Dave East needs a PR person, he doesn’t know how to handle shyt
- Thread starter FreshAIG
- Start date
Now I don't know if they announced the time that he was gonna play or if she even asked, so I can't really say if it was a stupid question or a fugazi move by East. But one thing is sure, to expose your fan who paid money to see you on your Twitter for just saying "Show started at 7, Dave East isn't out yet". Didn't even diss him or say anything bad about him, that's some straight hoe shyt. A young girl at that.
Just adds to my limited impression of him, 30 year old square but wants to act like a 22 year old tough guy.

I see all these corny opinions posted as fact shyt is extra LameLabels can't be that stupid,women dont want to hear or buy that crap Dave East is selling. Fabolous was better at Dave East than Dave East and we all know what his ceiling was.Dave East is no Fabolous by the way,but he cornered that market and still didnt become a mega star. What can Dave do when hes not a fraction of the rapper,and can't make those smash hits for the ladies that nikkas fukk with too?he better find another lane,should've milked that Nas cosign for everything it was worth. Should have been rapping about Egyptian papyrus and the nile river,like nobodys business.
He couldve been a superstar if he pandered to a "woke" audience like J Cole did. Remember when he was some goofy child making remakes of Paula Abdul songs
.Cole isnt much better than East,plus had a better cosign than Cole,to pander in that lane.Guess you have to respect him for keeping it honest though

Comparing J. Cole to Dave East, man shut the fukk up, you sound dumb as fukk right now. J. Cole isn't pandering. He was rapping like this since he was 16-17 way before this whole "woke" era. It is not pandering if it comes natural to him. Dave East doesn't have bars like Cole and isn't half the lyricist J. Cole is.

is this a troll postIt’s one area in rap that has exploded contra back in the days, your thought process is inverted.Who the fukk pays money to see rappers live? This ain't the late 80's.
Your a liar plain and simple. Cole was rapping about being the underdog wanting to be heard,who came from humble beginnings but wasn't a street nikka,just a regular joe trying to make it.
You think we forgot those goofball rhymes,cadences and delivery he came in with?He's come a long way.
You got emotional because I used the word pandering. I don't trust any of these nikkas,I just seen J Cole doing a interview with a white supremacist(Jumper) so he's in the same boat. I question these nikkas substance if they ever had to go in depth on issues related to black people. J Cole could have evolved,or he could be one of many reactionary,in the moment "woke" people on twitter. Hey,I have nothing against his message regardless,whether he's authentic or not is up in the air. I just know what he was and what he is,which is what your lying through your teeth about if you don't see a difference.
And J Cole is slightly better,but not a mind blowing talent. Which is the whole point,you can be a average talent in that lane and still recieve support. Which is why Dave East should be in that lane,with a Nas cosign he was a sure thing.

Good points all around. Cole started out obsessing over finding pop rap singles, which is what Hov demanded of him. But despite that Cole's albums never sounded like typical "rapper circa [insert year]" albums. He had his own personality and production vibe. Granted I was not a fan of Cole's early albums but clearly they reached the intended audience.
East is too busy chasing hits, and his albums basically become a collection of tracks that didn't work out as intended. So you get lots of generic trap beat anthems with a few album cuts (storytelling) mixed in. The result is a bland album. He needs someone to help guide him on how to make an album, but he doesn't seem to have a competent team. I love Nas but artist development isn't his strong suit.
I don't want it to sound like I'm a complete hater: I don't like him but fully recognize he could and SHOULD be bigger than he is, with the right team giving him the right tracks.
Pander to a woke audience? So sir tell me, in 2010 when he came through, when Jay forces him to do songs with Beyoncé and Rihanna or now in 2018. Is being woke what gets you gold in first week?He couldve been a superstar if he pandered to a "woke" audience like J Cole did.

Why are are most of them starving?
And why is going from woke to the opposite often called selling out? Shouldn’t it be the opposite? Pandering. Listen to Coles first mixtape or especially his breakthrough tape with first hit being Lights Please. Other big songs being I get up and Dollar and a Dream 2. I don’t even like Cole that much anymore but I did back then, and comparing these two artists is just weird. I don’t even know why his name is mentioned.
Coles big things is that he is versatile and that he raps about shyt a lot of people can relate to along with having a relatable come up. He could drop the songs for the clubs, rap about broads with Drake, woke shyt, radio songs with Miguel and just straight spitter shyt. Along with having the correct co-signs to spread his shyt and have people give him a chance. Where you have to consider his execution, voice, production and a lot more.
Not cause he “panders to a woke crowd”. Smh. That bs ass analysis can be made about everyone, Curry was the mvp cause he shoots a lot of 3s.
