In order to run the best rapper label all your artists have to be good

Homixide gang f***ing suck dude

Yes although idk how long this aesthetic can last

I like DL but I can’t f***ing stand Ken Carson

Absolutely.

where the f*** my blunt where the f*** my cup where the f*** my reefer

when you say kendrick are you referring to pglang or tde? lol

i fw opium heavy but as a label they have a while to go before they hit tde levels let alone lap them

ok ill be the old head and ask who is on the label?

and would yall say its better than what Gotti has done with CMG recently?

doesn’t kendrick only have his cousin? OVO’s best days were in the previous decade

backwoodz studios 🤘

He has to move the goalposts because he knows that Carti can’t compare to Kendrick or Drake in terms of actual rapping ability lol.

raider klan was different man they had like 30 guys

ofc im talking abt pglang kendrick does not run tde lol

very few younger rappers can compete with last decades artists in terms of pure rapping and if we’re only talking bigger artists the best pure rappers are coming out of the uk imo

sza

move goalposts?

this whole thread is just abt the artist-run label discussion f*** outta here

i thought sza was still TDE damn

sza not on pglang

wait my bad

they’re definitely winning clout and numbers wise

quality is a different story

“opium” is like the male version of egirls calling themselves “emo” “goth” “grunge” etc

Vastly more talented at that too.

i love raider klan and i love opium. raider klan was different but idk if id say vastly more talented. i get if ur old and opium music doesn't rlly click for u but as someone who's been following the online underground for a minute, i can tell u these guys are making some of the best music rn

carti label has Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely and homixide gang. Ken and lone are the interesting ones, homixide gang is just carti shooters.

glorilla had more commercial success than anyone on opium when she went on her lil run but im ngl she kinda already fell off. moneybagg yo currently doing better numbers than ken and lone but if opium's momentum keeps up that won't be true for much longer. I think the key difference tho is that carti's artists are pushing the genre forward w new sounds and have developed their own cult fanbases. There's hella young ppl who make being a fan of opium part of their identity, idk if u can say the same for moneybagg yo.

u got a good point tho CMG rlly the only current competition as far as artist-run labels
