NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
HHID and Untitled, back to back. Is there one song on either album that made an impact or is remembered today? I don’t have any issue with the ideas behind the albums...the problem was the execution and consistency with the concepts. Each has multiple songs I like. But as albums they both feel scatter shot and inconsistent.
I can see that opinion about HHID even tho I like that album. But Untitled is not scatter shot at all. It’s prolly his most consistently themed album in his entire career. fukk is u talkin bout fam? Lol

And did virtually nothing with him. Now he’s having a great year elsewhere and selling out vinyl stocks.

No disrespect but Mass Appeal doesn’t have any artists who matter or are bubbling in the ways I was talking about. I’m talking about keeping your pulse on what’s happening, signing people based off that, etc. Griselda’s movement, Mach’s weird underground success via vinyl, signing Cole, etc. I’d expect those types of moves from someone who has “run” a label before and currently runs a major management company. I view Nas as an artist, he’s not keeping the pulse of things because it’s not his job. This is not a criticism.

Mass Appeal from what I see also doesnt sign artist but lets them distribute one or two albums under them. They're part media production, part label. Boldy James has released albums with them and on his own or other labels in between. On their wiki and site hes still a current artist but hes allowed to go outside and do his own thing.
