You have low-mid functioning autism if you think that Yung Lean isn't a complete legend. He created all the arizona iced tea, fiji water, nintendo, anime, etc. references and "aesthetics" that are all over soundcloud today. He's arguably the first ever mumble rapper. He caused tens of thousands of people 4000+ miles away from him to thrift bucket hats and vintage windbreakers. He did all of this at age 15-16 (highschool sophomore age) just by fucking around with his friends in a dirty swedish basement. Fuck you

He took Bones, Chief Keef and Ugly Mane style and added a bunch of late 90s references so shithead kids would think they are special snowflakes for liking him. I can get behind ecco or yung gud but lean was by far the least talented swedish rapper, literal mumbling over decent beats.

really activatin' my almonds

Damn I never thought about it like that. I have a lot more respect for him now

he popularized it but that aesthetic was already popular through tumblr and shit and there were many rappers with similar sounds. he did sort of revolutionize memrap sort of deliberately meme-ifying himself in a very intentional way. rappers like riff raff and lil b kinda did the same thing before him though

Yung Lean made an impact but at the end of the day it was a wave in the ocean that Lil B created.
