Def Jam is REALLY fukkin up nowadays.

The problem is they signed WAAAY too many nikkas in the past two years. When you got artists like Kanye,Rhianna,Justin Beiber,Avicii,Mariah Carey. How are you suppose to all Thocate resources to the mid level stars?

Alot of nikkas get overlooked over in that building.
The urban market is dead breh

15 years ago a nikka like Tity Boi would go plat just for being on TV

Didnt Yeazle only do like 150 this time? They are smart to not invest in shyt thats not gonna sell. I don't think promotion is the problem

shyt is going back to the essence breh. Look how big battle rap is getting. Pretty much any non corporate rapper is doing it for not much more than the love. Rap not being a source of income is the best thing that can happen to it.

I mean you know who gave us like 2 decades worth of tropical storms for fukking free... dudes like that are rare.... but then w/all the bullshyt gone they will be way easier to find. I fukk with it. This is a much needed reset. W/these 720 deals who gives a shyt about sales anyway.

And Im not even on some "boom bap renaissance" bullshyt... but politics mean less and less these days... people are starting to demand more musically. I love it :noah:
