Above the fray.
they left a ton of old beefs on the table.

they killed their own momentum with the BET show. they shouldve at least kept doing the dvds for the core audience. but even with that, they started getting lazy on the coverage by beef 3.

but yea, theres an audience of people who will buy, if done right. but people want to cater everything to young people who dont support nothing.
They should have pivoted into artists versus record labels, and expanded beyond hip hop

As the fans of the first dvds got older, they'd be less interested in street level beef and probably more receptive to learn about legal beefs.

The artists covered would be legacy acts at this point. Not signed to major label anymore, and no fear of getting whiteballed.

No. YouTube hip hop news section is one big beef dvd. From beef documentaries, daily beef news, beef breakdowns, beef origins, murder investigations, even beef amongst the vloggers. It’s a whole sub genre of that shyt

Yeah I love the Beef dvd's but this is how the market works now.

Not for modern beefs because most of them lil hoes beef on social media.

It's never going go be interesting hearing dudes talk about "so I @ed the nikka and everything, shyt I even hashtagged his bytch ass crew WHAT! And I retweeted some other shyt too I don't give a fukk!".

That's why TI bytchass lost face when they did his beef with Flip.

The hell we don’t :rudy:


dvds still moving in the trenches.

especially when you get to the 40 & ups. older people arent tech-savy like that and/or prefer physical copies.

im not saying that they should do a dvd based on people like chief keef or people like that. naw.

majority of that stuff is geared towards youngns & net dwellers.

theres been alot of money left on the table thru the past 15 years in so many facets of entertainment.

like when everything began to be geared directly towards people with little - to no income.:laugh:

they did do that with the TV show.
and iirc, they covered the prince beef.
and the expanded to hollywood & sports beefs too.

but you prolly dont remember that because the show ended abruptly afterwards, as they alienated their core.
they could do that on the side, and thats cool, but they shouldve kept the day one audience fed with the street stuff and the str8 hip-hop stuff.

Know it would be streaming now but would they be good or bad for the culture? I'd love to hear from both Drake and Push, Freddie N jeezy, Meek V Drake, etc. Or would it just inflame ish? I'd rather it just focuses on the on wax stuff personally We don't need more bodies but I'd like more insight brehs.
Either no one ever cared about those needs (Gibbs n Jeezy) or nobody cares anymore (Drake n Meek). Would make more sense to focus on Chicago beefs. That way you get violence, murder etc and there’s a big online audience for that nonsense.

part of the whole selling point of those dvds was the fact it was a tangible product. often bootlegged but it was from a different era. youd watch this on dvd, most likely a bootleg copy, wit ya peeps with the ringtone phones, free nights and weekends, nextels, sipping hynotiq.

Nah probably not because you see everything happening on twitter or social media in general not mention the amount YouTubers like Trap Lore Ross & Trap Greek doing that same format in a way pretty makes them DVDs obsolete.
