@ bolded U just had someone in Raury who like chance caters to you "positive music only" nikkas. nikka was getting publicity and funny enough was on Chances album to this year.
Theres nothing wrong with having connects. But when you parade yourself as a rarefeat for indie artist and what many like u should strive to be it's a problem.
@2nd bolded
at people love it. The shyt has probably not even sold 100k as its first week sales was only 38 k. Considering all the love and cosigning he been getting 38 is not impressive, infact that's poor sales. hell ATCQ did better than him.
When did I ever say I was a Positive Music Only nikka? I can appreciate multiple different styles of what's around but I said, there's a ton of what's already available, and Chance is different from that. I'll give you Raury, but consider how different Raury is from even Chance. The music was good, I personally thought it was great. Did it sell? No. But, I still enjoyed it. Just because Raury flopped doesn't mean everyone is doomed to that road though. The fact that he was even able to get the amount of attention that he did is impressive, considering the climate of how rap is and what he makes as an artist.
Do I think it's going to be extremely common to go pull a Chance and have the same level of success right now? No, because for one thing, that would be assuming the artists in question are willing to do a lot of the heavy lifting... Which, many aren't. That's why they go sign a major. I do think that given certain circumstances and with the drive and hustle of an artist, combined with an excellent team, an artist can go very far. Strange Music is an independent label that's doing fine, so it's perfectly doable. Not easy, but doable.
As for your second point, you're cherry picking. Yes, it sold 38k first week, but that was first an Apple Exclusive until May 27th. That plays a huge factor, considering people have Spotify which is much more accessible, and Tidal. Also keep in mind that the tape was on Datpiff for a day, then it was taken down. Nobody's expecting Chance to go do Drake numbers when he's not even established like that, but that's not the point. Plus, the tape in itself has gotten rave reviews all across the board, AND it's also nominated for Best Rap Album at the Grammys, the first mixtape to ever be qualified for that. I don't think we can say that's an unimpressive achievement at all.
dont remind me.
they the real mvps to why that there
. THIS IS WHY THIS nikka IS BIG OUT OF NOWHERE
