Doechii's album "ABNH" was what Hip Hop heads were waiting for but it went under the radar so now you can't complain about Sexyy Red and Ice Spice.

Like hell they don’t
Majority have over a million

They really don't. Most artists don't get a million since they're smaller or underground. For example, Tinashe who had a major viral TikTok hit this year has 748K right now. Flo Mili had 968K.

WHOA. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but this is crackhead talk. Doechii is the most talented female rapper in the game today and arguably rapper period. Her lyrics are dope, her live performance is exceptional and she can even sing. Calling her trash is blasphemy

No she is not. She is trash. I've said this before previously about her music... This era of music is so bad folks get credit for just rapping even if they aren't that good at it. She got a dated recycled 90s flow with basic cat in the hat Dr seuss rhymes. She wouldnt even be on Bahamadia level if she came out in the 90s.

Glorilla, Meg, Nicki etc.. all RAP 10x better than her. Just cause she is "different" than mainstream doesn't mean she is dope.

This album is one of thee best albums of 2024. It stays on repeat with GNX.

She's incredibly talented without being oversexualized for likes.

Reminds me of a female Andre 3000 or Slick Rick/Missy Elliott combo.

It’s actually not under the radar. I’ve heard quite a few a bit about it. The only reason you’re probably confused is cause it’s December and you’re still hearing about it despite it coming out in August. Still promoting an album a couple months old is damn near unheard of in the modern/streaming era. Usually it’s two weeks then in to the next. Other artists and labels need to take note.

Is everybody in the real world talking about her album? Do you hear her songs on the radio nonstop? Cars driving by bumping her songs heavy in the streets? Is Baller Alert and Shaderoom flooding stories about her like they do Sexyy Red and Ice Spice?

I don't think that's accurate at all. Her Tiny Desk has over 5 million views. Most Tiny Desks don't get over a million, and she's getting similar views to legacy acts like Nelly Furtado and Maxwell. In fact the only stars getting more views than her in the past few months are Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, and Dua Lipa. Three (borderline) stadium acts.

Bro she dropped a project this year that already flopped.

All that "but the YouTube views" shyt is over once you dropping projects. We know what it's hitting for now

This is the part where nikkas lose the plot because situations like this don't neatly fits the narrative.

Doechii is getting the industry push and nikkas aren't interested. Point blank. In spite of her substance. What's worse is if she didn't get the industry push then she might as well have not even existed, since "the streets" support rarely goes to an artist like her.

Instead the organic "streets" support will go to a substance-less rapper like Boosie, King Von or to a lesser extent Glorilla. Mfs will get celebrated and the label execs will eventually pop up to capitalize.

On the otherhand when a Sexxy Red gets her (inorganic) industry push nikkas want to drop think pieces and video essays about what messages and images "they" are trying to push into our children. All while a dozen doechii, no name, scar lip etc type rappers are in their peripheral drowning.

I fell out with these narrative ms long ago as I watched many of those early 2010s rappers disappear while nikkas seemed determined to drag trash along past the finish line

I generally agree with the tone of this post, but I will say people are gravitating towards Doechii. She's getting that Zack Fox/Abbot Elementary type audience right now. Only time will tell if she'll be able to reach a Nicki type of status.
