Yung Gravy?

Rap names are so lazy and stupid anymore. Everyone's a "Lil" or "Young" something. Lame.

How sure are you that this is the reasoning?

Do you think he was 5'4" when he was 8? Wouldnt he have been Big Wayne then, cause I feel like that's a pretty fuckin big 8 year old.

That’s literally the joke. It’s a character.

If you think his name is bad listen to his “music”

The only song of his I know is the one referenced in this post, and the musical component of the song isn’t even his. So as far as I know, all he’s good at is saying random words with someone else’s track playing behind him.

Donald Glover used a name generator, pretty lazy... However, I got my son's name the same way.

Dear god, looking at his photo, he's about a few rape accusations away from being a straight up caricature of white rappers

He was the "headline" personality at the xgames yesterday. He didn't seem like a terrible dude at all.. But then he started rapping and everything fell apart. It was out of key, out of time, mumblecore unintelligible bullshit. The kind of music you can only hear nowadays in the era of genZ Spotify/YouTube singles culture. People who can spend all their time in their bedroom fucking around on pro tools and make a good single, get a few hundred million listens, and rake in cash from it while spending the rest of their time on Twitch hanging out with fans.

He certainly doesn't seem like more conventional artists who spend their time grinding and performing and improving their skills in order to rise to the top. In a decade I doubt anyone will remember the name Yung Gravy. I could be wrong though.
