug’s title instantly, it’s clear clear who he’s speaking about.

“Rap beefs aren’t what they was once,” somebody wrote me in a DM. “Gone are the times of ‘Ether,’ ‘Takeover’ or ‘’No Vaseline.’ Now we get whispers and obscure IG captions.”

I don’t see the fallacious on this evaluation.

Gunna’s newest observe doesn’t throw jabs within the traditional diss report model. However we will really feel the boldness. He’s rising quick, releasing data that bump in golf equipment and flood playlists. Younger Thug’s comeback hasn’t landed as anticipated. His newest mission, dropped below the burden of ongoing authorized strain. Don’t get it tousled – Thug stays a towering determine in Atlanta’s rap legacy.

The authorized cloud nonetheless hanging over Younger Thug makes a loopy return more durable. He’s nonetheless the center and founding father of YSL, nonetheless revered, nonetheless feared. However we all know he’s tremendous authorized and law-abiding too. That is the music enterprise! Notion is commonly extra highly effective than historical past.

In the meantime, Gunna is sliding by chaos along with his head excessive. Not mad at him. He went by lots too. He’s received a fanbase that hasn’t turned its again on him. Ever since 6ix9ine one way or the other slithered again into relevancy post-snitch scandal, the thought of “rats” ruining rap careers appears outdated to youthful audiences.

That is the content material period. Again within the day, it was “snitches get stitches.” However right this moment, a fantastic tune will get you again.

Younger Thug’s silence is odd. Whereas it’s early, he’s but to reply. Not even an ominous tweet. He may need to sit back.

For now, Gunna could also be main within the charts, however the story of Thug-n-Gunna is much from over.

One factor’s for certain: Atlanta is watching.
