What the hell happened to Ab-Soul....?

[UserNameless]

TDE happened to him
Son knows he's a benchwarmer on a team who's starting 5 consists of:
Kendrick Lamar
K. Dot
Duckworth
Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar
Notice how every artist who is not named Kendrick has declined in quality since signing

 

[KravenMorehead™]

I respect his team spirit but breh got his whole career set up in his mind and they tryna fit him in a bullshyt itinerary/protocol. Like nikkas is gettin any younger. Between a rock and a hard place

 

[tuckgod]

Soul was by far my favorite TDE artist at one time

 

[Chip Skylark]

Rock got issues with TDE?

And yea, that label is actually more antagonistic to people who are fans of the whole black hippy/tde pre - GKMC. They've ignored us with their stupid way of releasing projects, dudes need to understand each of those artists has a ceiling, some higher than others, but there's real fans out here who want music from these guys. I'm highly annoyed by that label

The thing wth Jay Rock is, a lot people don't know he was signed to Strange Music not TDE. I honestly forgot myself and that's the reason why we didn't hear anything from him was because of his contract. TDE really dropped the ball with him because it was 4 years between projects. They didn't attempt to get any kind of buzz by dropping mixtape. I'm not going to put it all on them cause he should've been putting in work by dropping tapes and doing freestyles everywhere. They simply tried to use Kendrick to sell him. His album dropped, we got the vice city video with black hippy (anther failed push) and that was it. He came and went in the matter of two to three weeks.

the man was beating up yaris sanchez...shes nice though. cant blame him for missing those cookies over a few singles. lmao

 

[MikeyC]

Yeah but, if you let your career and output take a considerable hit because of a woman, is it really a win?

Yes. Yes it is.

 

[Yaboysix]

Soulo won.

Was Bout to come in here with some deep rant about how different solo's music is now..but after seeing his ole lady..

Wow I never knew that. In the back of my mind, I was always wondering what he been up to and that's kinda sad. Seriously, TDE has sooooo much potential. I feel like after K.Dot signing with Aftermath and Interscope, and Q with Interscope things wasn't gonna be same, but I feel like I'm seeing more bad than good.

Control System was his best project I didn't see how you can say last two albums were trash

These Days was extremely disjointed though, seemed like a bunch of studio leftovers thrown together.

I just hope one day we get that "Book Of Soul" album with Alchemist people were talking about.

 

[ThaRealness]

I miss that early 2010s () TDE sound

 

[AMcV'88]

A fluke ? What ?

Dude dropped a lot of great songs out of that project. These Days was just too unfocused and negatively experimental

basically your agreeing with what i'm saying.

i said he has one great project and the rest range between boring or poor with some dope songs here and there.
unless future projects are on the level of Control System or better it will look like a fluke...which theres nothing wrong with.

 

[Bbwlover504]

You're not alone. I understand artists have to grow but damn I miss that raw hip hop sound they had before.

 

[mortuus est]
