Reality................
Young Thug still has a fanbase that is majority freeloader, broke, dusty, thot, twerk, shitty draws, stank behind the ears, dirty neck category. Science has proved that catering to those types get you nothing but "free numbers". It's not going to get him nowhere close to J.Cole, K.Dot, Kanye status.
Times been changed..........science has told us a couple of years ago where the ignorant industry had went wrong as it blamed the internet for sales being bad. Yet.....people today still haven't learned that lesson yet......still on that broke shit........the music sound broke......to hear the material sounds of money and pussy is primitive. You can't speak on nothing if all you know is that broke nigga shit. Broke niggas when they were broke always spoke what the hood and rappers who came from the hood speak.......and it had it's RUN! Instead of looking around and actually saying something......rappers in the hood saying shit that rappers who were ain't from the hood saying. We in the era now of speaking your mind......which of course a lot of people will not have a mind to speak but will know what's on everyone's mind and how the majority rule.....then show me some tits.....
Lil Wayne is an actual artist. Like him or not, he knows how to put together songs. Problem is that shit is changing too fast for "change up" type of rappers who change with the season. Which is why I said it's a blessing that Lil Wayne's album got pushed back. It was probably dated...probably sounded like some shit Young Thug is gone put out.......broke people shit. Now Lil Wayne can either sit and think how he is gone top these AWESOME albums that have released so far........or stick with the bum ass sounds of the new cats that will not hold a solid name due to their primitive mindsets of how the rap game was verses how it has changed. Fuuck it....if it only about sales and boosting status....pay Chris Brown to collab on a whole album with you. You ain't gone get it on your own.....better act like you running for president before you release an album.....like J.Cole........stole his swag from Obama.......these rappers stealing broke nigga's swags......J.Cole smart........YES WE CAN!!!
But yeah........that keeping real for "freeloaders" era has been exposed. Now that the focus is not on them, we are back on regular scheduled programming to brainwash people to get record sales.......with the catch of making it "sound great".....since we've been used to that bummy ass broke, no job having ass sound. People got money now....people got jobs, people are back to running their own businesses......the topics are becoming realler......you want to hear some dumbshit hell you can get that for free.
But.........beatmakers have benefited off that broke sound and still do. Yo asses getting handed to you today by Timbo and Pharrell adding their name and spin on that broke sound to make it sound like something worth money.
Sorry yall......the old Rick Ross strategy in your heads.....and hopes.....is a dated thought process........rappers ain't breaking producers no more....
