Unlike Kanye this kid has no pull, no cred, and no fame. He is a wanna be punk who is intent on ruining his career before it starts. If you didnt want it dont accept it. But dont embarrass the people who provided it in the public manner that he did. Thats just not smart. Bad publicity as well closing any possible corporate doors. Chess not checkers. He wants to be crowned but he is not a King in any form.
Thats why the internet is ruining these clowns...they forgot their place in the streets

Man, I never would have listened to Norf Norf or a few of his other singles if it wasn't for Spotify.

Vince has a cool personality, though, he's a fun follow on Twitter ... But get it through your head: the model of purchasing CDs doesn't do it anymore, or for much longer. Spotify is a middle man, and a good one at that, especially for consumers.
Spotify is good for consumers but TERRIBLE for artists financially :mindblown: how yall aint gettin that, that's the whole reason he and a grip of other artist dislike this shyt

Spotify literally paying nikkas pennies but he's supposed to be worried about burning bridges :bryan: i swear yall nikkas never cease to amaze me

nikka has said plenty of times he only cares about show/movie/endorsement money cuz record sales aint shyt

But no you nikkas just see someone not sticking to the gameplan (that obviously doesnt work out for most dudes unless you're kanye/drake/kendrick status) and shyt on him for calling out a company for rapin nikkas pockets

Even if Spotify paid negative 1 cent per play (as in artists would owe THEM a penny every time you heard their song), nobody is putting a gun to their heads and making them be in the situation where their music can be streamed. Start your own label and sign yourself so you can pull your music off there. I dont even know if Def Jam put the songs up there against his will, but if they did, that's the trade-off for voluntarily signing to Def Jam

Like its a different kinda outspoken too not based on social and political stuff more little petty things here or there and he does mainly for a little comedy and truth but yeah....he gonna say the wrong thing about the wrong person and its gonna be :huhldup:

Still I get what he's saying though like all the stuff
