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.

[Plankton]

there is clearly a difference between the push and promotion and visibility she is getting now compared to august.. and that project is being billed as a mixtape not a debut album like Ice Spice's Y2K project is

for example, the song from this project that she's performing everywhere, is outcharting the 2x platinum song that was all over the radio in 2023

So in other words you don't know how much the album/mixtape has sold so far.

 

[jwinfield]

So how many units did the album sale?


Blogs will talk about everybody but them album sales tell the real story. If the album sales numbers aren't making any real strides then my claim about the album being under the radar still stands.

Ice Spice did 28K in sales and was #3 on the rap charts while Doechii was #28 on the rap charts but I can't find them album sales #'s

Not trying to compare her to Kendrick, but like @phillycavsfan said, Section 80 was nowhere near a hit, but it had a lot of buzz and really got the momentum going to push him to the next level.

No one gave a shyt about Ice outside of her ass, she wasn't opening for stars on tours or these press runs/performances/appearances that Doechii is doing.

Honestly this reminds me a lot of Kendrick push right after section 80 dropped. It didn’t sell well but was critically acclaimed and everybody from Pharrell to Lady Gaga was co-signing him

Ice Spice was on Taylor Swifts Eras tour. Taylor is way bigger then Doja Cat.

True. Ice Spice is a plant. She sells sex and 12 year old vocabulary lyricism. Any hoe listening to that is mildly retarded af.

TDE always been more mature with how they initially marketed their artist. The mainstream won't gravitate to it at first.

 

[jwinfield]

She's got a plat single from last year, a single on the new project that seems to be performing better without any troll shyt where dumb shyt gets things popular like Sexy's bootyhole brown, Ice Spice's ass or Smhurdah's dance, has opened for SZA, Doja, and is rumored to be the opener for the Dot/SZA tour, got a grammy nom and for the past month or so seems to be on the type of press run that a label would give to someone they really plan on pushing.

She wasn't on tour with her, she made an appearance like once to perform a song they made together.

Their song came out May 26, 2023.

Guess what Taylor's boyfriend did a little before their collab?

The 1975’s Matthew Healy Addresses Derogatory Podcast Comments, Apologizes to Ice Spice

Guesting on the Adam Friedland Show podcast in February, Healy laughed as the hosts mocked Chinese, Hawaiian, and Japanese accents. He told a New Zealand crowd he was “kind of a bit sorry.”

The 1975’s Matthew Healy has apologized to Ice Spice for his derogatory comments on the Adam Friedland Show podcast in February, Rolling Stone reports.

Healy has been under fire since the podcast aired in February. During the show, Healy admitted to sending an unreturned direct message to Ice Spice. As a result, Healy and Adam Friedland explained to co-host Nick Mullen who Ice Spice is, which led to Mullen calling the rapper an “Inuit Spice Girl” and a “chubby Chinese lady” before he and Friedland imitated her imagined accent, based on their perception of her racial background. Healy egged on the hosts as they imitated Chinese and Hawaiian accents. Later in the podcast, Healy laughed as Friedland and Mullen imitated Japanese accents.

This shyt blows up, then all of a sudden Taylor and her are best friends, she appears on a remix, and Ice is in a box suite with Taylor rooting on the ChiefsHow many black or hispanic artists have ever appeared on a Taylor song, especially an artist lacking talent like Ice?

It was a clear PR move on Taylor's part.

I didn't say she toured with Taylor. I said she was on the tour, which she was even if it was 1 performance regardless of it being a PR move. Me pointing that out was in response to you saying she wasn't opening for stars on tours or these press runs/performances/appearances that Doechii is doing.

 

[Nigerianwonder]

I don’t understand this cause she’s been out for some time now.

Have yall not heard what it is with Kodak? That song was a smash hit on billboard in 23 and is platinum.



Maybe they decided to Rebrand her and now she’s more “hip hop”


She was literally opening for Beyoncé when she was on that huge tour



Damn @Art Barr is right about her now that I think about it

Yep she was a failed r&b artist who rebranded as a "rapper". I remember her getting a huge push as an rnb artist but her album flopped to hell.

 

[Still Benefited]

isn't that his point?

we can't complain when artist with substance get pushed, yet get no traction, but at the same time complain when the no substance artist getting the same push resonates?

I didnt even know she rapped

So maybe its bad promo on the labels part.

 

[ISO]

Shes a super industry plant

And Scar Lip career was destroyed with the corny gruff NY gimmick

“Purist” tend to love these types but the general public rejects them

 

[tuckgod]

This is the album hip hop heads that didn’t take pink dolphins until they turned into fakkits have been waiting for.

4 time Grammy nom.

Chick got a tiny desk with over 5 million views.


Performing with Issa Rae. Been on night shows performing. This girl is winning

Skimmed through that Tiny Desk,this is what the booth is championing in 2024?


I see why she is nominated for a Grammy though. This is exactly the type of rap that wins grammys lol.

No,just no. Glorilla actually is much better than her. And I say that as someone who thinks hellhound rap needs to go. She is not "the one" you can say we ignored in an effort to guilt trip us. You can not say shes "under the radar" when you got people like Sada Baby having they style used by Kendrick but people dont even realize it


Too many examples of under the radar rappers to try to make her a martyr based on what i just heard. Who was that white rapper who won a grammy over Kendrick? Thats the kind of cringe i was hearing as i skimmed. It better be bots hyping this girl up#NotMyBooth
