21 Savage’s New Album Sparks Speculation of Diss Toward Gunna in Young Thug Tribute

21 Savage has just released his latest album, “american dream,” kickstarting what promises to be a dynamic year for hip-hop. In the midst of a week filled with notable releases, including Kid Cudi’s “INSANO” and a fresh Lil Nas X single, 21 Savage’s project stands out for its introspection, consistency, and thematic depth. As fans delve into the lyrics, some have identified a potential reference to the Young Thug and YSL RICO case, suggesting a diss toward Gunna.

The track “letter to my brudda” is particularly under scrutiny, exploring the challenges of street life. Many listeners interpreted it as a tribute to Young Thug, who is featured on the preceding song, “pop ur s**t.”

In the first verse, 21 Savage addresses loyalty and betrayal, raising questions about co-defendants turning into witnesses. The lyrics include, “Once you cross that line, it ain’t no trying to fix it, you want me to forgive you, let’s be realistic. I can’t kick it with your kind like I tore my meniscus, how you go from co-defendant to a f***ing witness?”

The second part of the verse delves into the struggles and sacrifices for family. 21 Savage empathizes with the challenges his brother faced, expressing understanding of the hardships of life. “I feel your pain, my brother, I know you from the struggle, I know how hard you hustled just to take care of your mother,” he raps.

While these verses could apply to various situations, fans couldn’t help but draw connections to the ongoing YSL case, especially with Young Thug’s presence on the album. Regardless of any potential diss interpretations, the overarching theme of empathy for those facing adversity remains a poignant message in 21 Savage’s work.

As fans continue to dissect the album’s lyrics, the intricacies of 21 Savage’s storytelling and the underlying messages will likely be further explored and discussed in the hip-hop community.
