There’s varying degrees of independence though which influenced my statement. Some of the guys that you’re mentioning are not ‘as independent’ as tory but that’s irrelevant. Won’t go any further on it.
Okay your comment did clarify though. I understand that rn Tory does not have the backing of most of the industry and in fact is in opposition to them
He was a C list rapper at his peak lmao
Anyone who stans Tory Lanez is a joke. He tries to make party music and bangers but no one is playing that s*** outside.
what’s really fascinating tho is how this guy has released 4 classic projects in a row while doing amazing numbers while blackballed (color violet has over 70 million streams on spotify without any playlist and radio support). co signs from his former nemesis drizzy and lebron. ALL WHILE BEING INDEPEDENT.
s*** he might've released the best rap album of the yeatr
You have to do more research lol
Before talking about your first point, I’d like to say that we are in an Era of Hip Hop where it’s becoming less of a priority to get a record deal because of how grassroots everything is.
Most new hip hop artists nowadays have independent beginnings because of how accessible rap is.
Its been plenty of independent rappers who went # 1 on Apple music.
Mac Miller broke independent records with Blue Slide Park.
Chance had a historic independent moment for 3 years.
Macklemore Went Platinum As An Independent and debuted at number 2 on the Billboard in a time where Albums weren’t selling.
Its way more prolific independent rappers who sell more and have more influence. You may like Tory but that doesnt make him a big artist going on a crazy run.
Mac was with rostrum …. He Wasn’t running his own independent label like lanez
Of all people you guys are forced to back as a f*** you to cancel culture its someone as painfully generic as Tory f***ing Lanez
Genuinely embarrassing. Those cats have no shame.
Mac was with rostrum …. He Wasn’t running his own independent label like lanez
Okay. Its an independent label and Rostrum only had Wiz and Mac at the time
Tory like the Chris Brown version of Jason Derulo.
I like Alone At Prom but yeah this is spot on lmao
What classics does Tory have for real lmao
Maybe Alone at Prom in terms of quality. Doesn’t have the numbers though.
I wouldn’t consider any of them classics but that doesn’t mean they’re not good
The term “classic” is stupid and overused anyway

why is it no 1 on the apple music charts and color violet peaking in the top 40 on spotify
they gon be talking about him like he's wayne and pac in a couple years when the run keeps going
Nah once he started dropping some flavor of the month bullshit and stopped the capsule project he lost me fr f*** this
