like who?

With that being said, it couldn’t be that hard to keep us satisfied. The one artist appreciation week they had last year was absolutely not enough. How hard is it to drop a loosie here and there? That goes for Kendrick too, dude has done nothing to keep us even slightly fed

SZA is an absolute mess of an artist
Dope but a mess

one album and it's a classic. what a mess

fr yeah i know artists who will never drop s*** solely bc they think it sounds bad, no matter how many people want it

Could totally see this happening at TDE, SZA doesnt wanna drop her album and management 2 busy getting faded 2 tell her otherwise.

That’s all it was

Top Dawg is the new Suge Knight.

SZA signed to the label in 2014 and has only released 2 projects in 7 years.

i mean 2 projects in 7 years is 2 more than most artists signed to most labels

Nothing

Suge Knight would've forced Isaiah into dropping unfinished projects and enabled his bad habits. lmfao.

It's coming out in June.

Meaning that it has substance and isn’t just saying nothing over a hard beat.

I like that s*** too but I prefer they take time and give an album I can sit with.

The rapid pace of releases for some artists and streaming has set this expectation for fans that we need new music every year.

That felt like a big "f you" to the fans, not appreciation lol.

You thought you had one huh

"zay has a kid" okay... And what about the other 5 years he didn't drop

So where was he? That depends on where you want to start. Consider the 30 days detoxing and surrendering to a higher power in an Orange County rehab facility; the time he was so drunk boarding a flight that the cops nearly arrested him (he still isn’t sure why they didn’t); the time he wrecked his Jeep; the other time he wrecked Top Dawg’s Honda but fixed it so that his label boss never found out. That time Isaiah — or Zay, as everyone calls him — returned home and swore he’d given up rapping for money, and the abyss he faced when he finally came back to L.A., dead broke, sleeping on a friend’s couch, having somehow spent all of his money on supporting friends and family, buying clothes, and eating “really expensive sandwiches.”

I dont think you know who Suge Knight is

Yeah lmao literally nothing alike

And Suge was a slave master & b**** slapping everyone from engineers to producers to rappers & managers lol

pandemic, personal s*** happening and the albums prolly still being tweaked. kendrick said he got an album done but pandemic ruined it, zay dropping next month so simmer down & sza still working on her album

Exactly

same niggas who complain about how music turned into fast food n not luxury fine dining. u cant get no 3 michelin star restaurant kinda music if tde rushing it lol

Pretty sure SZA is still working on her album, she only started a few months ago

Maybe she scrapped the previous versions she's made due to insecurity

Honestly dont know what this thread is talking about lol.

Only people that dont drop consistently are SZA, Isaiah & Soul. Who all also have their own personal issues that mainly delay their s***.

Everyone else is consistent, & they were focusing on Reason the last year or two.

Q is literally the biggest next to Kendrick & SZA, but it isnt the label's fault that he dropped an album that doesnt appeal to the mainstream or the hardcore. He literally tried to make an album "for everyone" that pleased no one which is how it usually goes when you try to do that. He really fumbled himself.

Rock is always niche & does what he wants as a vet, but he still had an album relatively recently. He always drops after long periods. Nothing new.

Sir & Reason are consistent af & probably the most consistent out the whole label with both feats & projects. They dont have a problem doing whatever whenever.

Skii & Zacari, well those two i dont know cuz i dont like them lol especially Skii. I dont keep up with them at all so i dont know, but i think Zacari had an EP in 2019.

Kendrick had Damn in 2017 & Black Panther in 2018 back to back. Its barely been 3 years total. Yall over exaggerate THE F*** out of his absence for whatever reason. I dont see it anywhere else. He will more than likely drop this or next year, he usually drops major projects within 3 years.

But yeah, its really not that bad overall.
