back in the day, they used artists to sell music. Now they use "music" to sell us the artists. The "fans" are more concerned with 1st weeks sales, #1 hits, how someone dresses, their finances, and what they are driving than the actual music.


Fans are definitely more into their persona than the music.

One thing you and many people miss with arguments like these is the fact that art is a relationship between artist and consumer. Rarely are artists successful only because of the music

You don't get a Pac with AI. Nor do you get a Taylor Swift, or a Jay Z. Whoever. It's not just about the music being good, it's about the entire package of a person presenting themselves to the world

Mind you we're in a thread talking about young hip hop streamers who often stream with rappers. That interest is there because of an interest as these entities as people
Wait till AI gets so advanced they can make them into a being. Earth is cooked.

Its true, and this is the Unc status creeping up on me, but I hate it. These nikkas add nothing beneficial to the world beyond their own pockets. IDK how much of that brain rot shyt can even be classified as content. Its literally just prolonged retardation. But kids are fukking stupid so this makes sense tbh

i just googled average monthly viewers of kai cenat streams and it's nothing compared to a rappers monthly listeners
men lie, women lie, numbers dont.

i really didn't even have to google this to know better tbh. a lot of yall need to get into the habit of thinking twice.

Im out of touch with the stream world.

Had no idea who Kai Cenat was until he recently had Nicki Minaj and John Cena eating McDonald's.

Duke Dennis was at a Colorado Buffalo game in the locker and ESPN made a big deal about it. I was confused and thought he was some big time high school recruit.

Never would have thought people would become famous and make millions steaming themselves doing regular everyday activities. Very strange to me.
