He from Harlem that's all that needs to be said lol.

he got a few loosies on pierre production and them s***s are soooooooooo good

I didn’t say Rocky and Cudi weren’t the same era, but rocky not more influential than Cudi and Rocky is a good example of cudi’s influence

Why can I write super st ar dom

Why we never got a rocky camron song

Peak swag rapping

no it wouldnt, s*** would last a week and everyone would forget about it like every other hyped up rap album of the last 3 years

Asap nast got the most swag in asap mob lowkey

Nigga id beat the s*** out of you

but rocky doesn’t sound like cudi

I didn’t say he sounds like cudi, i said cudi influenced him. He literally did

how If he didn’t influence his music or any of his sauce

Facts, on and off the mic. Trillmatic still one of there best songs till this day tbh

They should study what The Weeknd did with After Hours

But basically, they should have a “good” singles run before the album drops, and also one afterwards

Obviously good is subjective but I think they need to do things either irl or digitally that allows fan-artist interaction &/or fan-fan synergy/interaction but hosted by the artist (an example of the last thing I just said is actually this thread. OP would be the “artist”, this thread idea would be the thread that brings us all together as “fans” and interact with each other. But it’s OPs thread so he technically hosted it. KTT would be the platform but in an artist sense they can use Instagram, YouTube, etc. an actual irl example with an artist would be when Kanye did those Sunday Service things although he didn’t use it as part of his album promo/rollout but it kept us fans on KTT steadily consuming that content, some ppl actually going irl and if there were an album dropped in the midst of that instead of being pushed back like JIK was then it would’ve lasted longer than albums nowadays)

This is a good video to watch on the subject if you care about album rollouts/life cycles

the soundcloud era died when suge dropped

ugh i see gambino in that thumbnail, god is his discography hideous

How do you know he didn’t influence his music? I take influence from s*** all the time that doesn’t mean Im gonna copy it, rocky literally said kid cudi inspired him u gonna tell him that he didn’t i outta beat you until youre leaking blood begging for mercy hard headed lil f*** boy

you dont gotta sound like a rapper to be influenced by them.

And death of xxx

The people who are earnestly fans and just enjoy what artists put out are pretty innocent in stan culture, its often the people who don't like everything an artist puts out but are such mega stans they still defend them like their lives depend on it are the real weirdos

kpop stans

u wouldnt do a damn thing, probably be out of breath from throwing one punch

U gotta have a lotta budget and label support to look at that, im sure a lot of artist just get lazy but some probably cant afford to

i just assume everyone on this site is fat tbh

cudi is more influential. with that being said, bone thugs and three 6ix are a bigger influence on rocky than cudi
