Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[str8drop]

My high school operated nothing like this

I feel you

'Know how the story goes a lot of them snitch, sort of like gloryholes...giving out anonymous tips.'

'And you get clapped over ice like seals.'

'I succeed like abortions.'



Very happy to see Chris Rivers still working.

The succeed part I think is supposed to also be a double entendre too

Yo the Durex segment on the Budden podcast has to be the GOAT segment



around the 1:21:00 mark

They really handed condoms out on NY trains. I ain't using no train station rubber.

This alludes to my point I was making with a friend of mine the other day.

All these artists and celebs are Fugazi. They ALL buy followers, likes, all that ****.

You have artists that have 10 million followers, and can't sell 50K albums week one.

You have celebs who have 10 Million followers, but get like 30K likes on a picture...That's crazyyyy. Hell one of the biggest stars on the planet, Kim K has like 120M followers on the gram, but gets only like 2 Milllion* likes on pictures...meaning she's missing 118 Million people on average

I know it seems trivial and insignificant, but labels legit use these metrics to seek out music acts, which is insane, and that's kind of my point.

6yrs went by fast sheesh

Single digit like/retweets = juking the stats

Some dudes just got different brains.

They put a semi to your colon just to show you that your
Commas is beneath the point, you better make a decent choice

So like Leonardo DiCaprio, our gats be great/Gatsby Great

Apparently that concert was only available to college students at Stony Brook University. Those 18-22 year olds probably only know Ashanti from dating Harden and may not even know she sings

 

[6pac]

lame

was a college show that wasnt promoted correctly and she was a last minute fill in

fif rich and bored smh

 

[Magic33]

They were five when Ashanti was poppin. Nobody at a college and especially a white one would go see her.

Dog, free health clinic and the subway

 

[tay1]

iight he gotta chill he not that versatile enough to be dropping every other month

Here's another one for you

 

[6pac]

i’ll let that rock bc it seem like he dont got as much out rn as baby.

even tho they prolly both just got a solo project and the collab one lol

 

[D StaXX]

If that reggie *** Kodak song debut anywhere in the top 3 this week

 

[frshstunna]

QC flooding the streets ...trap ****

 

[6pac]

QC flooding the streets ...trap ****

smh master P formula all over again.

wonder what will be what slows them down. only thing i can see is a straight up change in sound which they cant be mad at they literally about to run **** from 2013-2020. if not beyond.

 

[$tacy]

That Kodak song was way better as a instrumental.

 

[Mark Antony]

This **** fire, been playing it all weekend

Dope, but sad reminder that the era of bars is damn near dead.

I just think that social media is like the playground for celebrities and music acts, and they kind of go hand in hand with each other.

But the thing is, platforms like Instagram intentionally juice the followers of celebs and music acts to make them appear bigger than they actually are and as a result, it makes the artist bigger, and benefits instagram as well. Peak celebrity culture.

Yatchi couldn't break 50K first week and has almost 8 million followers. He has 8 Million followers, but can't break 250K on likes on his pictures. When you think about it, the ratio is insane. Musicians and celebrities can't get even 2% of their "followers" to purchase their products / albums insane. Quavo sold 10K in pure sales and has 10 Million followers(!) . Tenaya Taylor has 7 Million followers but can't sell 7K albums. INSANE.

We don't even blink an eye when an artist like say, Ariana grande who has 131 Million followers and sells less than a percent of that number on her first week sales.

And thats not an indictment on Yatchi, or whoever. The point I'm making is that a lot of these acts that we see as stars are stars because in large part, social media is in bed with the entertainment industry and builds an idea of celebrity, and juices follower count in hopes of making these people legit stars and it works, it's just a wild phenomenon to watch take place. That's why I don't even frown upon aspiring music acts who want to buy followers to break in because the playing field isn't level at all.

i feel what youre trying to say.

everything is a smokescreen/facade for no real reason other than “everyone else does it”.

from the subject matter of what ****** actually rapping about down to the metrics and followers. to soundcloud scene ****** either straight up using motion picture money or flexing trap money as rap money which misleads the upcoming artists.

**** really a simulation.

Everything is fake man, and the **** actually matters way more. Artists stay alive because of fake follower count people's show rate and club rate are in accordance to follower count. Just a wild, wild, time in the music industry.
