***** rappers like chief dont last long at the end of the day rappers who really have skills are always going to be relevant especially the 90s emcees ... 20 years down the line ppl are going to remember real emcees like nas but who is going to remember a lot of these non lyrical rappers who do not even last that long
so in other words, he's trash. Don't you NYC cats see how this is killing your scene? This is why other coasts are laughing at you now. You cosign the wackest niggas! (or wiggas in this case)
tochiRTA Yes, cause Your Old Droog is a new artist. You're saying that he's the kind of artist killing the NYC scene, so which NYC artists are doing the scene justice?
I doubt it. He really sounds like he's biting off of nas.. hard. The same way action bronson bit off of ghost face's style and how troy ave bit off of 50 cent. A poor mans replica will never be as good as the original. This guy needs to work harder on developing his own style.

@@kingc1452 blablabla , say the man who's got a full playlist of other people telling jim how to do. You should stop biting people way to bussisness and get yours..THis is funnt it's all the time the people that do the worst things that trying to tell to people how to get straight. LOL it's same always the bad payers talking how to need to get your debt sorted , but they never sorted their ones.
I feel like people only compare him to nas because they love comparing artists to other artists and nas is the closest one. I honestly don't hear the nas; I do hear some 90's golden era bars, though. That's all. He can spit, why does everyone always try to find a way to downplay someone's talent? I don't get it.
WHen he isad- Im Ukraninain but I used to pretend i wss puerto rican Then Roenberg- You could hav pulled it off.¨"lmao Droog- WHatchu mean, i did pull it off¨ lmao 15:00
@@paranoidnegroid2181 Nope Droog it's just Russian , nothing to do with clockwork orange. Even if in the book he made he made a influenced language. Droog is firend in RUssia.
his flow is very similar but his voie is way deeper. thats why ppl tought it was nas with his voice pitched down, since he already has a character with the voice pitched up
John Romano That's cause he's an identity thief, a kareoke artist. He is biting Nas and everyone is making excuses for him, same way that Action Bronson came into the game sounding and flowing exactly like Ghostface Killah. But they're white, so it's alright.
I was watching Cormega and Corey Gunz on Drink Champs, heard DJ EFN say something about his album and features, then went to Spotify and searched it. The album popped up and I listened to one of the best put together hip hop albums of 2015-2016. How that album drop and I ddnt know about it. There was a Droog cut on the LP. I heard that and now Im here. Droog got barz.
I was one of the idiots thought it was Nas and a huge part was that Mini documentary type shit By Marco polo with all the evidence and suggestions n shit.then there was the fact dude was nowhere in sight with no pics, no videos and the name "Droog" Your Old Friend"! C'mon man! Either way I'm a huge fan and supporter of this guy now and I bought the EP and got that shit on heavy rotation right now.dude's wordplay is so crazy! Dude is something special in this RAP shit
He sounds like a mix of Nas and Game at times. He gets busy, but he's just another rapper as far as I'm concerned. I won't go rush out to buy his music. He's coo' though.
My sentiments exactly. NYC cats gotta understand it's all about transcending the game and moving forward if everybody comes back sounding like a boom bap rapper then the game will never grow. Dude gets down though but he doesn't make me feel like he's fresh.
Tamron Hall is gorgeous. Originally from Chicago, use to come into a bakery I worked at in 2005, and she was stunning...I think she's smashing that old white dude...Larry Odonnel on MSNBC.
alot of people thought he was nas. i was fooled too and i never thought dude was Ukrainian once it was revealed. he's nice as fuck tho. wanna hear him collab with more dope artist.
yo his raps is pretty tight i like 2 hear ny rappers that dont sound like they from the south dont get me wrong i like southern emcees but if i want to hear a southern nigga i would listen to some outkast , david banner , goodie mobb , big krit etc
That's cause u don't fuck with me or my music Rosenberg! U need to open ur mind to some new new music fr fr play my song 64 if u lookin for the new sound of tomorrow
Woooo!! *stank faceeee!!!* "These other rappers wanna be G's but they ain't stayin alive" Good God Droog take it easy! You're killin em! Can't even count how many times I've listened to this freestyle...so good. I hope Droog gets the shine he deserves one day...

well if by "the streets" you mean the ghetto, then FYI black people make up majority of the ghetto...so it's not hard to understand why "acting ghetto" is the same as "acting black" to some people...I personally don't give a shit what color someone is, as long as they're not "acting" like anything
Haven't really gotten this vibe from the few songs I've listened to so far, but his freestyle screams out Big L. Add this verse to an old D.I.T.C. song and it'd fit right in.

