Is the difference between artist like for example Moneybagg Yo and Young Dolph is that one of them is signed to label and the other is independent?

Someone like Kashdoll can never be Megan status without a label right?

Chance The Rapper?

macklemore

independent parents mayb

Freddie Gibbs?

Is Earl independent?

Nope. You need that machine eventually for mainstream success

Frank Ocean?

absolutely, you just better know what you're doing on the marketing side, also some of these independents make MORE money than the mainstream star because of how many people each off the mainstream star's check

Yes. It’s not as easy for dolph to make easy hits like “Wockesha” because he doesn’t have a label budget to clear a sample like that.

Y’all need to stop believe these artist like Chance or Frank are independent they not, they got machines behind them, they just playing the game for y’all to support them more 😴

Do you find yourself smart

bro said mainstream and y’all talking about earl sweatshirt

drake out now

depends how u define independent to

In terms of no dealings with any major label entity probably not

But you can definitely tour the club/"chitterling circuit" and keep a record in the strip club/clubs along with a little radio/promo run push every now and then and maintain a solid presence

Guys like Yo Gotti and Gucci flourished off this formula at various points in their career, moreso Gotti

Boosie doing it now and lowkey killing YouTube lol

Chance could've been

he was signed since revenge i think

Forgot about Boosie. He good forever he get cancelled every other month and still gon keep some shows in the Bible Belt lol
