Dave East – Couple Reasons I’m Popular

 

[NotaPAWG]

Dave East gonna oversaturare himself before he even really gets on

Anyways his voice sounds pretty similar to Guru on this track. Or at least in the beginning

Song is good, beat is nice but nothing special. East is missing something I can't put my finger on it.

shyt trash but i hope he wins

Dude is EXTREMELY talented but sadly his brand of rap isnt conducive to mainstream appeal. He won't "blow" as in becoming a household name but as long as he can pay his bills off of his talent and smash IG models I'm sure he couldn't care less

 

[HipHopFeeling]

He does have memorable lines in most tracks though, thats why I fukk with him mos

'my cousins sold coke since Jeru the Damaja'

'Got a bytch from the projects sayin she wanna model
I know a couple photographers, if you wanna swallow
Closed mouths don't get fed baby, you know the motto'

'I'm really startin' to feel like a father figure
And I ain' talkin' Kyrie, my sneakerss Y-3'

Song isn't really him at his best. He's better with the harder tracks.

He's a talented dude. I hear the "something's missing" thing a lot, and I can see why. He's covered being able to rap, but I think what holds him back is maybe he hasn't done anything that really stands out. I dug the first couple of mixtapes, but I can't say I heard anything on them that wow'd me. He doesn't need to go mainstream. That shouldn't be a goal for any MC. If you happen to, great. But that doesn't make or break a career.

I think he does need to start making more memorable shyt that would stand out. A lot of his joints come off on the generic side at times. He needs to carve his own lane and do something that sets him apart from what everyone else is doing. That should be the goal.

this, but than again, most of the shyt he dropped are Eastmixes etc.
If he drops a more polished album, with decent hooks, a couple of dope guests, I think he'll be good.

I don't think he's gonna blow up like Cole, Kendrick or even Badass, anything remotely close to that though, he's 10 years too late for that. But he can be a good solid NY act for the future, was well needed too

Subject matter/versatility.

Every record is the same shyt. Brag raps and street talk but he can't do it like the nikkas from the classic NYC era.

I actually like this. It's a change of pace form what he usually does.
