Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Ak actually referenced this once on a pod somewhere. He essentially said that one of the most clear cut ways to tell if someone is juicing their streaming numbers is to look at their concert ticket sales. A lot of the cats who run up high numbers on youtube/spotify/AM/etc. can’t sell out their shows. It’s not definitive science, but the concept makes sense. Artist A has millions of streams and a #1 album, goes on tour selling tickets for cheap, but the concert venue has a ton of empty seats. It’s an indicator that they’re juicing.
Also another thing to consider is Youngboys demo . I think it was Ak who said this too (possibly same pod?) Youngboy has the highest stream numbers because of YouTube . It’s free and that’s primarily what kids use.

Kids also can’t buy concert tickets

He probably is really killing it numbers wise , but when your market is primarily kids who have $0 of disposable money it sucks smh.
 
Dababy been a goofy for a few years now, so there’s not much to say about dude at this point. Clown behavior, repetitive music, and can’t stay out his own way. Dude’s a recipe for disaster tbh.
Kinda messed with buddy's music at first, even tho son was not the most talented and brightest ***** out the gate, he indeed was different. But he stays moving fun-ny. Like how you get your biggest hit from Meg and then turn around and side with her "alleged foot shooter"?! Then the whole Dani something debacle and extra shenanigans, ****'s overwhelming for the amount of talent buddy got imo
 
Honestly Da baby in literally just a famous street ***** :lol:.

fans maybe now more than ever harp on the authenticity, well this is all the dumb **** that comes with the streets.

Hopefully dude get it together because if they get a real serious charge they are gonna try to FRY him.
 
Da Baby DEFINITELY could’ve handle dude 1 on 1. Dude doesn’t paint me as the type to run or back down from a fight.

He can throws hands IMO. I think his crew just stepped in. But I believe bro definitely can hold his own.

I been said this though………

The correlation is easy AF to realize. If these venues ain’t packed or yours getting canceled but you have high streaming figures. It’s common sense.

I remember some tour got canceled years back but the artist had high streams…..
 
Some of these artists have millions of followers on social media but don’t sell records/streams… concerts never maxed out….

But their numbers be juiced up. It’s easy.

I said that about Megan the Stallion. She has all those followers, all these endorsements but had like 40k album/streams or some s***.

(But I think that was in 2020 so, her sales might’ve improved)

Many of those followers aren't even real. Saw something on the Hoffa Podcast as well that exposed that a lot of artists, influencers etc, who appear to be verified really aren't and that they are paying for that too.
 
I think a big part of that is that some people are a fan of the persona... Like people have been saying for awhile the music is disposable to a lot of fans, they love the character.

You may just like a handful of YB songs but love all the **** outside of the music.... What's the point of spending 50 at the show.... If the real reason you like him is being streamed for free on IG/Tiktok everyday
