Grip Secures Eminem Feature For Shady Debut Album

[Tetris v2.0]

Dude sounds dope, but signing to Shady in 2021 seems like a waste. Only dude who got an actual push was Obie Trice back in 03

griselda was never going to sell units. Their music is outdated and not marketable. Their best bet is to get a drake stimulus for like 1000 more fans and to hop on other people's shyt like travis which is what gunn is doing. They won't ever go gold or have a hit but their presence will be felt because other artists will adopt some of their shyt. Idk who this nikka is. He's trash. People gotta stop blaming Em for everything tho. Yall think talent is there but don't know what the average rap fan wants to hear. Nobody wanna hear a 40 year old rapper rap about coke like pusha t if they aint been here for 10-15 years.

Still mad Eminem ruined that Conway track Bang. Conway went in so hard over that beat and then Em just ruins it with his bullshyt verse. Shoulda just threw Benny on there and called it a day

One of our Coli brothers confirmed that it’s Conways most streamed song on Spotify, so the verse served it’s purpose.

This is exactly what I’ve said every time this subject is discussed. Griselda appeal to a niche market. If they ever want to break out of that, the need to work with artists that can give them mainstream appeal.

They even shot themselves in the foot by disrespecting Eminem and his fans, and you know the latter are loyal and would support anything associated to Eminem.

Em gave SH a cee-lo feature (when he was a popstar) over a just blaze beat and they still couldn’t sell

So whose fault is that?

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.

Do you see the way conducts his business with artists? He signs them then doesn't do shyt to help them. We've see it with Slaughterhouse, Stat Quo, Cashis, Bobby Creekwater, etc. etc. Now he was doing the same with Griselda. They were upset and didn't hold back. You want them to kiss his ass while he makes them collect dust on the label so they are no longer useful? They are already older artists, they can't wait forever.

It’s bizarre that your hatred requires the same thing to repeated to you regarding Griseldas label deal. What exactly are they doing now post Shady? Have any of them had a number one album? Yes they have been photographed with other rappers and WSG has the store in Buffalo. However, what are they really doing?

Your lack of understanding about the kind of label Shady is let’s you down and you fall short in these kind of arguments. In my opinion you should do some research before you comment.

Anyway…



GRIP adds, “It was one of those full circle moments because I grew up on Eminem so to have him reach out and let me know how dope my shyt is was so cool. Excited to partner with Shady/Interscope and get the music out on a larger platform.” GRIP’s upcoming LP will serve as a breathtaking introduction to those just learning about the emcee and a reminder for existing fans that the musician doesn’t fit a cookie cutter sound…which is just the way he likes it.

That’s fine if they want to stay in their lane,, but the narrative that Shady stopped them from reaching mainstream is completely false.
In my opinion they should be wondering what their management Roc Nation is doing.

I don’t know what sort of mainstream success you could expect from Griselda? What they have really done is start to help reshape the sound of the underground in the past few years. They intended to bring that rugged grimy sound back & have really done a tremendous job with that. WWCD doesn’t sound at all like an album that was intended for the mainstream masses to blow up. That was crafted with the purpose that they absolutely will not compromise their sound ever.

They have a niche market. I personally am not expecting anything, or said I’m expecting anything. My point is the assumption here is that Shady records(they signed a distribution deal and were able to release music outside of Shady) held them back in some way. Based on your ideology, it doesn’t really matter where they sign to, the outcome and record sales will still be the same. Unfortunately that is a concept that people don’t want to understand.

Out of curiosity, where do you think he should sign to?

Benny seems to being quite alright and he doesn’t have a major deal nor does he need one.
