Bottom line....Its always the streets that have the final say so...Not blogs and messageboards.

his features get played with hood artists like Future, Wayne, Ross, etc.

nikka every drake song gets played

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Kanye is that you high again?

‘Drake’s momentum in the streets’
Street nikkaz think he’s a soft cornball and let him live because bishes love his shyt and happy hoez in the club is mo puzzy for them.

‘Azealia Banks is my favorite rapper from this decade.’
You are the only person to ever type those words

But yes Ye, the streets AND the girls ultimately decide

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Are you saying the streets aint bumping Drake? You really trying to say the hood dont bump Drake?

to be honest with u I don't see many grown ass men bumping Drake. Teens yeah. I don't see many grown folk out here listening to Hotline Bling and shyt

 

[smokeurobinson]

bro u right and wrong at the same time... it's a big planet... MF DOOM and Madlib arent "Street" artist. Their target aint the streets... so its not a "final" say type of thing.
i dont think that applies there. They are more for underground rap...Madlib commands 50 to 100k a show. He didnt need the streets to that. Fabolous plays in the streets all summer but he cant tour globally like MF Doom.

It's just different sections of Hip Hop.

Azealia never wanted to be an urban artist, so she got what she wanted at the end of the day.

yes..Madlib and MF Doom are "underground" but I was only using them as an example of whats popping on messageboards/blogs compared to whats actually popping in the streets.

I don't see where you finding all these MF Doom posts at. Where is this shyt poppin because it ain't on here. You talkin all this messageboard shyt if these underground artists release a new project the shyt will have what 2 pages worth of posts?

but the popular acts have 100+ pages so how is this board not a reflection of what u describe as "real life"?

Youve never been at a stop light and heard adults bumping someone who makes popular R&B music?

I'm gonna stop talking to you now because now u just saying bullshyt

Phonte thread has 426 replies

Phonte - No News Is Good News (DIscussion Thread)
All of this is right on the front page yet here u are saying u dont see it. SMH.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

to be honest.. theres no such thing as "true buzz" anymore..

every person who supposedly had "true buzz", where in line with all the blogs/messageboards.. them days of putting out a mixtape, are far gone..

well, yeah, it'smore of a mix now with streets + blog/messageboards/youtube but I still would put the streets as the biggest factor in the mix

 

[semicko82]

Hip-hop came from the streets, and would be next to nothing without the streets. How do you gloss over such an obvious connection?

I slipped up my bad.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

I never understood why a grown man would need to get validation from the street

streets = the common man/people

 

[laughslikebig]

yes..Madlib and MF Doom are "underground" but I was only using them as an example of whats popping on messageboards/blogs compared to whats actually popping in the streets.

they not a very good example tho, thats my point. they are knowingly message board and underground rappers.

I think a better example is Westside Gunn, Roc Marciano or some shyt like that. Because they are street artist who the streets dont listen too.
I just was in the King Of New York thread arguing with someone who couldnt understand why Benny isnt hotter than A Boogie.

In Doom's case I dont think anybody with common sense would feel like he should be "hot in the streets". U see what im saying. Like ofcourse he isnt cause thats not what hes even going for.

I don't get what your saying, if thats not what ur saying.

Like whats ur point...

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I'm gonna stop talking to you now

You need to update your settings then. That's not a lot of replies at all. 200 replies is a lot? compared to what drake, kendrick, j. cole threads do?

Basically u saying u agree but that Madlib and MF Doom aren't the best examples and Westside Gunn and Roc Marciano are better examples.

Fine then...add Westside Gunn and Roc Marciano to the examples.
