fukk all that.

Who makes better music?



vs



I...

I kinda get how some people can not like kendrick due to his voice.

Not to say A boogie with the hoodie sounds like kendrick or has bad bars. It's just his voice got me on some :huhldup:. I can't tell if its auto tune or not which is fukkin weird because i can listen to Kendrick or migos just fine.

Why would anyone listen to Joey Badass when the old 90s songs he wants to remake are better? Like why put his music on instead of Tribe or Mobb Deep?

Joey Badass biggest issue is in order to be "The Man" you gotta be able to make club bangers. He can't. He can make really popular songs for his niche audience and a song like Devasted had crossover appeal but you can't be "that guy" unless everybody is fukking with you.That's probably his only defining song you can point to, that non-fans and more casual listeners will know.

Joey came in on some 90s boom bap shyt, then switched his style to modernize it, but he still doesn't have those songs that all nikkas bump.

He's still getting a shytload of money, so it shouldn't matter. Being the "King" or whatever don't mean shyt in 2018. He's doing great for himself
Exactly.

Why can’t he just get money in his lane and be happy :snoop:

Always feels the need to do corny shyt on the net :why:

People are so eager to believe that rappers buying lambos, living in mansions, leasing 5 different whips, buying stupid jewelry for stupid money and Audemars like it's Casios make janitor money. I don't understand that.

We're talking about a dude who is doing pretty well in the industry and has a indie distribution deal, no major recoup, no major split, has a stan base and on. Now I don't know if he has other investors, managers that he has to break that bread with though.

And for all we know he might get paid quarterly. I remember Daz showed receipts of 200 racks coming in from Royalties from the 20 years ago and shyt, and that was "from the past 90 days".

Well he gets to educate and substantiate why he is king of NY which is why he said this. He feels he should be in the King of NY convo.

He should've stayed on this wave


alot of his fans didn't like when he jumped on these tracks

he doesn't want to be pigeonholed as some griselda records rappity rap guy bu
but he does have a black fanbase, i've been to two of his shows and blacks was represented

arguably he had one of the best albums of last year too

I dont believe him one single bit about ghostwriting :duck:. That dyke chick Starrah probably wrote Rockstar like she wrote damn near every big song the past year or so. :hubie:. 250k for ghostwriting from someone who cant even write himself a hit record :russ:

Joey Sadass is a not making 100k from features :camby: :usure::mjlol:, who the fukk would pay him more than 1500 for a verse? I've never heard a Joey feature at all :deadmanny:



I fukk with his character on Mr. Robot though:ehh:
I can see a Joey verse easily costing you $10k-$20k racks (and that's on the low-end). $1500? nikka I know local rappers around me that you've probably never heard of that probably get that for a feature.

You won't hear these features because it be random ass artists that will never blow up like this that pay for them:



When Boosie goes to shows from city to city he does a ton of features for those local artists for a lowish 5-figure amount. 95% of those songs you'll never hear. Doesn't mean he isn't making $10-$30k for them.
