I could never hate Yachty. He was never a disrespectful punk. He's got a great personality, he's very intelligent, and he's earnest, i.e. he doesn't put on the fake "hard" persona that so many other rappers do. It's sooo hard to dislike him.

I actually met him and his team a few years back while working at a hotel and he is legitimately very kind and respectful

i went to high school with him and the coolest part is that he wasn't even in our performing arts program. he was a "district kid", (which is what PA students called non-PA students who attended the school because it was in their district), yet he made it bigger than all of our classmates in the PA program.

The comeback Yachty has made is commendable to say the least. Really happy for him

You can tell Yachty just likes to have fun. He doesn’t take himself or his music too serious, he just does what he wants and I respect that. Not trying to be known as a legend or anything he just enjoys making music.

As a old head I appreciate Yachty’s authenticity. Unapologetically himself regardless of what anyone thinks. That’s dope to me.

It’s awesome to see an artist evolve organically

Getting to watch him grow and evolve over the years and mature as an artist has been an experience as a fan as well. He really can only go up and i can't wait

Honestly, respect. If anyone was given the opportunity to just chill and make money while at it, they would take it, and I respect Yachty for being honest bout it. Hell, I know I would lmao

goes to show it doesn't matter what anyone says, or how they feel about you. If you can show up and show out. No one can hold you back from a damn thing. Truly inspirational!

friends with drake did NOT age well 💀

Have a new profound love and respect for yatchy. Especially seeing what he has been through

I've always loved Yachty especially for the fact that he won't change himself to please others. He's an inspiration to the youth.

This was one of the coolest things. Lil Yachty really worked his ass off to be where he is and he’s so humble about it.

I love when shit like this happens. He seems like a good guy I’m glad everything’s working out for him. He earned it.

This video felt like a documentary, so well put together and edited. Recently gotten into the music youtube videos this is definitely a channel i plan to stay in tuned with

From a joke to a non joke

I'm not a huge hip hop guy and I haven't heard any of his music but the end of this video teared me up. Good for him man. That's one hell of a comeback story.

I've been a huge Yachty fan since 2016 and it's been so cool to see him prosper. Of course I was initially drawn to him from the music but his personality and him just being his unapologetic self really helped turn me from just a listener into a loyal supporter. I still remember people saying that he wouldn't make it and he would never be known as more than a soundcloud/mumble rapper lol. It's great to see someone succeed that truly deserves it. Music is subjective so I get that not everyone likes his music but its impossible to hate on him as a person.

So happy someone documented this man’s rise & gave the praise his let’s start here album

I don't know how anyone could dislike Lil Yachty. He's always been about being chill and bring entertainment without being a polarizing figure.

Really looking forward to a commercially successful album from him. After everything he's done, he deserves it.

please do this type of videos more often again i reaally missed the videos about rappers🙏

I know I'm late but just wanted to say i was happy to see you did include From The D To The A as one of his best songs...although it was a feature w/Tee Grizzley. That was my first time hearing Yachty. I didn't understand at the time why the people were saying ish like that was the hardest they ever heard him spit b4. But now i do. Their collaboration 2 Vaults was also good, i thought. I also know he is mad intelligent and writes songs for others, as well. Great video.

I love lil boat man. How could anyone hate him? People need to stop taking themselves so seriously

I like yachty especially when he's a feature. But legends need to realize that not everyone want to take rap seriously some people just use rap for fun and if they make money off it thats a bonus to them

I wasn't too into him back when he was blowing up, but definitely gonna check out his music again! Love seeing artists take their music in a new direction and makes me respect them even more as an artist.

I've never been a Yachty fan to be honest, but your video did make me respect him more as an artist. Hope he keeps stepping up when people wanna push him down.

As someone who started out not liking yachty for his sound, look, or personality. I can definitely say Ive seen the growth first hand & Im 100% here for it. People who have just met me recently think Ive been a yachty fan but the truth is its only been a bout a year since Ive really fw his music

I think what really helps him too, is that he just comes across like a funny and likeable dude. Not a fan of his music, but I’m a fan of him as a person

Literally never listened to his music but i always kinda saw him as wholesome. He didnt try to be anyone he wasnt. Too often rappers feel the need to prove how tough they are.

