In terms of rapping about the streets, Keef is the first one to get the national spotlight coming out of Chicago in a long time. Last one to get that shot was Bumpy J. The way entertainment industry works...the (short) spotlight that CK got probably led to more companies searching for that kind of music, from that city. CK has NO talent whatsoever, so every other kid thinks that if he can blow up with gibberish lyrics....then so can they.

I enjoyed early Twista, Twsta's stuff with the speedknot hustlaz, and early Common Sense. Those guys have talent so it's lot harder to just sign someone who sounds like them but you'd have to admit that CK's brief career opened the floodgates to more kids doing the same kind of music.
