In just over ten years of career, NBA Youngboy has become the most certified American rapper in the history of US rap.
The era of streaming has radically changed the rules of the music industry, and this is even more visible in rap, since this style is a little more recent than many others, and it can also reach a young audience, the one who uses the platforms the most. We see rappers appear out of nowhere and achieve incredible success, without, however, achieving unanimity in the community or even in the media. Like NBA Youngboywhich became this weekend the most certified rapper in the history of the United States.
Amazing information, since clearly, even in the States, no one agrees to classify him as a “GOAT”. Et in France, Youngboy had only a very limited impacteven if he remains a good, very productive rapper. But let’s be clear: no classics to his credit for the rapper, even if he has some good songs in his discography. If we compare it to des légendes du game, comme Jay-Z, Eminem, 50 Cent, Rick Ross, Kendrick lamar, Snoop Dogg, Young Thug, Future, Lil Wayneeveryone can name one of their hits that exploded all over the world.
For Youngboy NBA, it is less obvious. However, with 126 certified tracks, the rapper becomes the most certified in history in the United States. It even crushes the competition, since for example Drake, he only had around sixty certificates at Youngboy’s age, and Taylor Swift, at the same age, between 60 and 80. Bravo to him, and we hope that he will make us lie in the coming months by releasing something that will really mark the whole world.
