Why are old school rappers selling out tours while new school struggle?

[Harry B]

This thread is a flat out lie.

You are comparing 2 old school artists (one of which is a collabo between like 8 rappers) selling out or almost selling out with 30-70 buck tickets.
A lot of times in small venues in smaller cities

To a solo Lil Baby not selling out NBA size arenas with 100-300 dollar tickets in the middle of nowhere


It's obvious that a person like Baby is about money and the look first.

nikkas in this thread arguing about nothin. That article didn’t give one example of who is or isn’t selling out tours so this thread is just posters saying their favorite artists do sell out shows while the artists they don’t fukk with don’t sell out shows

Only a few OG artists selling out decent sized venues while the rest are performing in hole in the wall venues in Montana

Because of cheap tickets and because they tour together.

Lil Baby had to cancel tour dates because he overextended himself in certain markets and his tickets weren’t cheap.

Dude states a lie and people discuss it like it's a fact.

"How could Pippen always outscore Jordan"

"Well, first, Pippen played 15 minutes more per game, the fukk you think"

ITs funny people are using the older route and the Nas/Wu show here was mostly old heads but they had hella zoomers there with wu shirts.

Facts. I can confirm this when I saw them in Charlotte last year.

Same in South Florida and NYC...plenty of zoomers who either went with their parents or are the subset that's into 90s music
