    #4 song independent while being good friends with one of the biggest stars in country (Shaboozey) and working with all he new stars in country with incoming features from Post, Combs and JellyRoll on a sound that’s hot right now he just got a hit off of?

    i guess we’ll see. that’s a lot of factors to fight against lmfao

    Like I said before, I could see him carving out a Rod Wave-type niche for himself where he has a big core following but is pretty irrelevant to everyone outside of that

    Rod Wave just did 150k for like the 3rd or 4th time LOL

    idk what we value as a star anymore

    Yeah, he has a big core following, but outside of that who genuinely knows and/or cares about Rod Wave?

    We’re in a time where it’s totally possible to be huge amongst .01% of people and absolutely irrelevant to the other 99.9%

    it’s how the game is determined today, on demand streams is people who pay to listen to music and he has a lot of them for a generally new artist

    that’s fine if his music boring to you, but to a lot of people, statistically, he’s not

    the post below this one best describes how i feel towards him, happy for dude tho we need more artists in hip hop with that solid fanbase

    i mean how many artists can do 150k consistently in today’s market and they just debuted a lil over 5 years ago?

    that’s a pretty big core that also equals arena tours

    feel like we could keep going, they not on mainstream pop channels, but they stars and it’s hard to deny when they step out and you just look at their numbers and the eye test of their shows lol

    Lots of people. He’s genuinely a big artist lol. He just did an arena tour.

    He doesn’t have a super online fanbase. Silent majority type s***

    I think some of y’all still haven’t accepted the fact that monoculture is six feet deep in 2025. Selling 150K alone doesn’t mean you’re known by lots of people outside of your fanbase

    Someone like Megan Thee Stallion plays the same venues as Rod Wave and is WAY more known outside of her core fanbase than he is. Does that make sense?

    ya’ll want new stars, then complain when a new one is here

    S*** is funny to me but at this point it’s just people crying about no new hip hop stars for the sake of crying
