I support Roddy because The Box and Ballin are some of the best rap singles in a long time. I hope he finds his mojo again.

I feel you. I really enjoyed that What You Need hook tho

It's still in there, If he can put out stuff like Stunnaman he still has the ability

He just need to drop his monster

Life of a Don was a decent album. He isn't a good example because his debut was ass and his second was only slightly better.

You can’t expect a The Box on every album. Songs like Hibachi and 25 million are making a little noise, they would prob be bigger if not for the narrative surrounding the album. Also Late at Night was a hit, even if inorganically.

The biggest reason artist fall off is when they lack the insight to see that they are not making quality music. Once that happens it is game over.

No skip policy

Joke on you roddy ricch I skipped this Akademiks video too!

ak is so unbelievably bad at interviews. asks the dumbest questions and barely can string sentences together. my goodness

Should have released Feed Tha Streets 3

He tries to be messy and edgy while being scared 🤣

When you come in the game biting someone else’s style or following trends, you become forgettable much easier. Who cares about Roddy when there’s dozens of other rappers that sound exactly like him.

This is why artists with original/distinct styles always have such loyal fans.

Nigga the people that listen to this type of music don’t give af about these artist

The music they making ain’t special

These niggas ain’t special

Second album slump has been a thing for decades 💀

The problem with rap music and fans nowadays…

Everyone says you gotta have your own style if you wanna stay in the game now, etc etc…. Yet the only people, for the most part, that get buzz and poppin now are just copycats of each other

Everything sounds so similar besides like the big established artists

It’s like you gotta have your style but you also gotta sound like everyone else…. Or at least sound like the style that’s popular right now if you’re a new/young artist

Fans are so fickle. Artists have to be on a timetable when releasing music in order to stay relevant. It's no longer possible for artists to live and create without "fans" saying you fell off. If the music aint there then, it aint there but still artists have the license to release music when they want to.

Man Live Life Fast was a solid project. Maybe the expectations for him were too high.

Let me guess, your precious artsy rap is what’s so special and deserve all the praise huh?

There’s no appeal

Most artists these days have very short shelf life even if they can make good songs that’s just how it is

Newer artists need to have cult-like stans n s*** to survive

Yup

I mean people were clicking on his album because of The Box which was heavily heavily pushed

Without that single would they be checking the album? I don’t think so. It’s not that the fans aren’t there now, they were never really there.

Y'all keep saying this but most young acts don't have the luxury of leaving, we have never seen it work
