All those guys had their time to become artists to then make money off their shyt. And not for nothing your naming like the top artists in the world. Madlib is like the most introvwrted producer in rap and is a prime example of what I am talking about. He lets his music speak for himself.All of these people are not "influencers".
They're working musicians who primarily eat off of their music and if they aren't currently doing it, then that is their goal.
Jazz guys.
Rock guys.
Hip-Hop Guys.
R&B guys.
I've met and seen them all.
They're just as much "Artists" as anyone else.
And when I say they are associated with NAMES, I mean NAMES like people that are
literally posted about on here. lol.
Madlib.
Adrian Younge.
NavyBlue.
And several others.
Not tryna give myself away but TheColi has no idea what it's like for people tryna
do music without a stable income.
Most of these new rappers today do not. They wanna blow up quick n fast with empty art. Those people are not madlib or those names you listed.
Theres a reason madlib aint doing interviews and all that shyt. Hes an actual artist. This is my point im trying to make. You just made it for me.
If madlib had to do social media he wouldnt be a musician. If he had to sit down every week and promote projects and take videos and start the “madlib brand”. Giy has like 6 interviews his entire life. Ive only seen him like 10x period.
He purposely avoids all that shyt. He may be tryna push his shyt out for money cause he is now in the game and he is now in a position to. Had stones throw not invested in Him who knows what he be doing rn. His parents were also musicians who made a living its totally different for him than 99% of people tryna make it. Hes been a musician his entire life Thats not the average come up of a rapper.
The artist to fake ratio in the game is wildly disproportionate. I think we both know this. Social media dissuades actual artists. Madlib flourished cause he had label backing and money behind him from people who truly believed in the art he made. Allowing him the time to create instead of promote. Diff ball game than everyone on the comeup.
