Could Bobby Shmurda be 2014 Trinidad James?

[SHAQAVELLI]

Let me first say: I do like Bobby Shmurda and I hope his career continues to thrive ... and also, I don't think Trinidad James' career is "over," but it has certainly cooled off.

Hott Nikka and Shmoney Dance = All Gold Everything

Armchair A&Rs, let me ask you, how does Bobby Shmurda turn a street buzz -- as well as a viral/urban radio buzz -- into a career? (As opposed to Trinidad James signing a deal but still not dropping an album, nor dropping a follow-up single)

To be fair, Bobby Shmurda is pretty much nothing more than the NYC Chief Keef......

Do you really even have to ask at this point

Let him and get his money though

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

I think the way he got hot, is probably going to mean he's gonna be gone soon...

 

[One Of The Greats]

I don't think he's capable of anything more. Let's be honest...

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

the only way he will remain relevant, is if he goes national. breh could make guap in the south, especially if he happened to link with either rich gang or dj drama

Who is Que — and is this the answer to my question?

EDIT: Ca$h out is a very fair comparison, given where Bobby is at right now.

 

[up in here]

Nah, heres a few differences that will work in his favor

1. He's young
2. He's from NY
3. He has a crew
4. He isn't gay (as far as we know)
5. People don't think he is a parody rapper

As someone said in a different thread, hes only famous because of his dances not his music. Those songs wouldnt be hot without the videos attached to them. Im glad hes making money but i dont see him lasting. Trinidad james was actually getting radio play, they have never played "hot nikka" or "schmoney dance" once on the radio in the bay..

 

[Zebruh]

The song is hot but the shmoney dance is clearly his bread and butter right now.

Keef is nowhere near a one hit wonder , his music still gets played

 

[obarth]

The nikka is "hot" off an Instagram meme. Are we seriously wondering if dude is gonna have a successful music career?

Kermit and Daquan will still be more popular than dude by the time Labor Day comes around

What are you smoking? Love Sosa and maybe I don't like but that's it. I don't even Know any other keef songs or anybody who listens to him like that.
