Does @op gf know of his foot fetish of random celebrity women he keeps posting pics of?

I always wanna know who was it singing his soul out on this lol

RIP Combat Jack.

Taxstone in jail.

man you a real one for mentioning nikbagtv i swear

rob markman and sway should really be cherished more

jinx and rap radar are doing dope interviews on their shows

i do feel like hip-hop media has pushed out and no longer has room for good quality journalism. like a great interview from one of the BIG media personalities? that’s rare these days

let’s be real. all the major artists didn’t stop doing press just cause they don’t feel like it. they don’t trust or feel comfortable letting any of these guys lead the conversation

all in all, sensationalism-focused media that doesn’t emphasize music and a bunch of podcasters and interviewers that don’t know how to dissect an album or get quality insight from an artist about their MUSIC is a large factor in music losing its hold and effect on audiences, in my opinion

coming up, whenever i got into a new artist, i listened to their tapes and watched all their videos, but i also watched all their interviews + reviews of their music to see different perspectives. (mainstream) hip-hop media has reached a level of incompetence and strayed so far away from music itself that it’s harder for artists to sell themselves like the last generation could.

artists build community in different ways and fans can get to learn about their new favorite artist on message boards and comment sections and twitter replies, but NOTHING is as good as learning about your new favorite artist directly and getting a piece of their personality and possibly some vulnerability. that’s what makes long lasting fans, and as the music and content gets greater, the support gets greater because you root for them. media and the artists and the labels all have to work in junction to foster that type of ecosystem.

i’m an artist but i studied journalism in college and my whole plan was to be a music writer/interviewer, my bad for making hella posts but this is something i think about often lmao

Artists aint innocent too.

Whether for better or for worse, the open accessibility of artists in the modern era has opened the doors for a lot of HILARIOUSLY introverted artists that legit don’t give good interviews or don’t know how to function in those conventional settings. Like and I know anxiety is real and maybe the silver lining of mental health being a thing instead of forcing niggas to just “thug through it” is acknowledging that, but Bryson Tiller really wanting to just call in to Everyday Struggle is a different type of “bro r u srs” energy.

Shoutout to the emo soundcloud era for that. Some of the rappers out that clan it felt like you were pulling teeth just to have to get an actual DECENT interview. I think (conspiracy s***) also the whole lowering literacy rate coincides with the fact a LOT of these niggas are not good speakers. Like at all.

And you can tell today that s*** still matters solely based on the fact there are Vince Staples fans that only know about him through his interviews.

A lot of these artists, are just not good speakers man.

And I guess on one hand, it’s okay for artists to have their own ways for their fanbase to learn more about them because back in the day it was the wild west. If you was an urban artist in the 2000s you had to get through niggas like Star. Who was a nightmare to deal with even back then!

But it definitely lowers your ceiling for exposure cause you don’t bring yourself to new audiences cause that reach just aint as far.

But it’s not even worth it cause nowadays radio interviewers sacrifice good interviews for clout chasing, look at Kehlani. That dumb ass radio station went viral for deliberately violating specific no-nos she aint wanna talk about and for what? A few clicks of engagement? Shes never coming on your show again hope it was worth it lol.

no love for 85 south? been having some great guests too they just had snoop on

"Lipstick Alley full of gay white men pretending to be black women."

One of the best posts I’ve seen on here in awhile.

I promise you don't need to go to these lengths to justify knowing the extended Joe Budden crew. I'm sure your girlfriend knows some dumb s*** too.

Zack Fox drank his own nut on live television and got his show on Vice canceled.

wait huh

cinemasai's podcast is pretty good he has good episodes

This and independent YouTube/etc streamers but OP is right af

Facts

They really are though. I still remember watching their CMIYGL review and they pointed out a line Tyler said about winning a Grammy. They clearly had no idea IGOR already won Dude with the dreads (Myke?) acted like he understood everything about BTI, he didn't need to read the screenplay. But there's stuff in the screenplay that's nowhere in the album, it's impossible to grasp the entire concept just by listening to the album

A lot of factors but aside from 106 etc dying Akademiks and world star is kind of the reason lol

Reduced every hip Hop platform that wanted to be relevant into an urban meme page

Ironically og everyday struggle was the blueprint for what entertaining hip hop a***ysis should be

As far as <25 The youth doesn’t have something like breakfast club that’s mandatory for us to go to nor as of this time an interviewer under 30 that is a must see for new artists to go talk to

My expert opinion doing their thing and Joe still hits every now and then but both have their flaws and don’t have a young person on there

One other place that ain’t get brought up that deserves more spotlight as a place dope hip hop convos take place is 85 south

And nobody on there did no. Weird s*** like everyone you named lol

Yns going up fast af too

myke c-town is a deeply troubled individual
