i’d rather see drake on jimmy fallon again before some s*** like akademiks or kai cenat streams
Lets cut the bs, niggas just want a soundbite.
Drake, Kendrick and Cole are at a point where them doing interviews with rap media does WAY more for the media than it does them. So why would they WANT to get interviewed by someone like Ebro or The Breakfast Club who are gonna try and get a soundbite out of them and/or make them uncomfortable?
Exhibit A:

in general i wish drake did more tv appearances, he’s a lot funnier and natural then the rappers you do see on there
at the end of the day they are entitled to do what they want but i do wish they still did interviews bc i like to hear them expand on their process

!https://youtu.be/_bVfElFMVF4Honestly I think The Breakfast Club would give Kendrick or Cole pretty good interviews today though, when its an artist they respect they take a more serious tone and they heavily praised the off season and especially mr morale that woulda been a good interview tbh
But even if not them it’d be dope for them to sit down with someone like Sway or Zane Lowe
It does suck that a lot of rappers will only do interviews with major white publications once they reach a certain level of success
cuz these "white organizations" are more serious and music/art focused, like Zane Lowe
rather than the gossipy/hypcritical/toxic world of breakfast club/Hot97/shaderoom
Yeah i cant co sign this
What its really about is they don't make a bag of the interviews, and they cant build thier credibility of thier platforms.
But why should the artist do it, what do they get?
"Promo" yesh that was always BS
Interviews was just a part of the radio finesse payola scam days to ensure playtime, now that radio era is nearly over the artists dont need it and dont get any benefit from it. Promo works in 5% of cases at best.
If Apple Music and Spotify started giving preferential treatment to artists for interviews then it might change otherwise its over and imo thats good people need to stop caring about personalities of musicians to begin with
I'm surprised Kendrick hasn't done more interviews with Zane given who his uncle is
When you’re the biggest fish in the hip hop pond why talk to a lil streamer fish when there’s a bigger streamer fish in another pond with another school. If it’s not expansion it’s just making content for the f*** of it at that point and I think some are artists are little more intentional. If they’re just trying to get info out to their fans they could go on ig live for 30mins with the camera pointed at a ceiling fan.

Why dont they go fw Sway then?
Video interviews is where it’s at. People more than ever wanna see their fav celebs personality and if u have a talented interviewer, they can bring that out
yea ppl dgaf about radio personalities anymore the money is in youtube
Dude I bet interviewing with the typical hip hop journalists is f***ing exhausting mentally when you’re a famous rapper lol they probably think they’re dumbfucks and out to get them and rightfully so
And some hip hop interviewers be too messy just so their audience can say “they were keeping it real” I get why a bigger name would avoid that. There’s usually nothing to gain from it but a shaderoom post.
Like could you imagine being a successful rapper and having rapist Charlamagne trying to pull his “keep them humble” persona on you
I would tell him to shut the f*** up so fast lol

But Charlamagne has interviewed Cole and Kendrick before and been perfectly nice and respectful to them i dont think thats why they dont do interviews anymore
And there are other interviewers
