This thread and the previous thread about TDE/Reason drama are getting way more posts than his actual album thread, which wasn't even sticky'd. Tells you everything you need to know. I pride myself in completing albums I listen to whether I like them or not but even I tapped out after 9 songs. It's the most generic shyt imaginable, with some of the worst hooks you'll hear all year. You can literally hear him studying Kendrick/Cole/Drake/etc type rappers and trying to check off the boxes...without the talent or personality
I didn’t listen to the album but I’ve heard enough Reason songs to believe what you’re saying is accurate. I mean even his name “Reason” tells it all.

Reason is genuinely a good rapper too :yeshrug:


Breh gets way too much heat for some reason, doesn’t be in drama like that fr…just makes music for the most part, good music too at that

Yup I fukk with Reas, he doesn't bother anybody. I've enjoyed both his albums.

Low key he has the same amount of Monthly Streams as Ab Soul at 1.3m monthly and that's with half the catalogue. His last album sold out of all physicals and the CD still goes for $50 USD on discogs. He's got fans.

He needs to go to Dreamville and do a joint album with Cozz, it's clear he thought TDE would operate like a family where the artists support each other but it isn't that at all for these second gen artists.

Well said, not just reason either like you said all the 2nd gen artists are getting shafted like this. We were given the run around about Isaiah when he came out and the narrative was "oh well he's an alcoholic and has to work out his personal life" back then, fast forward now and ALL of them are getting treated like this.

But yeah, I think everyone would get behind a joint cozz album, chemistry is undeniable

It might be gone now but yesterday I saw Top's IG story and it had footage of himself and a couple other TDE guys at the release party. And I noticed even in the original Reason clip where he said nobody showed up, a few minutes later he admitted a couple people showed up. Just a weird situation and I'm not sure why TDE even bothers to keep dealing with this or vice versa. Just let him out his contract so both can move on. That's not to absolve TDE, clearly they fukked up first. I'm just saying if this dude is only making you a small amount of money compared to the dough you rake in from SZA and Kdot's old albums, why not say fukk it and move on. In 2-3 years we'll be back in the same situation with him not being allowed to drop lol.

Might as well take that TDE out his username
Nah, cause if anyone just searches "Reason" online, he won't pop up. He has one of the WOAT stage names for SEO purposes.

If you have a name that's spelled the same as a common word in the dictionary you need to have special talent and success to validate it. Google Future and then you'll see the difference

:francis: Dude is the prime example of wrong artist to a assigned label. I tried bumping Reason and holy hell, dude is boring as all entire hell. He's basically Wale with gang ties. He's J Cole with jail tats. He's Logic with all black genes.

He will never amount to the levels of Soulo, Rock, SZA's BBL, and Lance Skiiiwalker. There's really nothing to him and for him to keep crying and moaning about his dud and mid-albums not hitting, along with TDE being incompetent assheads with marketing. Just settle for Bandcamp or just do a podcast since every failed rapper is doing such things nowadays.

Respecially tho :ehh:
Dying at Logic rapping "If my mom was Black I would have sold half"

What happened to Russ?
He became an internet meme, it became popular to say everything he does is trash. People rode on that bandwagon and now everything he does the comments and discourse is littered with troll comments.

Idk how it started tho. It's still publicity but it's completely taken control of his career narrative and you don't see a lot of people objectively discussing his music

well i would say this is mostly basic minded peoples fault because one word searches isn't the best way at all. i always try to teach my dad and my best friend how to do basic online searches lol. you gotta put a descriptor somewhere in the to get the best results.
if i want to find a rapper, i am gonna search "______ rapper" not just their name.
if i want a restaurant "_____ restaurant atlanta"

google "rapper reason" and boom...... what a difference one extra word makes.

end rant.
