Maybe his worst tape as far as being a cohesive project.

He tries to appeal to everyone and ends up without a real core vibe/sound. But he gets better and better with each tape.

I think hes one of the top 10 outta NY rn easily. But outside of NY he doesnt get much love. S***, even in NY he doesnt get the love I feel he should.

One of the few signed acts that still does songs with up and coming artists, giving local unsigned cats a look they'd never get otherwise.

Idk I just don’t care about him

He's beyond boring, no charisma or personality to go along with the music. People fw him though.

This is actually a perfect comparison.

He has charisma but the music is not it

But without the clickbait it won’t do numbers

Shouldn't it be about the music tho?

He hasnt had that 1 big record yet but hes one of those artists that's one hit away.

Na this not true. He’s just a very mediocre lyricist and boring. Like there’s nothing that stands out about Dave East wordplay/lyricism. Just average

Of course it should be about the music.. but there's nothing interesting about the music lol

You would have had a better thread if you would have posted some of his good songs. Way too many dope niggas out to be wasting time listening to him, imo.

Ehh if he had a hipster aesthetic more people on this site would f*** with him for sure.

Like if he was uwu rawr XD type nigga but made the same music hed have at least a couple stans on ktt

He's boring and I say this as someone who has grown up on his brand of New York/east coast rap. Yeah he raps good but he doesn't really do much to separate himself from New York gangster rappers of the past and present.

Like why would I listen to Dave East when I can throw on anyone from Griselda? Or Jay Z? Or Cam'ron and the rest of Dipset? S*** I can put on Stack Bundles and Chinx D***z over Dave East. Pro Era, ASAP Mob, and Flatbush Zombies make way more interesting music. On top of that there's the booming Brooklyn drill wave.

Dave East just don't have much to keep people all that interested.

Maybe but that percentage would increase by .5% lmao. Even if he did the aesthetic, his personality and music are very bland. It would be hard to keep someone invested wen both are lacking even with that aesthetic

Those las 3. No

Dave East has nothing in his discography that's as captivating as a BetterOffDead, Meet the Woo, Trap Lord, Cozy Tapes Vol. 1, ALLA, 1999, or AmeriKKKan Korruption. Just stop it lmao

DaBaby's music is way more catchy, East is boring as hell

There's your answer op. He's boring

You can tell by this thread that he gets alot of undue hate lol

The 3 songs in the OP are tuff. I dont think hes any worse then most of the recent rappers that get super love on this site.

S*** that complete Jay Z knock off rapper that's been getting more popular, H-D, is more interesting than Dave East

Besides ALLA, MTW & 1999. P2.
Ur trippin no1 listens to mob outside rocky, or flatbush in rl

Yea ur swag is off sir

Okay? Lmao that doesn't change the fact that they make better and way more interesting music than Dave East.

Sidebar: "no1 listens to mob outside rocky, or flatbush in rl"

Flatbush Zombies pulls in more monthly listeners on Apple Music and Spotify than Dave East. ASAP Ferg ECLIPSES Dave East.

Again. Just stop it.

He's pretty much Jay Z dropping third eye and political raps and is also capable of dropping gangster rap...what is Dave East doing that's remotely interesting? Oh yeah. Raps about Harlem, his daughter, and how he ain't make the NBA.

F*** Dave East , b**** made p**** . Point blank , walked through my set when I opened for him and sonned me by pushing me out the way hard af, hes p****, like bro you have ONE record with that busts rhymes sample don’t act Hollywood no one knows you , p****

did you say this when he pushed you?

Of course he didnt.

He let the nigga son him lol
