Ant Glizzy represents the wrong aspects of D.C. and has the wrong mindset. I'm from DC and we have never been nationally known for rap. DC created GO GO music which put us on the map musically but GOGO music only went so far. Memphis, Atlanta, New York, California all have their own sound. DC never had a rap scene so we can't expect Wale to create a sound and put the whole city on his back. Wale did his part by bringing light to where he claims he from and it's your job to grind and make the most of the attention just like Fat Trel and Shy Glizzy did. The only thing holding Ant back is he talks too much and nobody even responds to him 🤣🤣🤣Wale could've come out and never even mentioned DC or GOGO music 😂 he brought the attention. Ant looking for a father figure to guide him through life and make him successful but he needs to find his real daddy and stop putting some much pressure on Shy and Wale to help him out.

Wale and cordae are the two best artist from DC currently. I give them respect because they never tried to be anything beyond themselves. People don't give them enough credit if you listening to the artistry they get better with time. It so many intelligent lyrical cats from DC but our problem is we try to ride the wave of other cities just to get on. That's what hold us back more than anything. We don't develop our own unique sound and the artist that's talented have real lyricism ..word play classified as cornballs...we not Chicago...we not Atlanta...so many people think that's that's the top of the top...but we in a position to literally change the sound and the direction of music and culture for black people with the talent here and all we gotta do is be ourselves...support each other.

Fact of the matter is a lot of the DC rappers are not doing anything to stand out for real. All rapping about the same shit, similar ass beats, same Chief Keef type videos. No Savage could have done something on the mainstream level because although he was rapping about the same shit as every other DC artist. He had good work ethic and actually was lyrical with it. I honestly believe that being on Glizzy Gang was not good for him because Shy never really put anybody on successfully, even though he has plenty industry connections.

I see that a lot with East Coast rappers (DC, Baltimore, NYC, Philly etc) my perspective is this. Since the east coast is so densely populated and some of the largest metro areas and population in the country it’s easy to get local/hood buzz and like you mentioned it makes y’all very complacent.

It’s a difference between putting someone on and complaining about getting put on. 1. The current crop of DMV rappers with deals, Not under Wale’s umbrella. 2. The bulk of the artists that were associated with Board of Administration didn’t blown up per se. Trel got his, but did a lot of grinding after he left BOA. 3. There are other DMV Rappers with deals. Ade, Goldlink, Logic, Rico Nasty, Oddisee… They just aren’t in the trap space. What Ant is saying is, Wale’s 10+ year run hasn’t been filled with a flood of rappers after him. Granted there’s others for sure. But the Yo Gotti’s, The Durk’s, The Lil Baby’s, The Gucci’s, they all brought others to the table and set plays for others to flourish. THAT hasn’t happened YET here in The DMV. So when random rappers say, “Wale put me on.” It’s more so, “Wale co-signed me and looked out.” And not, “Wale used his platform to get me a deal.” I get what Ant saying. Ant ain’t complaining about not being out on.

Great points and I'll add that DC has never been known for having rap stars or a major label and Wale wasn't even wanted it was by default. DCTC aka Deacon Preizt would've been the best choice but he went the CHH wrote at that time and labels weren't supporting that yet.

Ant Glizzy represents the wrong aspects of D.C. and has the wrong mindset. I'm from DC and we have never been nationally known for rap. DC created GO GO music which put us on the map musically but GOGO music only went so far. Memphis, Atlanta, New York, California all have their own sound. DC never had a rap scene so we can't expect Wale to create a sound and put the whole city on his back. Wale did his part by bringing light to where he claims he from and it's your job to grind and make the most of the attention just like Fat Trel and Shy Glizzy did. The only thing holding Ant back is he talks too much and nobody even responds to him 🤣🤣🤣Wale could've come out and never even mentioned DC or GOGO music 😂 he brought the attention. Ant looking for a father figure to guide him through life and make him successful but he needs to find his real daddy and stop putting some much pressure on Shy and Wale to help him out.

