I think creatively he has a lot of potential based on his ear for beats. I think he has the potential to make a quality album built around a concept with different variety of sounds that don’t hinge on certain elements he’s become accustomed to. Time will tell, for now he working. Some weak track here and there, but all artists have that. I can see he’s been tryna expand on his emotional side more and shift his sound at the same time. We’ll see

New album is so good mane, I always find a way to keep coming back to it.

been listening, but after u made a new thread rather than using mine i stopped posting about it xD

The god himself just blessed the album

Billboard #4 incoming

I will not be attending the WHAM Tour with Lil Baby. As most of y'all know, I hurt my foot about a week ago. I've been trying to stay off it, but my doctor is telling me that a tour right now is not what is best. With that being said, I apologize to my fans, to Lil Baby, to Live Nation," he continued. "I'm not gonna lie, I was ready to turn up. But with that being said, we got some stuff in the works. Once I'm back right, we back to it.

Damn
He couldn’t just pop out in the motorized wheelchair like Dave Blunts?
Smh
Lost a huge opportunity with this

How’d he even get injured?

I really f*** with the Texas Sound him and OT got going on

it is a huge opportunity missed but I think he wants to give fans a proper show and not go out there just to half ass it cause he can. especially cause he probably the main opener for the show. I think he’ll be straight causes he’s locked in with a lot right now, but yea def a big miss

Opening for Baby is a waste of his time. He's going country and got a whole festival run this summer.

Sucks for the fans tho

Maintaining and building a fan base on the back of an established artist is never a waste of time

I agree he is still gonna be fine, it’s not the end of the world for him, but it would’ve been cool to see

opening for Baby is not a waste of time, are you dumb bro?

just go listen to literally his first 2 albums

further establishing the fanbase he built to this point with this tour before pivoting is essential. and he’s not going country, it’s still going to be hiphop with country influence featuring country artists but its built around hiphop

He's supposed to be dropping a country EP within the month...and he was going to be on Morgan's album but he didn't finish his verse.

I'd agree about opening for Baby wouldn't be a waste of time for any other artist, but he was announced as an opener in Feb and his career has obviously has taken off since. Just look at the other openers and tell me they're all on the same level lol.

And I don't mean traditional country

It's like when Doja dropped out of the Weeknds tour. She didn't need it.

Read this and tell me opening for Lil Baby is essential for his career lol

holler.country/news/breaking/bigxthaplug-confirms-hes-finished-his-country-ep-featuring-post-malone-jelly-roll-shaboozey-and-more

lmaoooo

that's not the same thing

doja cat was already having monster hits in 2022
it was a staduim tour

Big X has a solid fanbase and unique image, he has an audience, but its not a good comparison

she dropped out because she had a surgery that affected her vocals, I'm sure she would've loved to go on that tour

I could've been an opener, I redirect the bookin'

none of the other openers have sold 48k first week independent so idk what you tryna say gang lmfao, him missing this opportunity won’t hurt the momentum he’s already built

he could easily make up for this by opening on Morgan, Post’s or Zach Bryan’s tours, 3 people that are his homies lol

Lil Baby is one of the biggest rapper of 2020s with one of the best selling, future classic albums in My Turn

again, you not really making any sense lmao. it’s essential because it further establishes Bigx within the space that Baby leads (parties, functions, hard raps over hard trap beats, etc)

BigX needs a Lil Baby type star to break the mainstream, he’s just a really strong niche artist still despite his immense efforts

It isn't 2020 anymore. Take Care dropped months before WHAM and has been outperforming it for months. Baby flopped and he'll likely never get another 'My Turn' again.

He just scored a #4, so how is opening for an artist who hasn't had a hit in 5 years going to break him into the mainstream? Also we're both overestimating what opening for an artist is actually going to do for his career lmao.

I'm not gonna say he's lying about the injury, but just yesterday he was accepting a Billboard Country award in Nashville and he'll allegedly be performing at Gov Ball tomorrow... seems like none of his plans other than opening for Baby has changed.

And the CMA Fest is this weekend. He might pull up there too.

you putting BigX ahead of Lil Baby is where this conversation begins and ends lmao

he’s opening for Lil Baby because Lil Baby is the bigger artist. get off of Billboard.
