    bc the Kanye stans are fuming & the wannabe Russes are talking about how the label doesn’t owe her anything & she should be putting in more work even though that’s the entire reason anyone signs to a label

    Russ making big moves as an indie and not getting bent over so I’m cool with that

    Is that the only big editorial playlist

    Teyana's (a signed artist) lead single was only added to New Music playlists (for 7 days) and smaller ones for a total of like 7M

    Non Def Jam artists get like 40M

    Mac and Chance were making bank being independent. I know you talking bout playlists but if you’re a good independent artists it’ll pay off. If you stink then you just stink

    Not Like Josuke

    Her attitude is horrible?

    big tipper is leaving out the fact that according to Teyana, content from KTSE was cut out without her being in the loop because of Ye.

    Doesn't matter how good the beats were if thats the case.

    She never even came to the studio cuz she preferred to be *ick downed instead of actually working on her album like everyone else

  • Dec 6, 2020

    Unrelated to this label drama but I just listened to KTSE in full for the first time in two years, that’s actually a really good album

    Mac was signed like years before streaming got big

    Chance got the same manager as Eminem, he doesn't count

    Yes but your argument is basically saying independent artists are lowballed regardless of talent or actually being good. Mac and Chance were independent regardless and still blew up because they were grinding to get to the point they got to. It takes talent and dedication to actually see it pay off.
    It’s not just about playlists, you’re kinda s***ting on independent artists who have actually tried. I believe you said you’d request to delete your account

    Funny how if this was someone from ovo this would be at 500 pages full of drake hate

    But it’s a female artist from GOOD, so ktt thinks it’s her fault lol

    Cuz it is her own fault.

    How u gon have ye production and then trash your own album?

    I understand some s*** was changed album release but you also weren't there for the studio sessions.

    Beats not getting cleared is also a normal thing in hip hop.
