    Post just finished a sold out US and Europe arena tour 2 months ago.. what is being discussed in here.

    Also, people need to learn biggest =/= currently most popular

    Exactly.

    Lil Baby is currently more popular than Beyonce, but saying he’s a bigger musician is wild

    Ok I think we confusing bigger vs hotter, if Niggas wanna say lil baby a hotter artist rn then beyonce I can see that argument, but when we talk about who is the BIGGER artist that’s a completely different conversation because that’s when legacy comes into play

    I mean that's fair but it still feels off to me. I guess for me bigger = hotter, and legacy = known

  • Jul 31, 2023

    Hell even drake with this tour is putting more effort then most rappers Lmao like being a Touring artist take a lot but niggas wanna stay on stage and just jump up and down while the crowd rap half their verse

    I don’t see it that way, hotter to me means you have the most buzz at this current moment. Being bigger artist mean your name is solidified in pop culture for your music no matter what you do

    I definitely think the other guy in this thread was right tho you need to take everything into account. If you base it mostly/all on touring then BTS are bigger than Lil Baby in the US. That... wouldn't feel right to me at all

    a BTS US tour would probably even compete with Travis Scott

    True we do need to take everything into account, BTS has a bigger hardcore fanbase then lil baby that fact is undeniable. But the GP knows lil baby’s music more

    I think it definitely needs to be a combination of factors, but I just feel like touring holds the most weight by itself

    Kendrick is a good example of great live performances. That's why his tour is doing great numbers. Kanye before 2016 as well

    U saying Kanye hasn’t had a good live performance since 2016?

    Well, this also has to do with the fact that BTS’s music isn’t in English, so it makes sense that Lil Baby’s music would be more well known in the US

  • Jul 31, 2023

    Just one bts member went on tour and was selling out arenas with ease it’s actually insane

    Yea that too, like they dont make English music. And they aren’t Latino so they don’t have that demographic so it’s really not their fault tbh

    I still believe Kanye could sell out stadiums in his sleep. The only question is if any touring company would be willing to take on that financial risk

    ya but thats what i was saying before, a lot of people going to BTS are going because theyre obsessed with the boys

    its more like a celebrity thing for a lot of these artists, music is just a sideeffect

    Ehh that’s part of it, when you take a look at their streaming numbers outside of the US they do quite well actually. It’s just the language barrier kinda hurts them here

    Yes and no, the people going to their shows are absolute diehard fans of the group and just K-pop in general.

    But it makes sense that, in the US, non-fans of the genre wouldn’t have any idea what their songs are because of the language barrier

    Yeah and that doesn't exist with Lil Baby

    I'm sure there's barely anyone going to a Lil Baby show cause theyre obsessed with him & wanna marry him lmao. Harry Styles/BTS etc get such a crazy tour buff w/ that

    Nah, I mean the financial risk in terms of Kanye being so unpredictable.

    He could announce an entire stadium tour, do the first three dates, go on a Twitter rant and cancel the rest of the entire tour overnight

    I’m sure there are PLENTY of women going to a Lil Baby show mostly because they’re attracted to him and want to possibly sleep with him.

    Girls love these trap rappers man lmao

    Risky

    Unfortunately, Kanye threw his career away. If 2018-2022 had never happened, he would probably be a touring force rn

    Imagine Yeezus Tour but bigger
