They are about the same. East is more recognizable only cause he is in the social media era



On one hand can you blame them? They are investing a lot of resources and nothing East has done on his own has gained any traction

The Chris Brown feature is done tho

Just let him do what he did on Hate Me Now and Kairi Chanel.

That joint he did with Mack Wilds would be a good single that could have gotten traction if it were released today.

It's good, not great. Dave will have more chances if it doesn't hit.

This is horrible, I've been on it lately like these generic "for the bytches" songs are not only becoming unlistenable, but they have long been insulting, this is an esp. glaring example. It's not even listenable. Besides all that, they don't sell anymore. We are a long way from 1998 when all this really started. You can't just throw an R&B singer on the hook and do three lazy verses, and get a platnium plaque. You can do all sorts of other kinds of records though, these guys are using a format that left years ago. I give Future credit and artists like Young Thug for not making these types of tracks, look at the Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Bobby Shurmda, you see all kinds of different tracks.

And East is mailing it in on a song format that should have died when when Jay retired the first time.

The concept of just putting artists together just off namesake doesn't work anymore. You need chemistry. This is a clear attempt to just get a club or radio single and it isn't well put together.

The label is really trying to figure out a way to get him spins with a record geared toward the women, but that ain't his lane. It may be in the future but it isn't right now. It wasn't T.I. lane either when he first came out, but he eventually figured it out. Not a big fan of the label trying to force this on his fans.

I think T.I was always good at that though.



But unlike Dave East,majority of his real fans didnt wear high heels at the time,so T.I never exploited it:pachaha:?If T.I pandered to women at his peak he probaly couldve sold better numbers than he did.

if anything they should be exploiting the Nas cosign and have him pandering to Nas stans by beating them over the head with conscience tracks,and story telling....Those Nas stans will eat up anybody Nas throws at em:blessed:,even white boys who rhyme like him and Nas himself rhyming as a woman:laff:

Women are the life line of music so the more you pay them attention the better you tend to fare. That's been going since the creation of popular music. What I do agree with you on is this feels as generic as they come...She's perfect just seems so contrived...but once again it isn't up to us if that blows it's about how women take to it. Drakes made a legendary career out of witty insightful songs targeting women so it's still going on. I'm always concerned when someone's jump off single is featuring someone else.

lol 100 songs talkin about doggin bytches but now "you deserve it cause you perfect"? he dont even believe that but like you said it's up to the females

the good thing is that him and Wayno took time to build a solid foundation so he can keep trying until he figures it out....he gotta start applying pressure soon tho...dont wanna see nikkas on the Coli in 2019 talkin bout "yo all he needs is ONE" lol

It's all about playing to your strengths...An attempt at the ladies will sound different coming from PAC, Jigga, BIG, Drake etc because their stage personalities were different...As an artist you know your female fans the most...Do they want you to hold their hand or do they want their back blown out? It has to be figured out
