    s***'s been fake for a long time now. Fat Akademiks straight up said that Lil Baby's label paid him like $30K to get him to stop talking s*** about Lil Baby, while Rob Markman was saying that someone from ovo reached out to him and asked Rob to say positive things about Drake during the beef in return for information and access to him lmao

    this is something that isn't a new phenomenon though. going back to old hollywood, just read up on Louella Parsons and see her role in trying to take down Citizen Kane and Ingrid Bergman due to her relationships with powerful people like William Randolph Hearst and Howard Hughes

    Akademiks should’ve been shot back in the War In Chiraq days one bullet could’ve saved the hiphop landscape in more ways than we can imagine

    then trap lore ross would have taken his place

  • Not adolf Ross and Drake. They’re close friends

    “streamers by themselves are not tastemakers.” Agree wholeheartedly im saying more so that themselves, their audiences and media treat them as such.

    But towards your part about the audience I think that’s a big unspoken part of why the bs is allowed to flourish. The kids are alright but at the same time a lot of these lil niggas are stupid asf, when you also factor in that a lot of the audience is non black it makes a lot of sense as to why streaming and its relationship with hiphop is the way it is.

    The kids are not alright man the kids are illiterate

    Buddens is hiphop Yakub

    Budden, Soulja Boy, T-Pain and Lil B

  • Funny how y'all all assumed I meant Joe Budden.

    Soulja Boy is literally one of the first youtubers ever.

    A lot of streamers bot their viewer counts too.

    Right, exactly. All this s*** is pretty much made to seem bigger than it is. I bet soon we're gonna see the bubble pop with streamers the same way we're seeing with actual job sectors and AI. Once ad companies realize how much money they're spending just for robots to watch their ads, something will break in that industry and it's gonna be cooked.

  • In 2026 anybody that isn’t content to just chat about hip hop with their friends or in a message board has a parasitic relationship with it imo

    whenever i see a rapper go on a stream, i immediately think that the record labels are the ones signing them up to appear on said streams as a promotional tool

    this thread reminded me of this vid

    When N3on "randomly" came across Mozzy shooting a music video and they just let him in

  • we've arrived to a point where a collab between a rapper and a streamer benefit more to the rapper than the streamer. Hip-hop is pretty dead.

    Lil Tjay was begging DDG, PlaqueboyMax and N3on to react to his new album ...

    Polog G want to go to streamer university

  • You could tell the label forced him to do a stream with N3on Thug and his kids just straight up bullied him the whole time

    Chill on Osama I fw psykotic

    but you say chill on Osama when he’s the crutch to the very thing you dislike in OP his OG, a hiphop legend, taking baby oil on Adin Ross stream and saying s*** like “I got a girlfriend but she don’t got a boyfriend” as a grown ass man about his ex-fiance feeding into the parasocial BS which niggas like Osama follow and do the same in their lane

    it’s all cooked bro

    Can’t this apply to any d*** dealer or street rapper in it for the money as well?

    my take is that streamers evolved from podcasters so we can actually blame Joe Budden for this

    nah streaming and hiphop crossover came from 2K and Fortnite streams so you can blame Drake and Travis Scott lol

    cause Joe is 40+ years old and gets the topics for his podcast from Boxden and the shade room. it’s actually funny how one to one it was at some point as recently as last year. His audience is not streamers lmao, it’s parasocial niggas in group phone calls on Twitter, IG Live and YouTube/Reddit
