Im tired of seeing these labels serve us mid ass artists with no staying power, direction or development

This short attention span generation got the game f***ed up

Back then artist development and giving them direction was a big part of making a career happen

Now its like flavor of the momth type s*** getting the push

Whatever happened to Dre & Jermaine Dupri type niggas. Theyjust went extinct.

i have no idea what you're saying

Name some examples rn

Of what

i'm sure many artists wanting to go in a unique direction signed to labels and were pushed into being more middle of the road artists
but maybe it's just bc producers aren't as focused on building with artists

Neither does he

Soon nigga

mid ass artists

Nah labels still believe they can craft a project product and push it to the masses for consumption and profit.

It takes a special person to fit in the label's design and direction and still tell their story honestly.

If you can't do that wouldn't no A&R help you unless you stayed independent and built your own fanbase and your own sales.

Don’t know what ur talmbout. My career is goin awesome lately. I signed a HUGE deal with Alamo Records and they said I’m gonna be big time. I even get a free Smokepurpp feature

If anything can they actually just let these new acts get a project under their belts or something? Tired of seeing lil whoever the f*** get a spot on a festival line up and he only got 2 tracks and the rest he just jumps up and down like a dumbass to some other artists' tracks

Nah im around a lot of artists from
basement to stars & its really their decision to be mid as f*** nowadays. They tryna appease the general public

Theres cases like Drake or Post malone where u can obviously tell theyre holding back to be more accessible but thats not what im talking about

Yams was arguably going to be our generation's Dame Dash (in his heyday). His business acumen and cultural insight were crazy. So many people birthed in that era were the direct result of Yams putting them in the limelight.

But he was a blackout boy and it got the best of him

WHO?

PS: congrats if true.

This is why us producers need to search our influences and find our sound as well as building a relationship with a small artist. Examples: Juice WRLD and Nick Mira, Pie'rre Bourne and Playboi Carti

Lil Pump is the most mid ass nigga to become a superstar since..idek

FACTS yams was an example of what we needed more of. Creative vision and business savy while being in tune
