Why isn't Tee Grizzley a superstar?

[GoldenGlove]

Damn... I'm late. Tee Grizzley did a album with Timbo and that shyt was wack? LOL

Facts. I'm turning into that old Uncle that can't keep up with the releases for the nikkas that I actually have heard of and been checking for.

When did this Timbo album drop?

 

[Playaz Eyez]

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.

Probably the best answer in here. Tee Grizzley is a “traditional” no nonsense type rapper when compared to all these druggie and whiny emo thug crying rappers. You can clearly hear his words when he raps. I actually think him being offbeat is very overstated, or maybe I’ve listened to so much Suga Free and E-40 over the years that my ears are accustomed to that style.

Pretty much...

Tee is doin his music, making his money, and flying under the radar.


I have no issue with that.



People having a issue with him being must have not listened to Blueface or Cormega

 

[maxamusa]

Tee dope AF...but you really surprised he's not a "superstar?" Also; His catalogue kinda veered off. He would have probably been better off moving how Mozzy does

Tee Payroll and Peezy should drop a group album tho

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.

Where u been bruh. Helluva been producing for big artists forever. He was doing songs with people like tip and rocko and yo gotti over a decade ago

peezy put flint on. Him and Lou put the money behind rio and signed him.


You also had them same types of big names talkin about Dex osama too. He just got killed way to early.

[Tribal Outkast]

A million rappers have had the same career trajectory. You can ask this about anybody really.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

He ok but why should he be a star?

He not special and yea he ugly....so that tends to limit your crossover possibility unless you are supremely talented like say Biggie

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

he is another victim of hype. flow couldn't ride a bike with training wheels.

 

[010101]

his image & presentation is not compelling

but he's smart & i feel like he will find success beyond music

[Rozay Oro]

Him a durk did a joint tape and he was hotter than durk at the time.

I def thought he would be further along

he can really rap tho

What’s it called

 

[Womb Raider]

Y’all nikkas really never heard of Scriptures? Lol jawn was way better than Tee gives it credit for.

 

[Youngdev]

What’s it called

Bloodas

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Not sexy enough
Pause

 

[RichYung]

I think it’s because the other nikkas from Detroit and surrounding area started getting hot right behind him (pause ) ….And they started getting looks too. So it kinda took the focus off of him.
