Sounds interesting. Will keep it in my reading list. Is the book really pro-Industry like that?

No not at all, it’s a play on words about tribalistic fan groups and how they self-impose their titular “labels” in opposition to other genres. Not about like Columbia or RCA or anything haha

famous rock star because rock stars dont get b****ed everywhere they go

hey

Or Lupe 🤷🏿‍♂️

rockstar made

One of those contemporary jazz people who sells a million albums of Christmas music and tours House of Blues and NPR tiny desk. Gary Clarke Jr isn't getting into beefs and Twitter spats. Harry Connick Jr is the highest selling jazz artist. No drama

Def famous rap star

Both

would rather be an indie bedroom pop critic darling tbh

Trapstar 4 lyfe!!

rock star, because rock fans actually respect and admire their legends

hip hop fans s*** on you for literally anything and everything

Whatever brings me less drama and more artistic freedom

Both at the same time like Lil Wayne.

shadow wizard money gang

True but, at the same time, the older rappers are lowkey getting the last laugh.

Nas and Wu Tang sold out arenas. 50 sold out arenas. Em and Ye are still dominating streaming. MF Doom is getting tons of vinyl sales postmortem. Pac and Biggie are still charting on Billboard after being dead for close to 30 years.

Tik Tok has ironically made people appreciate past acts more even though you'll still encounter edgelords clowning "dusty" music or "oldheads."

what type of famous rap star?

street shade room famous or kit kat commercial in a bear suit famous?

rap star cuz you can get away with so much more performance wise. don't gotta worrya bout f***ing up. half these niggas got backing tracks hosting listening parties for big bucks

All the old rock bands/artists are still doing the same things the older rappers are doing and still dropping albums. Most of them still tour regularly and have been for a minute

That's true.

I was just saying that older rap legends are getting their flowers more and more these days.

I like Carti but some of the s*** he gets away with at his concerts would lead to a riot if he was a rockstar.

Artist who puts out a body of work undeniable enough to let me move on my time

Rockstar

other advantage of being a rock star is when ur 50 years old u can perform and people wont look at u like a f***ing orangutans d***