The thing is lyrical rappers really don't get enough love
The thing is they pretty much do look at the album sells compared to the wack rappers' album sells you'll see what i'm talking about.
Thats why j cole just sold over 300'000 in just a week right?
Catya Fapen yes, wack rappers only be selling singles here and there that's why they don't stay around too long
***** everybody still does lol.

"These other rappers wanna be Gs but they ain't 'Stayin Alive.' " -- nice.
nice in cornyville
tochiRTA
na
+tochiRTA you obviously dont understand the double entendre
Jah Bless
LOL. Like it isn't the most basic line in the world. be Gs, Bee Gees.... DUMB SHIT.
tochiRTA in the world? go listen to future and dumb thug
Nas comparisons aside, he's got bars. I was at his debut show at Webster Hall, he did his thing. And he's a NYC rapper who sounds like he's from NYC.
so in other words, he's trash. Don't you NYC cats see how this is killing your scene? This is why other coasts are laughing at you now. You cosign the wackest niggas! (or wiggas in this case)
tochiRTA
Do you listen to any current NYC rappers?
Tone Riggz what do you mean by current? Ghostface is current. but not new. Are you asking if I like any new breed NYC rappers?
tochiRTA
Yes, cause Your Old Droog is a new artist. You're saying that he's the kind of artist killing the NYC scene, so which NYC artists are doing the scene justice?
Tone Riggz
ASAP Rocky
GOT LITHUANIAN SHOOTERS LIKE SARUNAS MARCIULIONIS
Game + Nas = Your Old Droog
Yesss !!!
Jamestech strictly vocally, but yes. I've thought the same thing
i'm not the only one hearing game, cool
W.
Jamestech Yep. Really sounds like Game in the interview. And people say game sounds like nas. Go listen to Game on Let Me Live.
He don't sound like nas. He sound good though
I don't hear NaS when I hear him
This guy is the next best thing and he already knows it he has the mentality
I doubt it. He really sounds like he's biting off of nas.. hard. The same way action bronson bit off of ghost face's style and how troy ave bit off of 50 cent. A poor mans replica will never be as good as the original. This guy needs to work harder on developing his own style.

Drew Z like when people were comparing Bronson to Ghost
Michael Tovar Exactly.
Just like how they always compare navy blue & Mike to earl sweatshirt even though they clearly sound nothing like one another lol.
I hear the rasp, his style is different than nas, yet they both smooth murderers on the mic tho.
WHen he isad- Im Ukraninain but I used to pretend i wss puerto rican
Then Roenberg- You could hav pulled it off.¨"lmao
Droog- WHatchu mean, i did pull it off¨ lmao 15:00
this shit was FILTHY. Would commit a felony for a Roc, KA, & Old Droog collab
"Your sippin some right now, dark roast.. Pause.."
Droog means friend in russian, his name literally means your old friend
heavy
It's from a language called Russian-influenced language called Nadsat in A Clockwork Orange. It's a great book and I'd highly recommend it.
@@paranoidnegroid2181 Nope Droog it's just Russian , nothing to do with clockwork orange. Even if in the book he made he made a influenced language. Droog is firend in RUssia.
@@paranoidnegroid2181 Droog = Друг = Friend
Been listening to hip hop for 25+ years & dude is the real thing. Props.
There was a murder once he started rapping
you hyping...hold ya breaks b
MURDA, i say!!!
Droog is the truth with his! He respects this craft! HIP HOP needs more real MCs from this next generation!
Watching this in 2019 feels surreal hes come so far
i just discovered him 🔥
I don't give a damn who he sound like...Dude can spit..for REAL
We still can't say for sure that he isn't Nas
Dude is a monster. Best emcee out right now
i could listen to this dude talk all day long
droog = friend. Your old friend.
he's very nice and he deserve this recognition that he's getting now salute brother
He sounds like Nas when he raps
oh really?

