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.
Yeah she can use this as a way to secure a label, publication or network bag for sure. Seen people that seemingly do less than her make great moves from Complex.
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.
Well she's a Complex employee and has been since probably Rapfix Live ended, so she's set regardless if the show goes on or not.
She had no "it" factor
She didn't really need an it factor tho. She was brought on in the Moderator role. Ak and Joe are supposed to do the heavy lifting/debating while she keeps the topics focused.
