Everyday Struggle Official Discussion

[XannyWarbucks]

Yeah that Young Jeezy episode was one of the worst hours of youtube ever. Jeezy really sat up there and did an hour of artist-babble. "Yeah mean, life is like a movie....I been in crack houses....I know real hustlas...I bought my mama a crib...I done seen real shyt...I been at meeting with billionaires". .

Rappers are fukking boring to interview. Only nikkas that are fun to interview are dudes like Kanye, who is so out of his mind that it's more about his state of mind than the actual interview himself. And dudes like, Snoop and Pharrell, because they're down to talk about anything and don't give a fukk about a couple of nikkas from the hood calling them fake, because they're being open in an interview.

Most of these dudes got no humility, and fukking enormous egos, so shyt is always going to be some "I make money... money... muh money tho." bull shyt.

Since I dont know and u do...tell me the numbers he getting on both ends so I can be informed

Ak subscriber count is in 6 figures

Twitch subs are $5 a month

These gamers eating lovely

Everyday Struggle wasn't a money move it was a chance to be exposed to a different audience.

And we know Ak is a groupie so meeting rappers was likely enticing

lets see Ak try and have a conversation with Rapsody without Joe

Joe doesn't know shyt about Rapsody like that either , stop it slime you meathugging

i don't blame nadeska for how things turned out.

unlike akademiks and budden, she doesn't have her own thing going on. she doesn't have youtube. she doesn't have her own podcast. she doesn't have her own revenue stream outside of complex.

she's just a hip-hop journalist (which is a dime a dozen), but for her sake she better figure out what she wants to do in the future.

a lot of people that used to work for complex use complex as a stepping stone to bigger and better things. desus & mero, emily oberg, lawrence schlossman, james harris, tamara dhia, alex hudgens, etc

she should use the spotlight while she has it has to see what she can do with that spotlight to move on from complex.

I never subscribed to any of their channels. Even when none of the episodes would pop up in my suggested view list after watching the shows for weeks. They really tried to get muhfukkas to sub, lol. I've never seen that... I'm literally watch this show for a month and they never showed up in my recommended suggestions cause they wanted muhfukkas to sub to see the content

I literally wondered about this for months....I might get the snippets recommended but never full eps. Complex tho, still never subbed. Now never will....

 

[Ardamus]

You know what, I'm not mad at Joe while I'm listening to this podcast. Complex tried to get them to advertise but didn't share the revenue. Guess it was written in the contract but still. Inserting playlists into a conversation but not coughing up the money? They do that shyt in movies and companies cough up the bread.

I wish Joe was still there so he can clown that t-shirt.

I'm sure she would be alright, she did rapfix live with sway in the past, she interviews big acts like Chris Brown, she has connections and I'm sure any hiphop publication would snatch her up including MTV. I could even imagine her being a contributor to that TRL thing they are doing.

BTW anyone watch the new TRL with DC Young Fly and those white folks? I haven't watched it yet with the exception of the dipset interview without cam.

I sent my resume for it, but those b*stards never responded. So I'm never watching, and I hope that shot fails.

 

[really tho]

Dislike squad. Those numbers tho

On a real note, shyt is apparently doing terribly. Nobody is going to watch MTV for sanitized interviews, especially with shyt like Twitter. MTV shut down their entire news division, just to waste a bunch of money on nostalgia.

nadeska is rich she doesn't have anything to worry about

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Damn..those dislikes

My only problem with the dislike movement is that their still getting views. Yesterday's ES episode had like 250k views the last time I checked, so Complex might be fine with it if people have to watch ads to dislike.

There's a thread about Viacom's ratings on The Film Room and I mentioned how the format was jacked on day one. It was basically a white teen summit with no videos and some performances since the beginning.
