I'm talking about him as an artist and the way he promoted his music

He blew up on a song made for Kidz Bop. He pigeonholed himself.

that's not what this thread is about though

he didn't do any of that to promote this song

His music is good enough to support itself tho so he doesn't need to do the absolute most with his marketing 24/7 anymore

he's been teasing his new single for almost a year and then comes with a super forced controversial music video as well

seems like he's always gonna be known for his antics rather than his actual music, which might backfire on him later on

idk what gimmicks op is talking about

he just teased the song with snippets and released a music video lol

pretty normal

Yup too many gimmicks

fat rnb singer

Stage just collapsed at a Rod Wave concert

Ya really like his music like that?

Lil Nas X has KTT in shambles ever since OTR tbh

Voice of the streets

you dumb as f***

thats just the latest gimmick in music videos , shock factor

when your music is trash you have to use something to get views

That's another thing. Y'all hate for Lizzo is weird af too. What is Lizzo's "gimmick" exactly? All I see is a fat singer who got co-signs from a ton of legends in music. She don't do s*** but make music and go about her life and you got people writing up whole diatribes about how being fat isn't healthy

Like she is the first fat black woman making pop R&B music. Y'all need to get a grip

So glad that "shock" value s*** is dying out

You can't make s*** music only to rely on gimmicks for promotion. look at all those SC rappers LMAO

The only one's who got away with that were the ones who originated that s***... Riff Raff except he makes great music lol

Really hope the whole meme/viral rap thing is dead for good

you don't see the gimmick in lil nas x and lizzo but see in macklemore

glad to see you're a racist

M2 wasnt streaming enough

hes doing the same thing on twitter right now and has been since he popped off. thats the main way he pushes his music

Lil Nas X hate corny— how that dude gone upset you out of all people, I’m out.

@02Shaq writing on the wall

his gimmick is using twitter ?

pretty sure he was doing that before he was famous or making music too maybe he just likes twitter

Both good
Lol
