Westside Gunn asserts Griselda’s dominance.
Griselda surely made their name known in 2019. They released albums and mixtapes at high volumes without compromising their own artistry. I mean, they did have the backing Shady but 2019 also included members Griselda signing a management deal with the other GOAT this rap sh*t, Jay-Z.
To cap f the year, RapRadar released their new interview — and final one the decade — with Griselda where they definitely didn’t hold out. On the topic getting their rightful dues, Westside Gunn made a compelling argument as to why Griselda should be mentioned along the TDE‘s and Dreamville’s this rap game.
“All this in one year,” Westside Gunn said after listing f a slew projects he, Benny and Conway dropped this year. “And we not mentioned in this one year and we not mentioned as the top group. Like, you’re still going to mention TDE, you’re going to mention Dreamville. Dreamville or TDE didn’t do it.”
Conway did interject briefly, stating, “Them n***as is incredible… I love them n***as.”
“They incredible but they didn’t do it,” Westside Gunn continued. “That’s the Buffalo sh*t I was talking ’bout,” he added in reference to whether the perception the group would’ve been different if they weren’t from Upstate New York. “If you’re going to say TDE was a powerhouse ’19, but where is ScHoolboy and Kendrick and Ab’s and everybody’s projects? That consistently had to do it every other month and haven’t slacked one bar.”
