Theodore breh and associates
One of those links led me to a track I haven't heard in a minute.
i would like to thank these two brehs for closing so many deals for me back in my younger hiding in hoes closest days when their parents came home early from work via panty dropper mixtapes..

Subway could sing, breh



I swear I recall reading something crazy about how great singers aren't completely wanted nowadays in mainstream b/c the fans can't sing like them in their car when they're singing along. And so the lesser talented(studio made) singers are preferred b/c they can be more easily mimicked.

I know I didnt just make that up.

And if you think about it, all these shows like The Voice, X-Factor, Idol,etc...these ppl can really sing once they get down the finalist, but yet despite their talent, very few of them blow up afterwards.

(maaaaaaaaaaaaaan some of the comments... I love Janet, but she's not Whitney, yet one person praised Janet's voice and a second person dared to say that 'anybody could outsing Whitney today', a third saying Christina, Mariah and Whitney were overrated as vocalists......... crap like that is why what the article says feels true.)

It's so crazy how much shyt has changed. I might sound old but I'm glad I grew up in an era where singers could sing. Feel a little sad for these young kids

Breh........I'm a 70's baby. NONE of these 'artists' nowadays can actually 'sing' IMO........

Yeah, he raps some too. I fukk with his music, but I just shake my head at the videos he drops for his shyt :mjlol:

I'll hear the songs he puts out and be like this shyt hard af... then I see that he dropped a video for it a month later and I'm like :gladbron:


"Ah shyt this gonna be dope"

Usually the video enhances the song for you after you've heard it, but not always I guess, lol

Just came across this cat from my SoundCloud stream a few days ago. Listened to his tape, and he sounds kinda like John Legend on some of his songs. That's the only video he's dropped though