Fact of the matter is a lot of the DC rappers are not doing anything to stand out for real. All rapping about the same shit, similar ass beats, same Chief Keef type videos. No Savage could have done something on the mainstream level because although he was rapping about the same shit as every other DC artist. He had good work ethic and actually was lyrical with it. I honestly believe that being on Glizzy Gang was not good for him because Shy never really put anybody on successfully, even though he has plenty industry connections.
It is crazy because I typed this right before the part where he say he would have no savage be the face of the DMV rap scene, with which I agree with 100%. He has both the culture and the image in order to sustain a brand and continually bring attention to himself, on top of being a skilled artist. honorable mention would be SCHLISH, but his music is more lyrical and for the introspective crowd
Fuck outta here, savage one dimensional and not the proper representative for the most politically powerful place on the planet. (Dc) Maybe if he was from Louisiana or Chi we might have something.

Assuming there are more "gangsta" rappers than there are regular rappers is prematurely ignorant. Maybe Ant is just speaking from his lense I think his argument is biased.

Ngl past the other shit ! Bro needa become a ig comedian bro funny asf 😂😂😂 “That man in the garage” had me crying 🤣🤣
Nah in the garage got me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m from Landover and the problem with the DMV rappers are they put too much focus on being the biggest rapper in the DMV. The world is too big, yeah it’s cool to pop off here but this ain’t it. They make it here and get complacent
Right…..being the “hottest in the DMV” ain’t really going to do too much for you.
Well put.
I see that a lot with East Coast rappers (DC, Baltimore, NYC, Philly etc) my perspective is this. Since the east coast is so densely populated and some of the largest metro areas and population in the country it’s easy to get local/hood buzz and like you mentioned it makes y’all very complacent.
Also many ppl don't or didn't understand Wale's story and wanted him to do more than what he could
All jokes aside, this was a great debate 😅💯
Facts
No..this guy is weak af
He can’t admit when he wrong.
… definitely tried to spin the question lol. Shawn definitely asked the right questions
Shouts to Wale for doing what he do and becoming what he's became but he doesn't embody the essence of DC. Slim don't owe nobody shit tho.
The essence of Dc isn’t just being a street nigga. Wale represents the average Dc black man.
@@jirrellj Facts bro. These niggas lost😂😂😂😂
“Bus Boy’s And Poets Music” 😂
That ay bruh ant responded with after he gave him that recipe told me all I need to know
I’m glad u spoke on this Shawn literally everyone I kno from DC nobody fw Wale an I never understood it lol but ironically he sayin wale soft etc but Wale one of the only rappers who you haven’t heard ever get his chain took tho 🤷♂️
Does he wear chains?
It’s a difference between putting someone on and complaining about getting put on. 1. The current crop of DMV rappers with deals, Not under Wale’s umbrella. 2. The bulk of the artists that were associated with Board of Administration didn’t blown up per se. Trel got his, but did a lot of grinding after he left BOA. 3. There are other DMV Rappers with deals. Ade, Goldlink, Logic, Rico Nasty, Oddisee… They just aren’t in the trap space. What Ant is saying is, Wale’s 10+ year run hasn’t been filled with a flood of rappers after him. Granted there’s others for sure. But the Yo Gotti’s, The Durk’s, The Lil Baby’s, The Gucci’s, they all brought others to the table and set plays for others to flourish. THAT hasn’t happened YET here in The DMV. So when random rappers say, “Wale put me on.” It’s more so, “Wale co-signed me and looked out.” And not, “Wale used his platform to get me a deal.” I get what Ant saying. Ant ain’t complaining about not being out on.
Great points and I'll add that DC has never been known for having rap stars or a major label and Wale wasn't even wanted it was by default. DCTC aka Deacon Preizt would've been the best choice but he went the CHH wrote at that time and labels weren't supporting that yet.
3:50 OMFG😭
Ant real for putting No Savage on 🔥, if you not from the DMV, listen to “Reaper” by him.
Listen to any song that man don’t miss straight 🔥
