Tracee Ellis Ross from Blackish/Girlfriends rapping "My Dirty Little Secret".... Told yall this record was fire



This is the shyt the boy has working in his favor...women respond...celebrity women in fact. Angela Yee was right once upon a time when she said The Method Man lane is there to be played. Meth was adored by women but he did it on his terms and they loved him for it. Once he figures out the Hood Romance approach he will be a millionaire several times over

Yeah Nas had charisma and elite talent, neither of which East possess.

bytches like him and he can rap. I guess with charisma you're saying nikkas don't wanna be like him (fab, kiss, cam etc). Coming up you wanted to be cool like those nikkas lol .

This project was pretty good.

I'm looking forward to his debut Def Jam album. That's going to really dictate where his career is headed.

What do you see as Dave's ceiling in terms of album sales? Can he be in the 100k+ first week club? It's a very exclusive club at this point in hip-hop.

He can do it but he's going to need two heaters playing coast to coast. Not necessarily top 40 shyt but stuff to keep his female base excited to be fans. I personally don't think Perfect is it but you never know what a well put together video can do If that's the case the kid can do 150k

He's already figured out the women love him. That's all he been saying in every recent interview.

Na what I mean is the music has to reaffirm the fact. Smart decisions musically which satisfy them as well as his stance while sounding good

I think his videos like "Keisha" and "Dirty Little Secret" help. Really walks the line between story-telling and making him a character that's mysterious and movie-like.

Besides that, work more on videos that get women involved. I wanna see Maneuver get made into a video, with some fine ladies and shyt. Different ladies like different type of vibes, just gotta make sure it isn't too ratchet tho.

Im a big Dave East fan and as a whole this project kind of disappointed me not to say there arent bright spots throughout the project but this is not KC at all. I still jam KC regularly I will probably only jam a handful of songs on this project moving forward. Still a fan but this is not his best work imo. Still looking forward to hearing more from homie I know he got tracks with Drake I wanna see how them boys sound on a track together
