Put some names on that s***

It's sad you guys really think this is down to a small bit of fans and journalists and not down to the level of budgets they're given beforehand. If they blew up y'all would be the first to call them industry plants

seems like i struck a nerve

if what you got out of that post was “you’re blaming the fans and journalists instead of the label” i really have no clue what to tell you

we’re having a meta discussion about music communities

Nah you just love any chance to use this emote and realise you don't have a decent argument

99.9% of his posts tbh

You're the one conflating quality with reach or money

Funny you couldn't include in your reply above

go put on that Little Simz lil bro

nigga dumb as s*** lmao

Thanks for proving me right

i never said Little Simz sucked because she couldn’t tour over here

You was just supporting the OOP with "the point is" blah blah blah. Don't walk back on your words now lmao

the entire point of OP is he’s saying niggas praise and d***ride artists that they do not actually support or care about as a form of cultural/social capital

@WRU gave an example of the load of online love she received by white journalists and other hipsters bigging up Little Simz and yet being unable to tour because of a lack of demand

that doesn’t have anything to do with whether or not her music is actually good, it has to deal with people posturing

i even mentioned Atrocity Exhbition

Danny Brown had all that online hype before AE and the s*** sold like 4k

He/her literally called her "mid", did you miss that part or?

i forgot it, i don’t share his sentiment so that’s my bad

i still don’t get how you got she couldn’t tour because she was trash out of what he said anyways tho

I dont care spark master tape is a legend even if no one on this site ever listened to his peak era

i literally focused on the second portion of your post and you chose to put words in my mouth

shouldn’t even had bothered

@edumist

same w/ niggas that s*** on Megan Thee Stallion and Latto for p**** raps and say women should rap like Rapsody

they aren't listening to that s*** man

i deadass should've used this example instead of Sah, mfs do ts 24/7

Wait you came in supporting his original statement, admit that you missed part of what he said and you're blaming me for thinking you completely agree with him lmao

and then kids like swayzo feel offended because they know it’s true lmao

you know how many times i’ve asked one of these morons to show me their listening stats for Noname or a Solange and they can never do it?

these niggas will have you believe they’re a Rapsody superfan and won’t have a vinyl, CD, never hit a show, nothing

let alone 5 hours of playtime on a streaming service

You listening to Noname and Solange daily bro?

im not bumping that s***

give me that Doja and Beyonce