@@MrQuadrick well he missed in the mall
No savage been on…ant didn’t do that…savage got that shit out the mud
There is no way for Wale to put on anyone but himself on , he brought a light to Dc with using the gogo music , you gotta do the work!! This is a crippling mentality. He clearly doesn’t know how the industry works . Wale not even a street nigga , they want a crash dummy to represent Dc . 🙄😑
his face when he at 2:56 was hilarious..nigga was damn good point hahaha
Can someone help me understand why Wale is obligated to doing anything this guy is talking about 🤔🥴
Why would you not turn up your city once your big?
He not obligated ant just saying how yah co-signing a man who do t co-sign us. He used DC to get on but he from MD and he don’t give back to the city.
Say Cheese got some good questions in this one
DC is wide open, nobody don’t want the torch
Look at his face at the 3:00 mark🤣🤣🤷🏿♂️🤣🤣🤣
He talks with entitlement just like a woman. If I was Wale, I wouldn’t be around them either.
da dmv got so many hard artist its ridiculous and so slept on 🤦♂️
DC trash detroit better
No they don’t
We got hella but most of them sound exactly alike
@@ariakpabio You hater, hating don't get you nowhere
@@devvonn.3339 wrong
not the Garage 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ant is the personification of the classic crab in the barrel mentality in DC..everybody here thinks like him and that's why the scene didn't blow-up
That narrative is false but i get your point
@@drphot6050 so what is the true narrative?
🎯🎯 this the one
DC don't have mainstream rappers. Don't put DMV in it. PG and Moco has Logic, Cordea, Rico Nasty, Xanman, Goonew. Not to mention athletes, Kevin Durant, etc
....Lil dude, Q da fool, Lil Manny, Lulu P...PG county baby...SOUTHSIDE 💯
They got Primo Rice 🍚 too!
Shy had songs with people like young thug and gotti back in his young jefe days and have songs now with big names like uzi and youngboy, he definitely a mainstream artist
DM*NV
Wale will always get respect in DC for Nike Boots 🫶🏾 that IS the real DC… but it’s been 15 years, and I do agree with Ant that he could put more energy to assisting DC artists make it in the industry. However let’s not forget, Wale really from Maryland so it’s not like he’s connected to a neighborhood in the city anyway 🤷🏽♂️ & Shawn is right our artists don’t do enough on their own to make it if we’re being real. No Savage a perfect example 😢
Bruh the industry don’t even like Wale he has no pull, that’s a testament to want ant saying Wale put a lot of bad taste in ppls mouths n he’s the representation of this area so it’s just all bad fr. Gotta burn this shit from the root then regrow it so I ain’t mad at ant for doing what he doing
@@cabbage1593 I respect Ant for his opinion but he helped ppl. He was on Shy glizzy first mixtape, helped him by bringing him on tour, this before Shy was anybody and before Chief Keef diss. Secondly he still was fucking with Fat Trel. He also stamped lightshow. He also put gogo in his music, dress and swag was us. Wale was on that fly shit before rappers was wearing SB dunks, slim jeans etc. Put respect on wale name.
@@yessir8805 Trust I used to be a fan but I know he’s done more bad than good deserves no respect honestly. I’ve been around artist who are bigger than Wale who have told me personally they have had bad experiences with him. And shit like that does nothing but hurt my city.
@@yessir8805 and all those ppl u named rather they didn’t take advantage or watever the case may be aren’t nowhere nobody cares bout those artist they have no respect in the industry no big relationship let alone successful careers so they not even “put on” fr lol we gotta be real
I agree with everything you said except the part where you used No Savage as a example. How No Savage didn't do enough on his own when he got 1 million plus views on multiple songs? I think No Savage was on his way to blowing up, I think that mall situation set him back tho, if that whole mall situation didn't happen, it would have only been a matter of time, he would have started blowing up eventually
The reason why wale is the biggest is because his sound is different then the generic, over saturated hood rap
Worddd
Just Imagine If Niggas Said Kayne west wasn’t From Chicago Cause He wasn’t Street Rapper Or Kendrick Lamar Doesn’t Represent Los Angeles Because He isn’t street artist or doesn’t sound Like The Old Death Row .
