What happened to Big KRIT?

[up in here]

Who cares about mainstream success? He could have a Nipsey Hussle type lane where he eats good and is comfortable making the music he wants to. Last thing I wanna hear KRIT do is switch his style to to gain white female fans.

funny you mention Nipsey cause he does the same thing. Im not saying they need to switch up and cant do the pimpish songs, i like those songs too, all im saying is their "positive" songs that they currently do that could have them reach a wider audience are also heavy on the pimp shyt, which limits their appeal. I dont think they need to chase the sound thats popular or abandon their current styles, both artists are pretty diverse in what they are able to do, just if they fine tune what they are currently doing so the pimp shyt is on the pimp tracks and the uplifting songs stick to uplifting shyt that would give them more appeal without switching up their sound. Seriously, alot of Krits "positive" songs got him talking bout tryna find a shorty to fukk, same with Nipsey. Like I was trying to put together a playlist that I could keep on hand for when my girl is with me in the car but pretty much all of their shyt got at least one verse talking bout bytches, fukking and suckin. And Im not saying they cant rap about that shyt, im just saying it dont gotta be on every song, especially with these two artists who have the talent in them to make songs that dont need these pimpish references. its not even about diversifying their music, because they are already very diverse artists, im just saying fine tune it a little

He basically dropped like 5 albums when you think about it. He produced and rapped on every single joint. Its amazing how microwave-minded we've become in the last 3 years

Woah friend. Krit is out there doing mission work in hostile territory. Are we not instructed to "go out into the world...", friend?

The first few posts in this thread made me sad for hip-hop.

If there is anything slowing his mainstream success it's the pimpin shyt. Half his concious shyt he talking bout hoes and fukking. That ain't really gonna help him expand his fan base

Yet nuccas look up to Jay-Z & Kanye & Wayne...who don't be talking bout shyt AT ALL in they recent shyt

I post on the Coli, I aint listened to the radio in years. I like what I like. I don't care if Curren$y or Freddie Gibbs or Nipsey Hussle or Krit don't get radio play. I'm still gonna check for em and support them financially. I don't care if he becomes a rapstar & diva like Kanye. As long as he...continues to put out quality music, I'm good.

...that's all that matters

jay and kanye established themselves in a different era

You fukks are too spoiled these days.

that might work for Jay...but Kanye's era aint too far removed from Krit's. And Kanye wasn't even on the same shyt he's on now, while Jay-Z pretty much been bout the same shyt since RD

Either way...I'm saying ppl can't be referencing Krit's duality (which every man struggles with) when the Hip-hop greats had the same appeal.

Honestly, I think his promotion sucks. I don't remember a music video I was blown away by other than Hometown Hero, the Vent, and Sometimes.

I mean dude got a ridiculous discography and barely any visuals to give them justice.

*edit* I Got This wasn't bad either...

ain't nobody checking for krit
He had his chance tho

Im actually hoping Krit goes a bit bigger and "poppier" on his next project. Dude is serious about his craft and could pull off a project like that

He put on one of the best live sets Ive seen from a rap artist since Red and Meth a few years back

You can tell a lot of you are introverts and spend the majority of your time on here. KRIT's fanbase has grown significantly since those first 2 projects and he is still making good music. Not having a bunch of threads on the 1st page in The Booth doesnt mean an artists buzz has died.

im saying, duality is good if its on separate songs, like yeah Kanye had the shyt talking pimpish songs like "workout plan" "slow jamz" and "breath in breath out" but the pimpish shyt didn't really feature on "jesus walks" "all falls down" and "through the wire". with Krit, even on his positive songs he be talking pretty explicitly bout hoes fukking and sucking. so when i say he gotta tone down the pimp shyt, im specifically speaking about on those "positive" songs. he can still do pimp/player songs, i enjoy those. just keep the pimp shyt and the positive shyt on separate tracks.

This sorry ass thread. If you don't like Krit get the fukk on somewhere. He's the best artist ice heard past 10 years and when his album drops, if its as good as his mixtape a it'll be the first album I will have bought in almost decade. nikkas callin him corny. Where the fukk y'all nikkas from?