Your videos are so well produced and the editing really good. Always love watching your vids keep it up. 🙏

True but i loved his sprite commercial, "Cold like a Sprite soda, cold like a Sprite soda" lol so catchy

Yatchty did what other jokes couldn’t, which was to work hard, keep putting out music regardless of the immediate impression of it, especially if you’re experimenting and making perfecting your true sound, collaborate with up and coming artists as y’all will benefit each other on their way up, form connections with mainstream artists that are useful in the long run and musically, and not gaf about how people feel about you. I’m proud of yatchty to say the least and blew my expectations out of the water for his future 🙏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿

yo nice video boi, great transitions between talking points and just very good organization overall and also yeah much appreciation for Lil Boat

Yachty is a great and talented artist. He has never been afraid to be unapologetically himself no matter how much hate it brought him. He has made so many hits and let’s be honest, let’s start here was an absolutely amazing album . Something no one else in the hip hop industry could have pulled out 💪

I dont even hate the guy and for some reason, i cant hate him. He's on grind and the fact he pushed so many young talents to the scene is actually the best part from him.

Love this new format with mentioning albums, singles and viral moment in a chronological order! Keep it up Pat!

That’s why bro makin like crazy new music now. With more vocals and deeper meanin

i always respect when an artist steps out of their comfort zone to try something more creative, it shows growth as an artist. When you ride one wave and then branch off to start your own, it takes serious creativity and its a huge risk. so even if i dont like it, I cant help but respect it.

The lineup that 2016 XXL had was something else man

Your video topics unmatched 🔥

he's so good, his last album shows that he's more artist than just a rapper

It's amazing how he and his music developed and evolved. He just has fun with his music and he releases it if he fucks with it. He talked about it with J.Cole in his Podcast.

My respect for him has always been there. Especially with his recent album though. The fact that if he wanted to take it seriously he can and drop a genuinely amazing album, yet chooses to make music when he wants and at his own pace with his enjoyment at the forefront is... nice. Like, for real, its nice to know theres at least 1 guy who says "i do it for me"

Lil Boat da Goat of chillin

XXL 2016 was golden. Never a better line up

Not all rappers can free style. It’s also a learned skill. Rap is poetry

@ 6:34 lil boat look like he ready to say something in a Jamaican 😂😂😂

Yatchy’s sprite soda commercial will always be a highlight for me!

I love how he didn't give up after his albums flopped thats the spirit never give up!!!

When boat told Joe “yo…Chill!!!” 🤣💯 I promise I cried laughing 😂 that shit was classic

Such a well made video man good stuff

Great video Pat

Lil Boat transitioned into Big Yachty. From a soundcloud rapper to one of the biggest names in hip hop at the moment. Big up Yachty.

i love your video essays, you cover interesting topics and give a whole new perspective to all kinds of people in all kinds of industries- very entertaining. keep it up man you're doing great!

This video single handily got me listening to Lil Yachty and now he’s one of my favorites. I really respect the dude Frl can’t wait to see him at a show

As one of those teens who was listening to Yachty as the up-and-coming rapper, I want to say you perfectly captured the rollercoaster of emotions it has been watching Lil Yachty's career. Good stuff Patrick, you never fail to impress me!

Yatchy saying hiphop is in a bad state while also being a reason hiphop is in a bad state is hilarious

I don’t know why but I felt when he said “don’t hype me up cause the next bar has to be better” 🤣🤣🤣

i always fw yatchy like i loved his sound even when it wasn’t that great but im so glad that he found his sound and evolved into something big

Bis freestyle with that old school instrumental was fucking great, the flow is so perfect in tune with the mood of the beat, i would love to hear more of that side of lil yachty

Respect his hustle and honesty, not every day do you see a man in his status be so open about his business, he also keeps respect during serious conversations.

i met him in jan 2020, he was the coolest and most chill dude. this video gave me a new appreciation for him.

