Benny and Conway need to stop thinking they’re bigger than the program and just let Gunn curate their projects

I agree.

But Machine does better than Benny, away from Gunn. He can still get his production where it needs to be, and keep sh*t on par with his older projects. I don’t know WTF Benny is doing anymore. It's not like he lost his skills, but his direction is lost right now.

Feels like Benny just wants to build bsf by handing out 5k chains.

Problem is, nobody cares about no damn BSF.

He needs to focus more on building his own legacy. The run wasn't that long.

Another example of Hov fanfic ruining modern rap shyt. Just like with people "not writing rhymes," the obsession with becoming business men or starting labels has hurt rap. Doing something just because another man did it is wack. If it doesn't fit you or you don't have a reason to do it...don't do it lol.

Virtually everything Benny has done since Tana Talk 3 has been the wrong move IMO....

people just looking at it from a consumered out perspective. it could be other reasons to sign artists.... tax incentives (business expenses), personal incentives (give his friends something to do professionally), etc.
just because he is an artist doesn't mean all his moves are about entertaining yall. get over yourselves lol

Boldy is officially the best rapper on Griselda now? :jbhmm:
Him and Rome, yes. Gunn's been consistent with good projects. Idk wtf Conway doing, he's pretty much dropped two projects in the last 2 years both were extremely underwhelming. Benny been playing too many away games, instead of sticking to the script.

Enjoying this. The Daringer beat is nuts, and the Styles feature is dope. The album title and art is random as hell though. They should have leaned into that, at least it would have given it a USP.
