A-Boogie scores fourth Gold plaque

[Awesome Wells]

He has legitimate Gold records people listen to and love these songs. Get with the times its a different generation music is digested different.

Nah, you're right. I don't think anyone has a problem with how the music is being digested. New formats are a good thing. But the industry had to change how they issued plaques because people stopped buying records. So instead of reaping the benefits and the monetary pay of actually selling records, artists have been forced to rely on streaming as their way to gauge their music's activity. Nobody has a problem with streaming, we all use those services. But we all know these plaques mean a lot less than they used to. The artists that are actually selling 500,000 are in an entirely different league than those just streaming those numbers. Formats have changed, but where you are in your career based on what you actually sell, hasn't at all. Trust me.

Think about this, an artist makes around $0.005 per play on streaming services. So if their joint gets played 500,000 times, they're not even pocketing 3 grand. But they're giving them plaques.

He can spit, though. Check out Bag on Me, Not A Regular Person, 99 Messages .

I can get not liking the singing/rapping, but he blends both well imo.

Don't feel bad breh.

Neither has the rest of the world outside of NY (besides Drowning).

More fake plaques so these rappers can try and compare themselves to the rappers from past eras.

you were talking about organic movements in that "Westside/Conway torch" thread.

look no further than HighBridge..Boogie and Don Q.
they've got most organic movement in their city since a certain set of flashy troublemakers from Harlem were around.

150 song streams = 1 sale (song).
The plaque shows reach. People dont buy music anymore because of technology not because they listen less.
