Dom Kennedy: “I haven’t made any money from the music industry”

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

Get Home Safely was Dom Kennedy's last good album. The Half-A-Mil shyt with Hit-Boy was the definition of mid. When the first few songs dropped, people hyped it up because Dom was actually rapping somewhat on beat again. Even me, I was like "OK he still sounds like shyt but he's actually trying now". Looking back, those songs had zero replay value. I respect Hit-Boy for trying to coach Dom back to greatness and doing him a favor.

The weirdest shyt I see is Dom Kennedy fans acting like he hasn't been consistently dropping wack shyt for almost a decade just to downplay Larry June's success. They will argue all day about how good of an artist Dom is but when he drops new music it's fukking crickets. Nobody supports. Stop bringing up The Yellow Album and FTWSWL. I love those tapes too, but no. That Dom is gone. The new shyt with Tee-Fli was absolute trash. They've been talking about that since "Still Callin" came out and dropped a dud.

He arguably made all of his money off music too because that opened the doors for him to explore other business ventures. OPM merch is selling solely because of the music. "I haven't made no money off music so that's the reason why I can't rap on beat, keep dropping wack shyt and continue to do the absolute bare minimum." It's a bullshyt excuse for his poor output.

Rap n Roll was hard

Vol. 2 was hard



You gonna tell me this is trash right here?

Dom was one of my favorite artists to drop since '08.

Dude was consistent for a minute, but after 2016, the quality dropped crazily. He needs to get back with the original crew to cook up some of that greatest they used to. Once he got away from that sound and the people that helped build that with him, the music suffered. Just feels like he needs to get focused again.

I forgot we counting the half a mil album. That shyt was nice. I played the fukk out of it.

And the solo album “Volume 2” was one of my most played albums that year. Still go back to it now.

But there were a lot of misses in between the hits over the years.

This used to be my wake-up alarm.

Is Dom saying he never made money from shows? Did he not tour?

No, he isn’t saying he never made any money, he is saying he never made money from the industry, as in an advance, or a record label budget. His money was made from himself. That’s what he is saying. He never got paid from “the industry”

Larry June got his lane now.

Gotta agree.

I really think Dom would've been big if he didn't fukk with his flow after Get Home Safely.

I get Dom Kennedy, Casey Veggies, Larry June and Vince Staples mixed up until I see their names I just think of them all as the previous one I heard from

Vince isn't similar to the others.