2nd beat?
Ive watched this so many times lol, my man Droog kills it
Why Ebro not up there grilling Droog and being generally bitter in his demeanor? Old Droog would snuff Old Ebro.
puerto rico nas

he sounds nothing like Game.. maybe a mixture of Nas and Jay Electronica.
John M not his rap but his talking voice sound exactly like games. if i had my eyes closed i woulda thought it was game speaking at first.
Toy
Freestyle starts at 10:07
Tamron Hall is gorgeous. Originally from Chicago, use to come into a bakery I worked at in 2005, and she was stunning...I think she's smashing that old white dude...Larry Odonnel on MSNBC.
He's a cool dude. He reminds me of like Game mixed with Nas mixed with a little Fat Joe
He got bars and potential.
🙌🙌🙌😛😛😛😍😍😍Dzaaaam
rosenberg had to "listen closely" to hear his Nas resemblance? FUCK OUTTAA HERRE!!!
Just listen to some of his stuff not feeling him at all
That second one was off the chain. I wish he did beats like this more.
damn he sounds like Tupac and Birdman combined, crazy yo
The new golden era of HipHop is being created in NY. Serious heat from the east coast
Bring back that east coast real hiphop back
Surprise Rosenberg didn't do his whole "after we played it on hot 97 it blew up" thing...
Imagine LUM and Wiki got Secret Circle back together but replaced Antwon with YOD
This would be so amazing
One of the dopest artist in the gave who's like AI and underrated
Damn homie nasty straight barzzz
The game right fresh reinvented he looks like him too that puffy cheek softmouth white dude brooklyn raised
"these rappers wanna be G's but they aint stayin alive" heat
sounded between nas and large professror...but dude's cadence and wordplay was distinct from that, let me know it was not nas or large professor..
he sounds nice
He been nice.
I knew it wasn't NAS , does that make me any better ? NO ! Old news. His style is tight , period.
it's crazy how people forget that he sounds like THE GAME.
y.o.d. is nice but wu tang is for the kids
alot of people thought he was nas. i was fooled too and i never thought dude was Ukrainian once it was revealed. he's nice as fuck tho. wanna hear him collab with more dope artist.
yo his raps is pretty tight i like 2 hear ny rappers that dont sound like they from the south dont get me wrong i like southern emcees but if i want to hear a southern nigga i would listen to some outkast , david banner , goodie mobb , big krit etc
I think he looks and sounds more like the game not nas.
First heard him on Gangrenes gluttony, not gonna lie i thought it was nas' alter ego
this cats nice hes got that NY feel to his rhymes
He been nice.
who's backing this weak Nas clone?
Fuckin dope.
Dude it's nice, fuck what anyone says...
lol he doesnt know where he is from xD this is hilarious. he just knows what his parents told him :D
He got bars though.
Why did he say pause after dark roast?
The first beat sounded like he had it written and memorized xD second one sounded a lot more like a freestyle
"Frying bacon with Kareem goggles on" ! Truth dun!
yo DROOG, when you playin in Brooklyn homie? I wanna go to a local show
He aint gonna answer lmfao. He already had 2 shows in willy b.
yeah.. I'm from BK, I meant real local.. like Coney Island/Bensonhurst local.
fromundachees You aint say that papa.
Nicky Human it's all good.
Eastern Europe in the house!!! We some soldiers in the DNA and this man super nice!
Your Old Droog is MY favorite emcee.
What's that background beat at the start?
Busta Rhymes - Everything Remains Raw

He just sound like one of us lol. Yall hype the ny accent
he sounds like rakim to me
That's cause u don't fuck with me or my music Rosenberg! U need to open ur mind to some new new music fr fr play my song 64 if u lookin for the new sound of tomorrow
A dope emcee 🔥💣🧨🎧💎⛏🎤👀
his voice reminds me of The Game.
He owes AZ money for how much he clearly is influenced by him
Influence is free when you release your work for the public
Dopest lyricist in the game currently.
Knew the origins of the beats he flowed props for that alone
First verse he spits sounds more like Rakim than anyone else!
Im jus getting put on this cat!! He's a problem!!
What's that first Beat playing with the "Al Green - Let's Stay Together" Sample?
Woooo!! *stank faceeee!!!*
"These other rappers wanna be G's but they ain't stayin alive"
Good God Droog take it easy! You're killin em! Can't even count how many times I've listened to this freestyle...so good. I hope Droog gets the shine he deserves one day...
