Also don't act like yall don't have wilddddd ass SS moments in here too lmfaooo

Molten robocop wasn't up to nothing on that island

sell well” is a relative term in this music industry. . i don’t think most of the world is ready to have this conversation

But simply put every artist is not selling well because this industry did not have an ethical price point for whole sale of music - in the late 20th century it went haywire.

At the very end of the cd reign they were charging up to 14 dollars whole sale to record stores!!! How are fans going to continue buying & how is retail making anything off this?

Now when you look at streaming, this is all fugazi. Every single artist. Simply put - the music industry plummeted because people were charging close to and over 20$ for cd’s & the artists were seeing nothing, fam

And these record stores had to sell more & more shirts & bootlegs to just break even to pay their employees. That’s some game for you, Elemental

But streaming can’t be considered a metric in sales, fam. It’s just too manipulated now, it’s basura to even consider it

i’m going to make a post on billboard some day. Everyone has seriously been miseducated on this corrupt corporation

This whole industry is everything Prince, Peter Tosh & zappa told us from the jump.

Artists are meant to look like failures - especially independent labels

Why do you think in rap industry very few independent artists are represented in any of these bamboozled ranking charts ?

And when napster happened, consumers just sprinted to that door. Because the way it was going, people were going to pay up to 25$ + a cd.

This is how dumb the music business is, Elemental. They just constantly lie & most do not even begin to understand the truth. They just run with the narrative of someone being a failure & success by a fugazi streaming philosophy now

It’s just such 🗑️

Drake

When Alfonse came out the gate with that pure hate

nah I think he was a sicko

It didn’t even have a lead single.

My man brought out exhibit A through Z for the jury

ah damn thank u for telling us the truth. I almost got fooled by all the hip hop legends and other rappers who are putting him in their all time great rapper lists

He prolly was tbh smh

Drake’s very first album he went and grabbed the biggest names he could to help carry his numbers. We know this already.

Yeah back in 2022 ppl really cared about him and his wild ass s***, now barely lol.. was very genius of him to push iran to do what it's their doing now as recompense for him buying their drones at 200% markup lol

Parking Lot is so good man I can’t wait for Mustard’s record

I'm sorry this just too hilarious to not comment on again lmfaooo

That screenshot of west side asking for backup is nothing lol.

Especially when yall coordinate in a discord lol

You stanning, that s*** was hilarious. It's literally how all this thread lurking started lmaooo. Also what discord?

ab soul is absolutely right. no gimmicks. just gotta lock in and rap his ass off

nobody knows all the weird s*** happening around them

Big Dog and all his alts felt like a fever dream.

they in that other thread prayin Not Like Us got a reference track

Sure it’s funny but you’re comparing that to Giovanni who went on a rampage of posting weird animal videos and surgery gore. Like it’s not comparable lol

Human perception of the light spectrum talk?
