Because *most* messageboard nikkas are horrible A&Rs. They think the least relevant songs/artists will do numbers based on how many whips they hear a song blasting out of or how many nikkas in their hood like a mixtape. "Buzz" has replaced actual relevancy.
Fixed that for ya.
Y'all don't think REAL A&Rs don't scour these blogs that these dumb rappers are paying to push their music? They're some legit record exec people on these message boards. They just hardly ever post or speak on anything. But a few cats here know what they're talking about.
It's just that folks get caught up in the hype of big artists and can't objectively speak on what's going on out here. And the truth hurts when speaking on some of these artists...
I mean people said his career was over, he was flabby and sick, had no buzz, TM103 was gonna flopNo way he was gonna outsell ross etc
Then he drops the album it debuts number 3 with 200,000 plus sold and he gets a gold plaque![]()
I agree with you, it's just that I don't consider those guys "messageboard nikkas"Fixed that for ya.

People underestimate Jeezy's n TI's influence and fanbase in the streets. Jus cuz them nikkas aint dressing in goth and doing illuminati signs in they videos the average net nikka thinks they are not relevant.
It's Tha world wuz a classic mixtape
what are the numbers for gfid...580k or something. Jeezy did 700k with tm103 without the buzz that mmg has.
