y'all need to stop

the modern music making process does not depend on budgets just relationships

recording is not behind a paywall anymore not even for professional standards.

neither are beats or singers and collaborators

all the points you put up as barriers are completely outdated. dude could buy a beat for 20 dollars that sound better than that and get it all mastered with AI software. this ain't back in the day. budgets or lack of are not barriers to quality music TODAY. nobody that knows the process today would excuse dropping that. not even for a rookie
and those relationships go away if people cant benefit from you.
ala Baby being cancelled.

if you think Rhianna and Beyonce dont constantly have hit songs because they're given them I dont know what to say.

they're working a formula that uses the hot people of the time.

you lose producers, engineers, hook writers, etc...

Drake w/o Drakes industry backing would not be the Drake we know.
being in the studio by yourself is a lot different than having the best of everything at your disposal
This.

This sounds like a song done....by himself, or with much lesser talent around him than previously.

Karma on how he was moving, should have moved more humbly. The straw that broke the camels back was how he treated his latest baby mama.:scust:
I thought it was him murdering people....

Here a real good beat:

Im not particularly a fan but it seems he was too outspoken to keep a machine behind him. If he advocated taking the v a x or opted to wear a dress and make up, the machine would get back behind him & be all over the radio & back in the spotlight again.
You’re talking like he wasn’t walking around wearing a diaper

Brother you not getting the point. He's not flopping because he has no high profile features and you don't need a label to network with other artists or get a hook or beat or verse today that is up to par. This hasn't been the case in over 10 years.

With technology today there is very little barrier to making QUALITY music besides talent. That's reality.

Dababy didn't have hit songs because he was given them so you made an irrelevant point. He wasn't a pop singer crooning other people's songs :laff:

He came in with his own formula not "they" his own producers not "they". You dudes still think this is back in the day with that old industry talk. Budgets hampering recording n shyt. :duck:

His career collapse should expose these streaming “numbers” to those that use them as legitimate data.

breh even rappers use multiple people to make their music.

im talking beyond features...
...im talking crafting songs.

Labels will help you sound current and give you input on what you need to do.

Baby is on an island...
...he cant call anyone and he cant get label input.

its why Drake has an entire crew of people that make music with him.

Most rappers come and go because they initially have a sound that is on trend...
...but things change.
