Benny the Butcher isn't happy about ticket sale numbers

[Toe Jay Simpson]

This is what happens when you dont want to put on the Prince pants breh.

I respect your decision, but everybody cant be Kendrick Lamar

 

[King Sun]

Make more accessible music.

not trying to hear that

 

[Hood Critic]

But who knew after crack you'd still be grossing a mil yearly though right?

Dope ain't selling, you not going to blame the dope.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Why would you want to go to a concert to hear hours worth of beats with no drums at all?
Just nikkas screaming over raw samples and shyt.

yelling DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT while dapping breh next to you

I got a quick question for other rap fans on here. If a rapper like Benny dropped 2 albums at separate times 1 for their core audience and 1 for commercial will you guys say they sold out?

Me personally no. I do see how it would turn some fans off though. The albums sound more cohesive if they separate that stuff but it allows them to eat well and make the music they want to make. I know back in the day they'd have the radio songs on the album and put out stuff for their core base on mixtapes. With mixtapes being non existant they don't really have a choice and probably don't want to get abandoned by the fan base they work hard to get by going commercial/selling out.

It's really tough because the commercial rappers aren't hiring guys like Benny to spit a verse on their singles like they used to get Kiss, or Bun to do.

i cant stand when artists guilt trip their fanbase. although one day i was talking to some bummy dudes and all they do is pirate music. im like damn you can't even download pandora?

 

[King Sun]

The problem they have is that drop too much music and rush projects. Gunn said it usually takes a day to make an album

Does he even have a tour he might be advocating for other artists but then again he might be bytching.

Ok ok so it makes sense. Somebody should tell him instead of complaining...I'm a fan and I didn't even know. I listen to "Did I" "recent mood" every other day but I didn't know y'all had a fukking tour. BUT even with the critique of their tour promotion this makes sense in the way that I'm now going to go look and see if they come close to me. Griselda shoulda been came to Albany we're right here.

 

[u mad son?]

He aint got that tour appeal yet

Gibbs touched London a month ago and, even tho it was a small area, like 3k, that shyt was sold out and the vibe was crazy.

He needs to branch out same way Gibbs did ... collab with Alc or Madlib or some shyt and gather attention for the hip hop nerds.

 

[Fortunate Lee]

You can't make people go to your concerts because of online props. Just be happy that rap made you a millionaire and shut the hell up

artists of the 90's and 00's would love these times.

You ain't lying about that. Alfredo and Bandana are some of his strongest projects. I do think part of the problem is their production even though I personally enjoy it. They work with producers who clearly aren't interested in programming any semblance of a drum or percussion lmao.

Almost like making regressive throwback music and not evolving with the market puts you in a small bubble, makes it hard to gain new fans, and makes the departure of existing fans really hit your pockets hard. Who could have possibly predicted this....
