WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETSÂż
21 savage's follow up to "american dream"
Dropped today after an almost two years hiatus .
This year, heâs been featured on Summer Walkerâs Finally Over It and Travis Scottâs Jackboys 2 mixtape.
The album processes street code as a rulebook nobody follows anymore, and 21 Savage talks about it the way someone talks about a dead language they still speak. âBack then itâd be consequences for ni**as thatâs snitchinâ and sh*t,â he says, not mourning the consequences but mourning the consistency. The problem isnât that the streets got softer. The problem is they got incoherent. On âGang Over Everything,â he circles the same grievance from different angles: âHow you feel like Iâm âposed to take care of you when yoâ ass way older?â and âWhy you feel like itâs my job to make sure you got motion?â The questions sound like someone doing emotional labor he didnât sign up for, watching grown men behave like dependents while the code that was supposed to govern mutual aid turns into one way.
