Acts like Odd Future and 50 Cent shook the industry up. You think we'll ever see that again ?

Discuss. I remember when Yonkers dropped and that's literally what anyone was talking about at any time, the OF movement was insane it was like a shift in the whole culture took place. A$AP as well


that shyt mattered to you cause you were young then, Im assuming you are a grown ass man now,

The young nikkas care about blueface even though they are trash.

What exactly did Curly do to shake up the industry? And don't say sell a lot of records because he was riding an Eminem wave and co signed Dr Dre. What else did he do?

Borrow the Tupac marketing plan?

Get help from Westcoast legends like Dr Dre, Nate Dogg and Snoop on his singles?

Sing r&b like Ja Rule?



I'd speak more on Odd Future but they are nothing more than Wu Tang with Kick Flips, fukk outta here.
Another game sickibg fakkit lol.

as a 50 cent hater, I was 12-13 when wangster and in the club came out and I don't remember my peers listening or bringing up Eminem when it came to 50 cent. I didn't even know they were associates until they went to the VMAs as an entourage later that year. Weren't no black person listening to 50 cent because of an Eminem co-sign, when we didn't even listen to Eminem. Maybe Dre is a reason, considering he produce all his best tracks.

You can't be serious.

Wankster was on the 8 mile sound track, you know the movie about Eminem's life :snoop:

I stand by what I said, he didn't revolutionize anything. He was basically a lonely child that Jimmy and Dre took in so Eminem could have a plant to grow in this industry.

Yeah obviously, that’s how the music industry works. It’s market economics, there’s a term called recuperation: “the process by which politically radical ideas and images are twisted, co-opted, absorbed, defused, incorporated, annexed and commodified within media and bourgeois society, and thus become interpreted through a neutralized, innocuous or more socially conventional perspective. More broadly, it may refer to the cultural appropriation of any subversive works or ideas by mainstream culture.”

They milk a new trend for all its worth, then once it becomes flabbynsick, they find a new artist. Usually the most brazenly extroverted they can find to act as a spokesperson: Tupac, Kurt Cobain back in the day. 50 cent, OF, and now of course all the social media rappers that literally instigate beef online more than putting out actual music.

Then once that spokesmodel has given everyone a style to run with, the industry ends their career by bringing up all the old shyt they used to do and has the media ruin their reputation and shyt on their new music. That way, they can bring in a whole crop of copycat artists that are far easier to control than just the single artist who set the trend.

That’s why if you want longevity in the industry, you have to be a chameleon and just constantly put out new styles for people to steal. That’s what David Bowie and Madonna and Lady Gaga types do, just be new all the time and never let their style get played out.

see thats the thing.

we were just rocking with it because we thought it was a dope track from a hot new dope cat not because we thought Eminem were attach to him we didn't even know that was the case back then.

Odd future only really blew up because they were super edgy doing the whole 666 stuff ...of course kids love that shyt

But they could back it up with music

For example Soulja Boy is a GOAT troll too but can’t back it up music wise


:skip:

Soulja boy’s songs actually transcended.
He can perform some of his songs when he’s 60 and get paid.

How you claim that OF's movement wasn't organic, and in the same very same post say that Young Thug & Future were?

:jagsdafuq:


When future went 2.0 it was so scary drake had to do something you never think he would. One of the best music comeback stories.



Thug had the whole industry on his wave once Gucci really introduced properly.

He came out with some bangers ...
It just didn’t get the big public reaction

To keep it real now that I think about it has there really been a “super smash hit” in 2019
(For hip hop )
