Fool. Black Twitter isn't the world. I know nikkaz who've never even used Twitter, let alone Vine



Point being, nikkaz heard the song ONLY becuz of Radio and young nikkaz singin it.


It wasn't something that every Black Person heard and just gravitated to. shyt's forced down our throats like every new Beyonce song that comes out

They don't call it "radio programming" for nothing
thank you. Cats act like NOBODY listens to the radio anymore. Thats wrong. Millions and millions of people tune in everyday. People listen to and from work, sitting in traffic, AT work, etc. There's a reason some of the highest paid radio Dj's are making 6-7 figures. Radio is still extremely influential. Corporations are still paying good money for 30second ads. And lets not forget about the practice of Payola. Ask an up-and-coming artist if radio exposure would be important for his or her career or not.
So everyone stop playing dumb and pretending like thread starter is imagining things or being paranoid
yea, it kills me when i make threads like this and cats want to make it seem like im the only one with these thoughts. This has been debated about for 20 years now. Ive been called all sorts of "c00n" for my opinions of this toxic hiphop culture. They must HATE Dr. Boyce:pachaha:

We just need balance ain't nothing wrong with ratchet music but we should at least be given variety with the same amount of financial backing for marketing because they do market the hell out of the "stripper" lifestyle

The stripper lifestyle is creating young thots :sadcam:

Seriously, this type of shyt will make us the next Native Americans if we dont act quick

In this day and age twitter is the world, the original video was at like 40M views, that's the world breh, shyt was hot in NY way before the radio picked it up. You talking about nikkas who are so out of touch they ain't effecting no trends anyway. The songs come up was organic as it gets, you have no point, you went from alluding some label involvement to comparing it to a Beyonce single :comeon:

Or you just went from all over the place to all over the place.




Again, I know nikkaz (I can say that word, but oh the irony) who've never even used Twitter, let alone Vine. 40million views is nothing to spit on but let's not pretend that it was 40million different people



And I did my homework on Shmurda when he blew. Apparently he was poppin overseas before over here (Nationally).










Your arguments are fluke tho. NOTHING is really Organic. You're not going to tell me that 6 year olds and Teenagers and Grown Ass Adults were on their Cellphones pressed to call the Radio to request "Hot nikka". :comeon:. Not only is that argument fukkin silly but you gotta really be drinkin the KoolAid to believe anything like that

And for the record I fukk with Bobby Shmurda and his songs. But ain't no way that shyt should've been on the Radio






Really tho, "Hot nikka", "Try Me", and "Coco" were the biggest songs (arguably) of 2014, Rap wise.



Let's not play stupid for the sake of a bullshyt debate
