Because music ain't about talent.....It's about image. Talent is secondary. Ty doesn't relate that well. The fact that he can make hits is a testament to how good he really is.

There's nothing that separates him from the pack from a fans perspective. Singing about the same things as everyone else, vocally isn't a notch above anyone.

great answer

also feels like every song is the same, at least to me

he does got some jammers but if you hear him at the start of the track, you already know what youre in for, so its either gonna a superb or forgettable song about:

molly, fake butts, something about hotels and clubs

In a lot of his more prominent features, he doesn't add anything to the track or is relegated to doing the bridge at the end of the song . example is love you better.
Pull up on your girl with my roof gone
I'mma pull up on your girl with my jewels on
Pull up on your girl with that heat on
And she ain't know if it's a Dolla or a Dream song
First I beat it from the back, she on top now
She used to wanna leave, but she not now
She used to wanna be with you, but, not now
It's kinda funny how she put herself on lockdown
And now you talkin' that blah-blah-blah
I'm up here ballin' that la-la-la
Gave it to her, made her scream, "Da-da-da"
And now you wanna act all rah-rah-rah rah-rah-rah

Or on Meeks mills song


What makes you think that I would try to run a game on you?
Just as sure as my name is Dolla
I'll be there for you and I'll
Treat you just like a queen and give you fine things
You'll never have to worry 'bout another in your place
So believe me when I say
Or

big seans play no games

Bridge: Ty Dolla $ign]
I've been waiting on that ass all night though
Girl, don't keep me waiting no more
Yeah, yeah, it's true
Got some things I wanna do to you, baby, oh
Ooh yeah!

good post breh, its a legit point too.

like when travis scott is on other peoples joints, it still usually becomes a travis scott joint. people want his sound, his brand

i think people hit up Thanks so much for the same reason, but his sound and brand isnt as noteworthy maybe:jbhmm:

i know his vibe is like chillin with hoes in cabanas and shyt, but maybe he needs that extra something to hammer it home?

i dunno

him and dave east gotta pow wow and figure something out

I disagree, his song writing is better then most artist today for sure and that's what he is great at.

I think the problem is people just don't appreciate that now a days.
nah, he's just a "more on" eric bellinger, tee flii, and swear it's a couple other ratchet singin ass LA dudes.

and while chicks like his hooks, i don't think many women are into him cuz his content. like i said, it's too vulgar/#HOH then add to the fact he's not good looking (like someone sexy might get a pass/support from women with his content, but not when you look like a lizard). i see yall dudes give him more accolades than anyone, but as we know, yall aint the ones who really put $$ into r&b.

because he's a generic HOH vulgar singer who rips off songs from the 90's :ld:

What hit he made for someone else? A hit as in a top 10 record.

Probably the joint he did with Fifth Harmony is the only one and that song is whack.


But they didn't chart.

He even dropped this which I thought would have made some noise :jbhmm:



His album was fire though.



Or Nah peaked at 48, Blase peaked at 68 and was overrated and Paranoid by B.O.B. peaked at 29.

He has no top 10's which I think he should have.

:dwillhuh:
