This is all semantics to me considering the fact that she’s treating it like an album and submitted the project for awards + GKMC is Dot’s first major label album

It starts at home fs.

I will forever miss them as a duo

molly santana better

Nah. There were a couple okay songs on it, nothing that i'd save tho. Felt like most of it was half ideas and demos. But it's all subjective soo

In the interview with Rick Rubin he even refers to TPAB as his 2nd album

Well also that’s the point of the album lol she intended to have the project be a proof of concept across all her skill sets

Thread has come fool circle

Seriously no one outside of that ug bubble believes in any of these artists lol

Lol

TDE tiktok one hit plant could never

Somebody gets it

u shed a tear to this too?

don’t even mess w/ Noname like that but Telefone at the bare minimum is a real nice album

One thing I think people truly do not understand is the fact that the industry is built off osmosis from artists that people (fans and other artists) actually respect

The difference with a lot of these up and comers is that no one is co-signing them, making music with them, bringing them out during shows, letting them open on tour, etc. For example, the first time I ever really took in Uzi was at Yams day in 2015 because I was already a fan of the mob and they were respected within hip-hop, so I became curious and turned into a fan

We’re seeing something similar now with artists like Doechii through obviously TDE, Kendrick and Bey. Mk.gee through SZA, Yachty, 6lack and Bieber

As far as I can tell right now no one cares about Molly Santana except Osamason and Nettspend

Molly Santana is who Nella Larsen wrote about

💯💯💯

So how does an album full of half ideas sound like the fully fleshed out songs I linked lol

I'll be here for her debut.

"Career" of social media "influencer"

I just made the cut 😎

How can you even call yourself a hip hop fan if you don't like hip hop? Go f***ing listen to some other genre and don't complain about people who you aren't entertained by.

Fireflies, Denial, Alligator Bites, Wait, Slide all sound fleshed out

And that opening stretch is just back-to-back-to-back-to-back if really good shows of skill on a same palette so it feels like a medley

its because the latter wants to portray themselves as d***ged out (usually pills or lean) and/or not caring about the music because they have better priorities like going after the opps or doing more d****

I think that's because peoples attention spans have gotten worse over time and I think this is mostly due to the smartphone because when they were less common and even with TV and desktop/laptop computers, it wasn't this bad

I was born in 2001 and I only got persistent access to a smartphone when I was around 12 years old, I used to be able to keep steadier focus on things like books for example but since we've entered this new "ipad kid" era, it's been downhill
