streamer side: gives them more credibility for future collabs

rapper side: makes them look like clowns for easy promo

Rumour of New Flight Game for GameCube

never said that was his audience

but he did cultivate an audience of people who would rather listen to people talk about hip hop than to actually listen to the music itself, which is the whole point of being a hip hop adjacent streamer

I just don’t think he did that because Joe didn’t even know reddit existed until 2023 lol. it’s niggas like Ak with discord communities and the already parasocial celebrities like Drake/Travis communities

who said anything about reddit?

ak & joe are cut from the same cloth

it’s a big aspect of the parasocial relationship people built with artists that we have seen affect websites like this with troll topics about said artists. Joe isn’t that, he’s a male Wendy Williams which is way different than streamer culture which is built on reddit/discord

depends how the rappers conduct themselves. the benefit being that no matter wat they've garnered a larger youth audience. both have the autonomy to choose who they collab with

joe doesn’t have to have known about reddit for his entire fanbase to have been from there at the time

Streamers do not need rappers lol

this how you know ktt definitely out of touch

Benny Boy packed up? We f***ing won

feels like it’s the other way around as much as it pains me to say

And soon they’ll combine into one pulsating mass of light

Get off my lawn type beat

The polo g clip begging to get into streamer university

Not to mention like half the industry goin on Neon’s streams when he got 10 minute comps being staunchly antiblack

Imagine Kendrick about to drop tpab and he gotta spend 2 hours on neon’s stream just bullshitting around
