    Really thought he’d blow up after his first few hits, but yeah somehow just slowly disappeared after that

      Too smart for the game/industry and he’s focused on family now. Majorly talented compared to most dudes doing it today. He’s not a drill/trap star so he was never gonna blow up like the other kids (Travis, pump, uzi).

        I think this is bullshit, no offense. This is a very common sentiment as to why someone’s favourite artist isnt big. The man had cosigns from Dre and co. but he inderdelivered on his album, too many soft tunes.

        Covid impacting him is legitimate but saying he doesnt fit the mold because he is lyrical or not mumbling is some low hanging fruit.

          You said it yourself. “Too many soft tunes”. Majority of people aren’t gonna appreciate something that’s not mainstream. No offense to other artists, just saying that he’s doing it differently than what the kids are buying these days. They want beats. Not verses.

            Yeah that is fair but I mean Anderson Paak, JID and plenty of others are putting on content thatbisnt mumble or drill all the while running a heavy buzz.

            That said I checked his monthly listeners, he isnt behind by any means but I just felt he got a huge buzz for a few months years ago and I dont hear anything anymore.

              Maybe I’m not tapped in but JID isn’t really putting out a lot of stuff.

              .Paak HUSTLES. His solo stuff is great but not so mainstream. His collab with Bruno is the biggest thing he’s done.

              I feel u tho. Cordae been quiet.

                Maybe it is because I like thendude but JID is everywhere from where I sit, 4 times as many monthlys as Cordae too. Dreamville is great at keeping an artist an individual while getting them big. Couldnt believe Bas had an audience the size he does.

                Paak amazing, free nationals are the shit.
