still gotta mention it again but the fact that they dropped the ball on ameer with that in mind is wild to me. this should not have gone the way it did with the caliber of people they were associated with

it’s okay to just be a fan sometimes, it’s bizarre to see people who don’t follow the industry try to weaponize normal public info against artists lol

there are people who actually pretended to be indie when they had a major deal and even then idc to use it against them cause fans shouldn’t care in the first place. do you like the art or not!

you mean dropped the ball with how he exited the group? he left

or do you mean their response to the news when it came out?

Oh yeah him doing it during coloring book was the worst lmao

It isnt the fans weaponizing but it’s acknowledging the fact a major label artist could masquerade as an indie while real independent artist struggle to get a budget, promote their music, figure out how to even just release music

is kinda severely f***ed up

Industry need more Yams/Naavin type characters that actually care type s***

@op you should read this article about 10k

sammysworld.org/business-as-unusual

yeah both things. not being able to show the big picture and let bro leave over weak sauce bullshit that has nothing to do with getting money. dude left brockhampton to be a f***ing security guard. thats not even on him being stupid (at least not entirely) thats mismanagement. the entire momentum for the group got screwed. travis scott saw 12 people die and hes bigger than ever one could argue. they jus couldnt shut the all the way the f*** up and maybe do some dv fund donations???? guy has credits on eminem albums but cant handle ten f***head 20 year olds??

read this when it came out but im p sure i didnt finish it its good s***

Travis Scott is travis f***ing scott.

If anything the bh situation punctures your argument in op in the first place.

It was around January or February of 2012. I had started going to a ton of local gigs around Boston (where I'm from) to get involved in the culture. I had been going alone, no friends or anything. Now around October I had met this dude named "Da Corporation." He had worked with other Boston MCs like Young Bean and O.T.O. This dude was young and real cool, we became good homies. Now back to February. Corp had been contacted by Daniel Weisman (Wale's manager) or one of his representatives and asked to open for him at a show in New Haven. Corp asked if I wanted to join him. I really f***ed with Wale's music so I said yeah. Why not. Free show. My dude is performing.
Okay, flash to the show. We had been on a long ass road trip, we were hungry as hell. But we didn't have any time to grab anything. This one dude named David or Davion said the team (Wale and people) were going to go get food after and we could join them. I was like hell yeah. eatin dinner with Wale. That'll be sick.
Corp killed it. Got the crowd jumpin and everything. I was hyped. Wale came through later and I expected him to do something like say my friend did a good job or something but nah. He didn't say s*** he came out and started performing. I was like whatever and started jamming.
After the show. We follow that Davion dude to Wale's bus and ask where we're going. Then some white dude says that they're going to get pizza and to hang tight and that Wale is in the back we can chill. So we go to the back, say hey. He says nothing. My friend sits down next to him, I sit down across from him. Wale is just texting. I didn't want to be an a****** so my friend and I just started talking about random s*** like the trip or or comic books or how dope the show was (Wale couldn't hear us). Then my friend slides over and tries to dap Wale and talks about how much he loved Ambition and he was honored to perform. Now let me tell you this part is completely true. Wale looks up from his phone, stares my friend in the eye as he's speaking, then says "shut the f*** up" literally fifteen times in a row. My friend already shut up from the first one. Wale shakes his head like he's disgusted or something then looks back at his phone. My friend was in shock. He didn't expect that at all. He moved over to sit next to me instead so Wale was alone on the couch with a few girls and some dude we didn't know. We started talking again waiting for the food and Wale looks up and asks "you two know what shut the f*** up mean?" the girls start laughing and i make a "wtf" face. Wale shakes his head and laughs at me. Saying I look ed. And that my friend was a wack performer.
Corp didn't want to start s*** so he kept his head down and stayed quiet. I was pissed off. I asked Wale why he would invite Da Corporation if he didn't think he was good. Wale just shrugged and said he didn't even know about it. I was shaking my head and began whispering to Corp about how Wale was a b****. I think Wale noticed me talking s*** because he came over and started me in my eyes. Like he was gonna f***in kill me. He told us to get the f*** out and Corp managed to say that we were waiting for the pizza. Wale said "aint no pizza. get out"
So we did. We had no food and no place to stay so we just slept in Corp's cousin's car (he drove it up there) then drove back to Boston the next morning. He kinda stopped rapping after that and we don't talk much.
Basically, Wale is an a******. My friend was trying to give him props on an album Wale just told him to shut up. We didn't even do anything. Kinda sad really.
Everyone on KTT was asking me about it saying I'm just talking s***. I'm not. This is real s*** and I'm sure someone else who has met the dude can say the same thing.
thanks for reading

so the argument for them being more 'authentic' than anyone else is actually the fact that the entire thing was allowed to fall apart so easily? like there was no prior financial incentive to maintain this group so they didnt care to keep it alive?

just wait till this guy hears about the strokes!

BH aint have enough money/connections to withstand an entire fanbase rolling with them hiding an abuser/someone who robbed a member.

It aint that no one “allowed” anything to happen. The ship was sinking and the repair the cracks wasnt worth the money.

Travis Scott is was on McDonalds my nigga. A couple dead bodies (that wasn’t even directly his fault) is NOT deterring that train.

lmao that s*** was not a mansion

chance's lane was really really contrived, and it overshadowed the music quite often. Pre Big Day the quality of the music was enough to help him retain his position, but uhhh we saw what happened when he couldn't keep that up

really weird arguments itt - Travis Scott is a small economy. Brock Hampton was a pretty good band. with like 5 albums no one liked

“5 albums no one liked”

You and I both know that sentence wasnt necessary

i have a need to express my feelings...

Idk what is up with ktt’s hate for bh (besides envy) but as someone that aint f*** wit their s*** myself

Bro, people LOVED them niggas.

@KevinAbstract Let me hold a dollar.

Still love them.

Say YOU didnt like em then lol.

If no one liked their 5 albums they wouldnt have been able to drop 5 albums silly billy

i meant after the ones people liked tbh but i was doing hyperbole

I aint familiar with the discography

the one with the thermal cover-idk the names
