That Roddy Ricch flop and fall off is wild when you think about it.

[Art Barr]

The so called "ATL autotune sound" was sharked from a New Orleans nikka, Lil Wayne, and Flawda Boy, T- Pain.

Cher
Madonna
Cheetah girls
T pain
Weezy on prostitute flange

shyt is what if the soundefx guy.
from police academy had a record deal with sharon apple.
Then bit every triple six mafia, young dro and la and future song with r kelly meets three piece and snypaz smoke and ride. All decided to bite waeezy biting t pain to make prostitute flange

All autotune music. Which should be called the device genre is a biterfest.

You just have to choose.
which artist you prefer from the legions of biters.

It is all sharon apple at the end of the day tho.
THE PROPHECY OF MACROSS PLUS's SHARON APPLE = REALITY

That nikka has to stay on features nothing else

it’s like Nate Dogg trying to make a solo album

I can't say anything about Roddy's music, but what happened to him is like that old Elvis Costello quote. "You have your whole life to make your first album and a year to make your second one." Not every artist can handle it. Either you get better on your second one or worse. You might not even have the opportunity to capture people with your third album.

Also, hip hop doesn't move as quickly as it used to. I think if the album had the quality, it wouldn't have mattered if Roddy released it after two years. Especially with the pandemic doing a number on the industry.

 

[MrSpook]

Lil Tjay don’t sound like he from Atlanta

It’s Roddy that sounds like Thug

Difference of opinion. I like jay out of all three but that auto tune can mask where these Jhits come from some time.

Hip hop moves faster than other genres is how I always took that

 

[Ziggiy]

i y’all say this man doesn’t need an intervention

 

[Youngdev]

Roddy didn’t have a solid fan base , kinda came out the gates with no hits

plus he has no story, I don’t know nothing bout this nikka besides that he from California

It does, but if you compare the way it is now to how it was in the golden age, it's nowhere near the same pace. Back then, you could release an album at 18 and be considered at 23. If you weren't constantly trying to update your sound and keep up with what was going on, your career was finished. Public Enemy's debut album was supposed to come out in 1986, but it was delayed until 1987. By the time it came out, it was already considered dated and they were working on their second album the day it came out.

The example I always use is Run-D.M.C. Raising Hell went triple platinum, made them superstars and the biggest rappers in the world. Everybody wanted a piece of them, they had a $1 million Adidas deal, they worked with Michael Jackson. Two years later, their next album comes out after being delayed and sells half of what Raising Hell sold. When people look back at '88, nobody even talks about their album because there was way too much competition making better music.

If Roddy was around back then, I don't think he would have been able to make a third album.

This is facts. It’s definitely slowed down from that standpoint.

I feel like lil baby could’ve dropped in 2012 and fit right in with rap the same way he does in 2022

If Future dropped in 2002 instead of 2011, that sound would’ve been rejected.

Roddy needs to drop some new music this summer. It’s already hard for west coast artist to be mainstream stays as is

 

[NV-ME]

feel bad for roddy. covid affected his career more than anyone. that album was cooking. had legs. he was sure to clean up at them festivals summer '20. prolly woulda fostered a lot of dope collabs moving forward into his next album.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

you aint never lied that 2nd album was so fukking trash he deleted his social media accounts after posting on there crying about the fans turned on him
weirdo had a big marketing promo too putting out movie posters claiming the album had no skips

the debut album was so fire, it was really disappointing listening to this one . he gotta really do something special to come back after that. his fake tough guy image wont save him again

 

[paidNfull]

People really overreacting in this thread just like he did,just drop a dope song or record,this isn't the 90s, u only as hot as your last record

 

[Sad Bunny]

That follow up Album was so trash

It’s really over for him.

And most black people hate their own so they celebrate when their artists “fall off”