I've always had love for Lil boat..His early music was like a breath of fresh air,so carefree..I wish him nothing but the best..Keep going Yatchy

His music is beautiful and it is the ultimate personification of self growth

So glad you did this video. Yachty has always been on of my faves. He's always been genuine and can tell he just wants to have fun.

Finally, someone talking about it

Honestly goated video essay

I know nothing about rap but my hat goes off to him, hard worker and genuine guy

That 2016 class cypher was low-key one of the best ones because their chemistry was crazy. Lyrically it wasn't all that but Denzel but they had the best chemistry out of every other cypher

This videos doing numbers right now. Congratulations Pat you definitely deserve it! 💯

Great video as always man!

honestly yachty saying he doesn’t care is just a flex on the other rappers, he outshines so many without even trying 😂

I have always appreciated Yachty's passion for Hip Hop. Over the last six years, he has truly proven himself to be a very inspiring artist.

Bro, you are the Mr.Beast of commentary videos. Idk how you hit so consistently but it’s awesome. Keep it up and don’t forget to drink water 🤙🏻

Everytime one of your videos comes on I want to switch it off... not because it's bad but it's not my style... But shortly... after the first minute or so... I'm locked in, it just gets so interesting... it happens everytime.

Great vid

He never said it was just for money. He said he was just having fun

He may have felt like a novelty when he first appeared, but based off his latest performance of his latest single, he seems to have grown into an actual artist. Good for him 🙌🏽

I always admired how creative he was

His recent songs have been nice asl

Shit like this pisses me off because I’m a real hip-hop head and I love rap the core and everyone around me knows this, so when I see shit like this, it touches me to the core because I really appreciate what hip-hop has done for me and the things that has shown me and the way that it makes me feel when I listen to it and the fact that I am an artist myself so when I really write my music I speak from the heart and every lyric I say is heartfelt because that’s where it’s coming from and today these rappers taking rap for granted and overshadowing the real lyricist who are making good music and or not looked at

2016 XXL freshmen class were low key the pioneers of this new rap

I'll forever respect him based on the rock album he dropped. Who does that? It's raw at times, but it's a genuinely good album. Also, Poland, if you don't like that you're dead inside.

Yachty also was a feature on a Current Joys song. the story of that was pretty cool

W video Patrick. You never fail to satisfy my KZfaq binges

That walkout and love from the fans had to feel incredible after his relentless effort for years

This made me a yachty fan. You two should collab. I hadn't heard the man speak in any interviews and this made me really respect the dudes character.

I listened to several of his songs you mentioned and man I regret that decision.

at the end his collab with j.cole is fire ngl

Man that walkout at 17:17 is so legendary. Gets me hype every time. I slept on Yachty *until* he dropped Let's Start Here and that's been in my Top 5 all year. I've been steady working back through his catalogue, but he nailed it with that one. Hope we see a lot more from him.

Just based off of the amount of views this has after only 6hrs, its safe to say the grind yachtys' been on this year is paying off. No matter what media platform you use, his presence is undeniable . Dudes gotta be one of the most viral artists of 2023.

That interview in the beginning is hilarious to me

His newest song is a testament to his skill

He put everyone on his close friends story today 😭

I dont listsn ro yachty music but that walk out always gives me goosebumps

Another banger, Patrick. These days, I couldn’t name a single song, outside of knowing lyrics and all, bc the scene is just tsunami saturated but what I can do is appreciate hard work, sick drive and natural talent esp when combined with a laid back vibe and straight heart. Yachty isn’t just “another SoundCloud, lazy mumble rapper”. The kid is uber talented and hustles like no other. Maybe one day I’ll learn a few of his bars. But really, I’ll most likely stick to respecting from afar. Big ups for all you do to keep us educated, entertained and above all else; hydrated 💦

YO PATRICK TAKE NOTE OF THIS: Your channel is the best when it comes to this types of content....everything is just amazing.....impressive...from the moment i watched the first video i knew this channel was going to be big and here we are....Good job bro....oh and everyone else, drink water♥

2:20 damn Uzi looks like he came from the shire 🤣
