Rap was an underground thing that all the inner-city kids used to connect with each other while in poverty. that was until Sugarhill gang made the first rap song to ever hit the radio with “rappers delight” That song was spread like wildfire from hood to hood even all the way to the suburbs

A lot of bark and a lot of bite. Well respected in the hip hop game and known to body tracks when he decides to get down. Tbandit is a lot like this. Kodak will also showcase his ignorant side as well that could get him set back for no reason. It’s a fine line. 

* Dolphins, Que – Gucci Mane

Gucci Mane is an OG with plenty hits. But like Que Gucci doesn’t have that #1 banger (Super Bowl Appearance). At the top of his game Gucci was easily a top 5 to 10 figure in Hip Hop. Que at his best is definitely the same. As time goes though Gucci and Que have taking a more relax approach to their respective games. With that being said though the respect is still there and maybe a turn of a switch puts them back near the top of the game. 

* Jets, Fallen – Macklemore

Macklemore once won a Grammy over Kendrick Lamar. He didn’t make any noise after that. Fallen won the very 1st PML Super Bowl… 😕

* Patriots, Nef – Vanilla Ice

Record executives saw a star in Vanilla Ice when he first hit the scene. He had one hit and rose to stardom. The story of Rob VanWinkle is one of many peaks and valleys. Nef and Vanilla Ice got a lot in common. They both can been seen as PML starts for various reasons outside of “the game”, and they both can be seen as clowns for various reasons that might not necessarily even be true. At the end of the day though Vanilla Ice name is known and his spot in history is solidified.

DRAMA COMPARISONS

* Bills, Tbandit 

DaBaby: Master of the boom bap Rap in the modern age. Reminds me a bit of me when I was fresh in the game. Brash delivery, unapologetically arrogant, but s*** what you gonna tell him? At the end of the day he getting money, hitting the baddest ones, and he always coming for that top spot.

* Dolphins, Que – 21 Savage: 

Is he High? Is he drunk? Is a pigs p**** pork? Y’all know how Que do. Banging beats, simple flow, lyrical content is Rap, rinse, repeat. Shoot some s***, smoke some s***, f*** some s***, next track…

* Jets, Fallen – Red Man: 

Highly slept on, but for those who know spitters this boy here be killing s***. Never switched up his style, stayed consistent since day one. You might not think he has much of a following, but for years rappers been biting his style, tryna still his flow. Fortunately for him nothing beats the original. 

* Patriots, Nef – Mike D (Beastie Boys)

Z’s comparisons 

* Bills, Tbandit – Roddy Ricch.

Roddy’s first album: Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial was a hit. Much like Tbandit’s cycle with the Redskins, where he made not one, but two super bowl appearances. However, since that cycle, he has not had much success (much like Roddy’s subsequent albums). It’s begun to bring into question if Tbandit as it seemed he was or if he’s a one album (cycle) wonder.

* Dolphins, Que – Chance the Rapper.

Que has plenty of success in his PML history, doing great things with the Chargers and Giants in past cycles (Much like Chance with Acid Rap and Coloring Book). However, he’s begun to deviate from what worked for him and hasn’t done much to improve upon his past successes (much like Chance and his The Big Day project, which featured the awful Hot Shower track). Hopefully Que can turn it around, his first season wasn’t an indication of that.

* Jets, Fallen – Machine Gun Kelly.

I believe that Fallen’s early reputation (much like MGK releasing Wild Boy) still precedes him. He hasn’t had much success since.

* Patriots, Nef – Macklemore

Does this really need to be explained?

King keraun 

* Bills, Tbandit – Jeezy 

TBeezy the Snow man. At any moment when he chooses, he can motivate the thugs with his gameplay. They were passing game really is cold and snow too . 

* Dolphins, Que – plies

Back in his day bro was cold as h***. Now he is more famous for his soundbites but every now and then he’ll give you a hit it or 2  

* Jets, Fallen – Jim Jones 

When fallen cheese is hittin he be “ballin” but sometimes his game play can be just as raggedy as Jim Jones braids . 

* Patriots, Nef –  AB Antonio brown

Put that s*** on!!! Lol man you got some good features but it in he don’t know what the h*** he doing and his play can get very CTE like
