    couldn't disagree more

    So you’re saying that KTT couldn’t have crafted a better C6 or FATD?

    tbh usually it’s just a really adept fan that also has a good sense of business, who had the right connections that can look at things from

    A. Outside their own perspectives and tastes
    B. Gauge what makes something hot how hot it is
    C. Asses the skillet of an artist in a dif way other than “makes good music good at performing” etc
    D. The interests of the artist themselves and what it’s like to interact with them
    E. Assessing them as a brand comparing them to what their years of experience has seen before

    Most fans esp as u see on ktt aren’t really capable of doing this well, good scouters usually are determined to have that plus business sense and connections to get to where they are

    The funny thing is some of these artists are on these forums. Just listened to the new Directors Cut of Scaring The Hoes and its always jarring to hear the "you 40 and still posting on KTT" bar

    Jpegmafia is not a good representative tbf

    eye contact

    Notice how you didn’t look out for the interests of the artists but rather your own

    That’s why would never be an a&r

    Drake is kinda peak example of being right in not listening to the chatter, he casts a super wide net w every project and it’s served him super well

    Not discrediting A&R’s and execs, but on some occasions, I feel like (real) fans have more insights as to what an artist’s strengths and weaknesses are and what would make a good project.

    Even though KTT doesn’t represent the entire internet, I honesty think the knowledge that this platform has a whole is more beneficial than AR’s who don’t really tap in like we do.

    You’re really telling me we couldn’t have Wayne at least 2-3 more classics by now? Or even Drake an undeniable classic?

    I feel like at lot of the people they (not just Drake and Wayne, but a lot of artists) have around them aren’t really qualified to “produce” projects. They’re too close to it.

    I just think that fans need more of a direct impact on the product that WE are consuming.

    How we do that? I don’t know. But the ideas and passion I see on here would only benefit the artist.

    Hmm, while this is mutually exclusive since KTT does this, but I think they have a good ear for what sound marketable for the general audience/being ahead of the curve on hits

    Exec Producer is just a title to make someone feel important though 100%
