Ebro Says He Got A Call From Record Labels Saying “It Should Be Noted Many Major Record Labels Have Deprioritized Signing Rappers”

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Tired of listening to multiple n words, graphic descriptions of how you'll kill another Black man, crass materialism, degrading of Black women, incoherent mumble babble, glorification of hard drug use, and proudful ignorance.

Rap should of died like 15 years ago if we're being honest shyt is played out people wanna vibe and dance and feel good. Latin music(for th most part cause they have their ghetto shyt too) and Afrobeats provide that feeling.Music is suppose to make you feel good not run down on opps.

Go to a rap concert that shyt isn't even music just a mf with 20 other mf'ers on stage with his pants hanging off his ass walking around high and/or drunk af with his vocals playing in the back.

Super trash

What do you think Latin and African artists are rapping about? It’s the literally the same content. They even dress like rappers.

This is strictly about being able to exploit bigger markets.

oldhead babble

labels gonna sign anyone with a buzz

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Rap music is not making any stars anymore and rappers are falling off quick.

The biggest Latin and Afro beat artists blew up by co-signs and features from star rappers.

Don’t nobody listen to that mumbo bullshyt

I mean it's been 10 years since Drake, Kendrick, and Cole dropped and nobody really replaced them yet. The streaming numbers are big but rappers not really transcending like they used to. Lil Baby probably came the closest out of the new batch and even he's not a mega superstar. If you were going to pivot the business to more lucrative areas now is the time.

I'd replace Nipsey with Juice Wrld because Nipsey was older, but yeah the supposed stars of the zoomed generation were all lost before their prime. That's a large reason why the genre has stagnated.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Nah I don't believe it. A label can invest little money in a disposable non-talent act using auto tune for a year and after their buzz is up there are 50 more on deck to choose from and rinse and repeat.

Since 2020 rap has gone really downhill. Just bytches talking abt shaking their ass and nikkas killing other nikkas. African and Latin music is a lot more chill. I like Burna boy

lil baby and lil durk don’t have the start power as drake, cole, or Kendrick. Afro beats and Latin music are producing more superstars.

Are the falling off or not being funded anymore?

 

[Voice of Reason]

Jersey club will take the mantle NOT Afrobeats

 

[Awesome Wells]

It's true.

The labels can't invest in Hip Hop anymore, with the way they've set it up. They turned it into a microwave industry and then suffered when their own formula failed to make them any money. So now they're shifting to whatever they can make some bread off of.

Everything has its time. At one point Reggae/dance hall was on top.
