Why isn't Tee Grizzley a superstar?

[BigMan]

He’s close to being one

do y'all know what a superstar is?
Drake is a superstar, not no Rod Wave

 

[CrimsonTider]

I thought Rod wave was from Florida?

 

[Reptile]

Cuz he can’t rap on beat

None of these newer Detroit nikkas can. They just talk on beats. Some of them actually say shyt though (Babyface Ray, Rio, Cash Kidd) but Tee Grizzly yea straight ass sandwiches.

He does like 100k first week, with barely any promo and is 22. He can become one lowkey

 

[UpAndComing]

Ever. He just isn't that good honestly. Vezzo and ray is better in every way and don't get me started on payroll.

He's on big quis level to me at best

What are some modern day Detroit rappers I should listen to?

I like that Detroit style of rapping, want more of that in my music library

True but he paved a way for national exposure of Detroit trap rap for that era. Sure, you had the dej loaf, Doughboy before that. But 2017 on, Tee and Helluva made a different era. 42, was local back then. Ray had buzz in the underground sense because of Team Eastside. But not like he is today Flint rap wasn't known either

Dex osama brung the light back to Detroit.

flint rap is from Peezy tree

peezy and ray and vezzo and them been bubbling and stayed grinding for years to get where they at now. Tee did his thing but he ain’t blow the city up.

 

[eastside313]

He was known for rappin local but he never was hotter than team eastside. They made detroit nikkas wanna rap

Main reasons imo is he isolated hisself from the detroit music scene...and when he said fukk tooka that turned alotta nikkas off lowkey

Never heard of tee before first day out.

I agree Dex brought light to Detroit. But he still was underground when he passed. I'm not trying to negate its people before Tee who have been grinding. But I disagree on the impact that First Day out had. You had people like Lebron, Jay Z talking about First Day Out. Helluva got to work with big artists. Helluva convo with Gotti lead to Dugg getting signed.

I agree on the impact Peezy had on Flint rap. But again, I believe 2017 set in motion what we had today. That doesn't negate the artists that were already building their audience.

He drops gems in every track he's on. None of that running off on the plug goofball shyt either. He seems like a truly stand up dude.

Real grown man rap

As far as albums go:

Giovanni's Way
Game Related (Cardo produced with Larry June and HBK)
Big Bossin Volumes 2 & 1 (Both produced by Cardo)
Spirit Of A Boss

He spits a ton of game on all his other albums, but he's really stepped up his production on these last few releases.







Peezy dope too

Spoiler

He def had buzz in the city. All them Allstar dudes. People liked Allstar Jr more imo. But yeah def not Eastside level.

Am I crazy or does Detroit Rappers sound very similar to Bay Area rappers?

I know it was mentioned before. I'm wondering if there's a lineage somewhere

I think it's just the hustler's spirit and love of basement beats that both areas share.

1. Tee Grizzley doesn't mumble in his raps.


2. Tee Grizzley ain't out here clout chasing for views on some Fugazi ish

3. He's on 300 Entertainment.. Not a good place if u wanna be a star. Tee is just as ice cold as Shy Glizzy on that label.

Honestly, I think he's been chilling out since the death of his Aunt a few years back.
