It's what happens to a lot of artists.
You make enough money and you lose your inspiration/motivation to keep creating great music.
His new album was a major letdown. He sounds uninspired.

Free TC did 31k first week. This campaign shyt finna do less. That's trash b.

Am I buggin or would you not expect someone who had, or has featured on hit records for the past 3 years straight to do more?

So? In this era, it's only hit songs that count.

Only :flabbynsick: nikkaz use first week numbers as a barometer of success in 2016.

Truth be told, he's on Atlantic.

What they do up there, is force their artists to record songs that were pre-recorded and referenced by other writers. People the label sees as "hit-makers". It's what Lupe was complaining about years ago. You can't get a deal there, unless you're okay with using these pre-made songs. They tried to give Lupe that "Airplanes" joint, and "Nothin' On You". He wanted to write his own songs from top to bottom. So he didn't fukk with them. B.o.B took them, and they ended up being hits for him. Atlantic's whole "urban" department is run on material written by unknown writers who shoot for radio. You're not gonna sign there and make the album you want. Kallman ain't having that.

Campaign is the upcoming ninth mixtape by American hip hop recording artist Ty Dolla Sign. The tape is scheduled as his first commercially to be released on September 23, 2016. It features guest appearances from Future, Travis Scott and Big TC.

So is this even an album that yal bytching about?

His R&B content is too graphic. Horses in the Stable would have been a hit if his lyrics werent so straight forward lol.

Too diverse. Pick a lane. Half the time he's doing trap bullshyt then hes doing actually good r&b. He needs to do a good r&b single (not album cuts, a hit) and go that way

I love him for 1 verse or 1 hook, his solo music doesn't do it for me

Thats the other thing, he puts out too much shyt. He just dropped something last year. Why would he drop something this year with no hit single? How are casual listeners supposed to know about this?
