At some point, the artist has to take responsibility for their poor performance

I look at Cole.

Hov ain’t do s*** for him after he got signed. Cole made his way on his own with hard work

Exactly. Nowadays it’s better to not sign to a label if you’re capable of doing it all yourself and that’s why there’s an exponential increase of indie artists. Everything nowadays is in our disposal. Bringing back to Teyana, my point is she has to understand that nowadays she has the ability to do what GOOD is not doing to prove that she’s worth the investment. Kanye had bargaining power and I think so did Big Sean because the label got the memo that they need those artists.

Edit: Labels are still important especially to those that are making good music AND are marketable.

whole lotta whining.... do something about it

okay Russ

Nothing bruh she totally helpless. Nothing at all. I’m sick of arguing with you niggas lmao

Did you just say an independent artist can’t get on an editorial playlist

At this moment y’all just trolling

I think points were made and now thread is dead.

KTSE OUT NOW

She's been taking the some1 help me route for a long time

Clearly it's not working for her

Sad truth. That’s how labels work.

I honestly loved her album.

And then she started trashing it

So f*** tht album I guess.

Then I listened to da album

Tht sht was mega trash fam

So idk what she wants man

If there's an indie artist excluding CHANCE on Rap Caviar rn I'll request my acc to be deleted

you’re joking right? how do you think Cole got Power Trip to be a hit? how do you think Cole landed the feature on Planez? how do you think Cole wound up on Looking For Trouble? how do you think any of Cole’s hits blew up to get his name out there? how do you think Cole got a reputation as an OG teaching the younger generation the game after not doing anything significant his entire career?

i’ll give you a hint: it beats scissors

That's 50 spots so there's sure to be 1

Is that the only editorial playlist

Damn why is this still on the top of music page and got 23 pages lol this b**** ain’t even poppin like that.

So it's impossible to get on big playlists is what you're saying

Mac?

bc the Kanye stans are fuming & the wannabe Russes are talking about how the label doesn’t owe her anything & she should be putting in more work even though that’s the entire reason anyone signs to a label

Is that the only big editorial playlist

Title says "shitting on Ye"

Idk why she attacking ye when he ain't even focused on music like that.

I Kno he tryna get everyone's masters tho.

Ye is a very s***able person tho lol ain’t no reason to even be that upset
