I understand the surplus of women hits goin up cuz it seems like women the only ones outside but none of these broads selling albums so idk if it means anything

That SuperHero Future track prolly woulda went the distance if Metro ain't let Chris Brown ruin it

Does selling records matter in 2023?

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Not in rap..

Cam def wasn't attracted to her. Ppl (especially women) rly don't grasp the idea that podcasts don't work unless ppl are actually engaged. Joint would be dry if he was talking to her like David Letterman

The only thing I think matters is building a catalogue decent enough to keep you on tour (i. e. Cudi, Spitta, Wiz)

But I def think selling albums are more important than having a hit single ppl recite for 2-3 weeks or so. Now if you got a joint like The Box I understand but other than that

We know why Boosie locked up yet?

Looking like the Feds picked up his charges.

I have a love/hate relationship with the streaming era. The hate side can be summarized by the decline in quality. But I love the fact its extended the careers of my favorite rappers.

Dudes like Killer Mike and Black Thought dropping heat going into their 50s is kinda wild.

I don’t think that old model works for women and definitely not in 2023. Meg sold 100k records but WAP did 7M as a single. She’s a brand with a machine behind her. Cardi ain’t had an album in years and she’s still a superstar. Munch got ice spice a deal with spanx or something.

They aren’t in a rush to put out albums. I’m not in that demographic so I might have it all wrong

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

Yea streaming sound quality is definitely my biggest gripe

He’s a felon with guns
State dropped they case
Feds said we’ll take it from here
Boosie might do some time Imo

 

[Maximus Meridius]

This the chick who’s been at the cause of this weeks fake outrage…

I gotta be missing something, b.

These girls be 5's at best but because they talk all this freaky **** _'s be going crazy for 'em.

These thot/ratchet types be setting dudes up talking all that **** about what they'll do to you and dudes don't wanna look weak so they start responding. That YK dude fell for it for real and went way overboard. A lot of these girls be faking that **** just to go viral and for attention.

Hopefully Vladimir Television can make sense of all this.

Boosie be playing with fire tho…Yo always riding with or around stuff that can get him in trouble, should know better being an older felon…He’ll sit for a while cuz the feds swooped in to take over the case

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

Boosie should have been acting more like Jeezy. Quiet, lowkey but still making a lot of money. His ego and need for attention won't let him though. He's too old to still be trying to "connect with the streets".

Pretty much the same sentiments. It’s great that artists have the independence to drop anytime they want. But…EVERY artist practically drops at the same time. That’s how you can get like 30 albums dropping in the same weekend, which leads to a lot of “came and went” talk. Not all these album came and went cause they stink, it’s simply cause too many of them drop and easily good lost in the sea of albums. There’s various albums that I’ve liked recently but damn near completely forgot they came out cause it’s a glutton of albums weekly. Lute, Little Brother, and Mach Hommy are a few that fits that bill for me.

Life really came at this ***** fast. Every time he went on a slander spree to throw mud on somebody situation, life come test him with said situation. U gotta just mind ya business and get ya money.

Wack 100 30 minute clubhouse rant coming soon.

These 2 really don’t have a bad song together if we being honest

Don’t seem like Gunna had much backing on this project. Production not all that great.

Bruh flow so smooth though.

 

[6pac]

Gunnatellsum still got it

His sound is there. Production just don’t sound as crisp. I could be off though.
