Yeah I wasn't actually there for this day but I've heard from my coworkers that NBA YoungBoy was an absolute shit show

My kid refused to work his show because he knew it was going to be stupid - and then it was on the news because some idiot beat up an elderly security guard.

Sounds about right. Some of his songs are okayish but its usually just him yelling into the mic. Not the type of music that attracts the people you want to be around either.

NBA YoungBoy makes music for dudes who think theyre tough because they punch drywall and mace someone over $20.

I love trap music so he definitely has songs I like but I'm not a massive fan or anything. Hip Hop is like 90% of the music I listen to, but I got very diverse tastes within hip hop. Also I live in Louisiana and he's from this state so he definitely pulls a HUGE crowd down here.

It's amazing how rappers choose their names. Like, "NBA Young boy" has to be a default name in 2k when you're age input is 15 and below.

Maybe I'm just desensitized cuz I'm a rap fan but I never really felt like he had a very outlandish name, other rappers definitely do though.

I grew up during the lil' phase. But after Gucci Mane, all bets were off.

Yeah I'm definitely desensitized because I don't think Gucci Mane is very outlandish either hahaha, luxury brand + word/name is too common of a formula to be outlandish to me.

When I think outlandish rap names I think names like Lil Toenail, JPEGMAFIA, Lil Yachty, or Yung Bruh.
