The gentrification of hip-hop continues...

10s is looking to be the wackest f*cking decade in hip-hop ever.

People on this board can't understand why rappers they don't like are popular, so they label them "plants" and it's just lazy, stupid thinking.

The reality is, we live in a world where niche entertainment rules. TV shows, rappers, YouTubers, etc. all find a niche audience these days, thanks to the Internet. There are on people on YouTube who you've never heard of and just seem AWFUL but they have a real audience of people who love them and they make a living making fukking YouTube videos. And no, it's not fake, and they aren't "Plants," just because you don't like it.

It's the same thing with rappers. This is the world we live in. Wake up and look around. It's about growing a community of loyal fans. Look at Mac Mlller, for Christ's sakes. A guy like G-Easy can get big numbers from his big base, because they care. He's new and represents them. Everyone just bytched and whined about Ab-Soul's album. Ab-Soul fans whined and complained and said "Mehhhhh, not good enough!!! Mehhhh!" Meanwhile, G-Eazy bought his albums in droves and masturbated the whole time. G-Eazy fans SUPPORT THEIR ARTIST.

No, G-Eazy, and Chance and _____ are not fukking plants. There is no such thing as plants. The real plants are idiots who think there are plants.

Sincerely,

A person who never never heard of G-Eazy until this week, and thinks he sucks.

man miss me with this shyt.

This guy has no real fans.

He is a media creation and nothing more.

People wanna front like "oh I was with you from the start"

no they weren't. This dude literally came out of no where. Even people who claimed to know him didm' admit until recently trying to "show love"

this too


and in this forum


strangely enough

truth. funny how you can hear of someone within a week and they are blowing up the charts...

 

[Yaboysix]

this nikka bet not blow up...all the ill white rappers out here .

 

[labelplant]

I hate mac miller as much as the next guy. I thought that when he dropped his last album he was trying too hard to bite tde and be a "critically acclaimed" artist. However this new mixtape he got "Faces" is in the same vein as that last album but actually sounds genuine and creative. He's rapping better than ever also. So I give mac props for going hard right now and at least jockin Kendrick and them if he's gonna bite someone. He could've easily chosen to go Macklemore route instead

 

[Danie84]

...more like a chia pet, for how he sprouted up the charts

 

[Wacky D]

He's following the drake blueprint. Now all he needs is a fake bidding war to sign him.

basically that son

 

[MoeDollaZ$]

I respect mac miller he doesn't force his music on no one...he went with the college crowd..dude did it right..... no pretending

now when your blowing up out of no where...making mainstream tv appearances and all over blogs... it's straight

I guess the industry "plants" hundreds (maybe thousands) of fans at venues to see them perform as well? If I can find video of an artist performing live and they have a sold out show with fans singing along with their song, they have a fanbase. I can do this for all of these so called "industry plants"

just searched youtube and found this
that's from 2012, opening for Rocky.

Word and this dude in here writing paragrphs tryna explain how G Eazy got a real buzz Nobody outside the internet knows who the fukk dude is. I aint hear about dude till like 2 weeks ago when Sway when talking about him. I know whats poppin on and off the internet. G Eazy getting that "Blog" push.

 

[Grand Champ]

On point.

I think the guy sucks but he has a niche fanbase and audience he's delivering to.

Plus, his fanbase is kinda like Logics fanbase (except Logic doesn't have female fans really)

No one on here or other hip hop forums really listens to Logic. But when I played COD competitively, there was lots of youtubers hyping his shyt up and using his songs in montages. Playing it in their streams. Logic got most of his fanbase from teenager COD nerds/addicts and "bro types"

Guys like THIS https://mobile.twitter.com/NameLeSs_nV

He's not on the radio. I can't even name a song from the guy or a project but he has a very loyal fanbase and those type of fans don't over think shyt the way we do. They just know they like it, and that's that. Yeah, they'll illegally download a link. Yeah they are more so casual fans that like the obvious big name guys like Jay, Pac, Big and Em.. and never heard of no AZ or. But current rappers they like are Drake, Kendrick, J Cole, Meek Mill, Mac Miller and Logic and some trap and drill.

But they go to concerts and buy music. And don't give a shyt about paying for music. I remember I used to clown those type of dudes hard cause some of them act like they really know rap like that but they do really support artist and help them out by sometimes playing their music in their streams

this dude right here

https://mobile.twitter.com/OpTic_NaDeSHoT

pretty much got most of whole Competitive COD scene into Chief Keef and some other drill artists.
He used to stay playing Back From The Dead when it first dropped on stream. He'd stream for like 6 hours and consistently have 5k+ viewers, not the same 5k people.. People leaving his stream, new viewers coming in etc etc. even more when he'd play tournies. his entire chat would be FILLED with people asking him "what's the name of this song?"

The "casual" hip hop fanbase is the best kind to have. Especially the college types cause a lot of them will just buy an album without hearing it first. they're not discussing shyt intricately like we do. They just know they like the music or artist and expose it to their other friends and viewers who are the same.

I would not be surprised one bit if Logic dropped an album and it sold 100k+ first week cause he's been building up that dedicated niche cod nerd/college bro fanbase for YEARS. And they ride for him hard.

For you not be a "fan" of dude you sure went out of way to rant. Are you implying that only college nerds buy albums and go to concerts? Are you tryna downplay every other race that buys albums and goes to shows? Tell us how you really feel
