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
it's not hard to figure out. look at his comment section on ig...they be thirsting over dude....if im the label im selling these bytches the fantasy. fukk the cookie cutter shyt.

Make real songs that women will connect with, as well as men. Drake did a good job of that, through whatever creative process, his songs are easy to play as a man, and women love them. He can be vulnerable, he can be angry, it can be extremely pop, but I wouldn't call them generic. This is just lazy, and you can tell the 30 year old rappers try to recreate the 2000's and late 90's with formats that Jay and Jada, Fab and them kind of introduced. The three 16's and an R&B hook, that has nothing to do with your actual music content, it's just lazy pandering.

Do a song about being cheated on, from the male's perspective, write a song about your daughter, talk about a childhood love you lost, write about sex relationships in modern times (that's all Drake does)

There's not much "new" under the sun here, but step out of this unforgivably bad lane of "chanel bag/wet p*ssy" songs, I didn't listen long enough to hear the typical male sex prowess lines, but i know they are there.

I rather hear a female song that is drawn off real life experiences

Not this trash

NYC continues to get left behind :hhh:

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.
sounds like they're kicking the can down the road because Don Q and A Boogie about to wash whatever Dave thinks he's gonna step out with.

I disagree cause although Cam was holding his hand as you put it Vado at least had some bangers that ran off Nationwide. Dave East trying to get that for himself but Vado had We all up in here, Hey Muma and Speaking in tongues which if I remember was getting radio play nationwide. If not at least NY was supporting him a lot.
Vado didn't have today's social media

J. Cole and Drake are the kings of that shyt. that's why they're so successful

This isn't a satisfactory excuse. Vado is not Shells, Newz, Team Arliss or Shea Davis. Vado has been on the scene since twitter was bugging out over the loosies released before Take Care or "Cartoons & Cereal" had social media going nuts. If Vado didn't connect then that's what it is but to say he didn't have today's social media isn't exactly accurate.
