Albums Dave East - Survival (Discussion Thread)

[Neuromancer]

I hear you but if thats what labels think now, then good music is good music. look at a lot of the songs Rick Ross releases as singles. a lot of them dont have a distinct regional sound. a lot of smooth shyt and good production. thats what these songs represent for East but for some reason they wanted to push the Gunna and Max B songs.

Yeah Ross has a great universal sound.

and I am not a Ross fan, but good music is good music and he has had some really great singles. Rappers should concentrate on what sounds the best rather than a feature from whoever is supposedly hot or trying to pull over some of their fan base. Like the Mozzy song isnt bad but Mozzy has so many songs that sound like that.

Def Jam executive says he "stole" Dave East from signing to G.O.O.D. Music

they think these songs will bring them mass appeal (pardon the pun) so they push songs like that instead of focusing on making a cohesive album. nowadays, these songs can still be hits without being on the album. the album is actually good when you take out the bad songs but I'll tell you, I was never anticipated for the album at all off the strength of Survival Pacc which was the Gunna and Max B songs. album was surprisingly better than expected if you were basing on those tracks.

this is the only reason someone like fabolous never had a classic.

came in to say I just realized how much this album cover reminds me of ginuwine's "the bachelor" album cover tone-wise

Album has good replay value

Curious how he would have fit, he'd be a more conservatively normal rapper on there

East said he requested to go on Everyday Struggle but they curved him

Thats weird considering Wayno is his mans too

I think he’d be the same street based artist could see someone like Pusha executive producing his album or something and he’d get a Kanye beat or feature or two and they would definitely push that Harlem connection with Teyana Taylor

G.O.O.D. did a horrible job with Desiigner
