Y’all hate this kid so much for what lol

I don’t hate him

he’s just not special & I’m okay with saying that

they not turnt

Even if there 7mil ppl a song could still get more than 7m plays obviously. Most ppl don't listen to a song once
Very obvious but I'm always seeing videos or songs with X amount of plays and ppl say wow X amount of ppl have seen this. No it's probably not even half that

Yeat is the 🐐

Crazy that him and carti haven’t even been nominated for a Grammy yet

deserved one of the most progressive artists sonically

out the way doesn’t even sound real

Can’t be true.

KTT said he’d be left in 2021.

not a hipster nerd take at all, it's 100% true

i dont think only generational talents deserve streams or love, but Yeat is a perfect example of this era, there is also something VERY wrong with how these niggas consume music

His music is fire though lol

Y’all are talking like he’s some struggle meme artists. He makes good music

ye he makes cool stuff

you can agree with what the other dude said + acknowledge that yeat makes cool stuff

But I’m saying how is what he’s saying relevant? Yeat being popular is some indictment on the current generation or capitalism?

new music streams more than old music and Yeat has dropped 3 albums this year
last time Travis dropped solo music was before the astroworld fest disaster
its just been miscellaneous features since then
Carti also hasn't released music since WLR, 2 years ago

if Yeat is a perfect example of how young people this generation consume music then it should be no surprise for him to outperform older artists that are dead or don't release music as nearly the same pace

could you be more specific about what exactly is wrong with how you think people consume music?

if you aint on the yeat bandwagon at this point you are beyond saving

im not one of these armchair communist dudes so i dont tie everything to capitalism in a vacuum

i just think over the course of the years that the internet + streaming in tandem have combined together to make music/art in general more of a product than anything before, it's also encouraged shallow listening, skimming, algorithm-fed listeners

why spend a lot of effort + perfecting your music, when you can gear a song to have some form of TikTok virality, and that's what pops off at that too?

it's partially the reason why releases don't feel as big, why there's no clear-cut superstars, (im pretty on the fence as to whether or not that's a bad thing honestly) and why other artists load a s*** ton of tracks on their albums in hopes to run up streams above all else, because physical mediums are essentially dead (in comparison to streaming) etc.

it's a pretty loaded issue in all honesty, i dont think it's all doom and gloom and that music is s*** nowadays, i just think that it's pretty insane to see how much music has changed from consuming and how it's made onwards

well yeah im not surprised at all, im just agreeing with that user's sentiment that yeat is emblematic of the way this era consumes music

his music isn't s***, he makes fun and catchy stuff, that seems to be what people want

Yup.

Yeat changed the entire soundscape and will be the most influential artist of this decade

Real music, none of that kid s*** pulling up

but when ASAP Rocky had a song dedicated to wine yall called it art
