How is it a “fresh” sound if you admit it’s based/influenced by nostalgia?

Niggas be too sensitive over opinions lol specifically Joes. They make it seem like people are attacking him as a person

I wanna like Tommy Richman but his lyrics are so just so bad

Tommy Richman more succesful than Joe Budden?

C**

Joe was in love with him not too long ago. Reddit saying joe found out whose artist he was and turned out to be an opp

You cracked the code, labels def pay controversial figures to slander their artists like this (not saying this is always the case) at an attempt at reverse psychology

Lmao and what’s wrong with that?

Literally like what’s the difference between this guy and Mac Miller? Mac miller gets all the praise no one hates Mac miller…..

But this Tommy Richman guy?

Fr Yall only hate Tommy cuz he’s everywhere

I didn't admit that. I said people gravitate towards artists with nostalgic sounds and Tommy has a fresh sound unlike most so thats why he gets hate. People are obsessed with hacks like Sabrina Carpenter, Meg the Stallion or Chappell Roan who just copy the past and add nothing new.

He is from VA, so the Pharrell influence is natural. And he’s been making music for like 5 years and I constantly see people say that it’s good music too even though I personally never peeped. So he’s not a plant….so WHY do people hate this guy so much?

tommy is not going to f*** you brother

In other words: “I have nothing else to say”

@Echiham

Ye would absolutely say that line

Such an unnecessary and ignorant line

Joe Budden rn:

Tommy is cool man seems to make music to vibe to and finally blew up with a hit like most other artists. Joe just a bitter old man who sits on a pod with 10 other middle aged niggas and gossip for 3 hours in the hope of getting a viral clip like this

nothing wrong with it, I said Fresh is relative. Just bc I think something isnt fresh doesnt mean you dont.

because Mac Miller stayed in his lane and did not encroach upon black art. He was obviously playing homage the entire time Didn’t sound like he was trying to emulate Black people. That’s why he always escapes the culture vulture claims. He started out doing frat boy/stoner rap and did natural progressions into cloud/jazz rap.

For outsiders Respect in hip-hop is earned, not given.

Lol

I mean I won’t come off as if I’ve heard all of his music so point me to the songs that don’t fit in this box.. but the most I’ve heard of his sound is that it’s influenced by the Neptunes. And if that’s the case he would fit in that same lane of the artist you mentioned

A legend gone before his biggest pivot at least we got swimming and circles
