Dave should give more of a stab at catering to his female fanbase.
he's got nothing to lose..nobody seemed to have bought his latest EP.

he's ran most of his content into the ground already, the replay value of his music keeps getting worse with each release post Hate Me Now..won't do him any harm to make a couple joints for the ladies to get dressed to and can engage a little bit at his shows while they wait to see if he'll pick them that night.

His female fanbase is overstated in the first place on the low. Just cuz the nikka did a song with Chris Brown and a few hood boogers like him cuz he lightskin dont neccessarily mean the nikka LL Cool J. I think street nikkas fukk with him more and we all know street nikkas dont buy shyt. He aint selling nothing for nikkas to attach to either. nikkas like Kendrick came on selling that "HiiiPower", being a part of this "woke" black persona. A nikka like Nipsey you connect with on some ambition/slow grind shyt which is everybody in life. Brah barrly popped with a NaS cosign and his CDs as a full are too inconsistent. He got potential but nikka need to take that next step.

Isn't a strong female fanbase the reason why he even does shows now?

The problem is they don't know his music at all.

He needs to find a way to appeal to them musically.

Touché. Bingo. Closed thread. Jk but you did hit the nail right on the head. They just know his face, they need to know his product which is music.

Lmao, “baby momma” fanbase. Dave East will never “blow up” because his entire career is directionless. Anytime he does something, you’re left wondering if he’s taking a step back or forward. Often the former.

As for content, nobody is rushing to hear him, because he’s like a living Rap Genius comment- just expulsonary bullshyt, with the same talking points and unnecessary arrogance. Everything he says leaves out the other ear, shoddy production, and horrible rollouts.

Looking back.... who's the last rapper that blew up with a majority female fanbase? Cole? (+ n1ggas were fukking with his actual raps) . maybe tory, bryson and PND if you wanna go into that trap RnB lane.

all these young cats in the last 2 years? i cant really say they needed to target females at all.
Male R&B and Pop acts usually target a female fanbase, so I don't understand why this need to be mentioned.

Lol @ dave east having a strong female fan base. Girls lusting after him and wanting to ride his face doesn't equal a fan. Just like y'all simp the shyt outta tinashe, clearly you're not buying the chick's music.
nikkas not going to tinashe shows neither tho.
If you pay to go to somebody show to see them you're a fan.
