What the f*** does that mean Kobe Bryant?

(I have an idea but i’ll let y’all discuss first lol)

Joe budden said on Everyday struggle he (mike caren) had a manual on how to make hits but i cant find the video or episode. He always stood out to me after this

The entire B.o.B./Wiz Khalifa/Lupe/Flo Rida era of Atlantic was Caren. The pre-packaged rap singles with pre-written and sung pop hooks already attached was his idea and playbook. All of the beats were done by Atlantic/Warner signed producers and the same went for the writers of the hooks.

3 hours closer to midnight...

Wow. Thats something that deserves a huge deep dive but its so much content overload rn and only a few of us who was a certain age in tht era gon remember or care. Lasers got swallowed by/in that era lol

Good looks this info makes a lot of sense and adds even more context to what Joe was saying. I thought he meant a formula then in realtime in 2017 but wow

That explains everything in that era

But what does it mean

I took it as people are gonna have to be even more engaging/exciting/fake deep personalities before the music even comes into play

Think Kanye or Kodak lmaoo or it could also just mean people get way more conceptual in presentation and narrative even if the actual music still is mediocre/the same

Essentially music indistry speak for its gonna be about the controversial personalities and the semi world builders. Just my interpretation tho

Direct correlate with the cultural decline of albums

explain this to me like i'm 5 years old pls i'm tryna be successful @Brave

Have something to actually say and something to represent beyond “I’m ___ genre archetype”

Connecting deeply with audiences through your pathos is gonna be more important than ever. The substantive embodiment of that is Pac and prime Ye, the putrid version being 6ix9ine

My version: focus on quotable lyrics and creating a world that relate deeper to a demographic that isn’t being spoken to

Gotta have a podcast drop with the album

Karen in my bag

Niggas should @ homie first page of every thread like this for a deep dive
