[Thoughts]

He has fans? People still buy mixtapes? Let's discuss this for real ...Summer Walker

In addition, DJ Drama's newly established Means Street Studios in Atlanta will become the studio base for Atlantic artists while in the market

Does this mean Drama gets cut a check for studio time from out an Atlantic act's budget everytime one records in ATL?

Exactly, I'm saying though ...he's managed to stay in the game way past his expiration date.

I've always wondered this myself, what is it he does that makes him stand out so much from other DJs?
Is his radio show that poppin

 

[NatiboyB]

I remember when he got raided for selling mix tapes sponsored and coordinated with the actual Artist.

Relationships.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Just like every other non-artist in the music industry...

he created a "brand" and elevated his position as a glorified middle man and "curator" of content.

He almost used to have this "team" of DJs that would help promote artists.

He was a gatekeeper of south music for quite some time.

 

[28 Gramz]

His brand is associated with classics/success. It's not really anything he's doing..just his reputation for knowing what the new hot shyt will be (at least in the south).

 

[Harry B]

He's 10 years of putting on people, hosting classics and being a huge dj and gets hired = winning?
He's been winning, now he's working as everyone else.

That's how clueless the feds were , I think Don Cannon got hit though ...with the RICO.
