Grip Secures Eminem Feature For Shady Debut Album

[Guvnor]

I hope all his songs don't sound like this cause I had to cut it off. The vocal effects were applied so heavily on his vocals its annoying.

Another dude that’s gonna be complaining about signing to Shady in the next year or so

 

[TheDarceKnight]

They performed at the BET awards. That’s as mainstream they will get like Tyler. That song Scattered Brain by Con ft JID and Luda is dope. I want a nice balance of modern and throwback production from Griselda. I say this as a younger fan who loves and appreciates the golden era too as much as today’s production.

I don’t disagree with any of this

I think Griselda is just fine. Benny and Conway are each breaking out in their own ways (Benny with the albums with Hit-Boy and Harry Fraud; Conway with the shift in production as well as rapping with JID and other non-goon rappers), and they're doing great.

They'll never be mainstream in the way that Drake or Kendrick are mainstream, but they also aren't aspiring to that.

I think trying to step outside their lane more at a more drastic pace than what they've been doing would be trying too hard, and would definitely alienate their fan base. Hell, they've already made moves that have annoyed a few of their extra super crusty boom bap or die fans.

Conway and WSG, more so the latter has complained about folks not buying his music. I would hazard a guess that they want to be bigger than they are.

Modern production is just too overproduced and does not fit Griselda at all. They brought back the rugged more simplified beats from Daringer. I really hope they never venture too far from that original sound of Griselda.

They can pull it off.

I personally don’t like Conway on a track like this

 

[dubsmith_nz]

I mean he isn't wrong

Most people thought the Eminem feature was the worst part of Everything's for Sale

Yet its by far the most streamed thing Boogie ever did

 

[dubsmith_nz]

Griselda is in exactly the lane they aimed to be in & they shouldn’t change a thing. Not everybody aspires to be a superstar of the mainstream variety. That would totally compromise their sound and movement.

That'd be fine and all if WSG didn't act like he was a superstar though .

Son is a diva who can't play his position. I gotta respect Benny for building his own brand outside of the label. If any of them can make it, it'll be him.

 

[dubsmith_nz]

Conway was never signed to Shady as an artist. He has a distribution deal and not a label deal.

But definitely almost everyone that has had label deals with Shady has ended up with not much to show for it.

Yelawolf actually had some decent success which was surprising. Gold album plus a Gold single and 2 Platinum singles.

His music fell off a cliff once he got to Shady though

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Listened to a couple songs from here, and there’s some that I can rock with, and others that I’ll never listen to again. He’s in the Reason/Isaiah Rashad lane where he can build a cult type following. Not a fan of some of his Kendrick-sounding raps.

 

[Hersh]

he's jid lemar

i changed my mind.. it's Joyner Jid Lucas
