4batz Has a Hit With Drake, Joe Budden Questions How It Happened

[@jfraz1992]

It already was a hit before Drake hopped on it

[@Minednam]

Because it was posted by influencers.

[@redcoyle6886]

The song was out for a week

[@watermaster4913]

@@redcoyle6886no it wasn’t it’s been for months like why say something that can be proven false by one KZbin search

[@Feeling_So_Gabe]

They really underestimate the effect of social media on artists careers. Tiktok really made a ton of careers in a short amount of time.

[@amajorthemusician]

And most of those careers lasted a short amount of time. Not one of them became a Drake, Taylor or Beyoncé…

[@Waters..]

@@amajorthemusicianexactly! They get their fame for a year but they just don’t last.

[@amajorthemusician]

@@Waters.. At all fam!

[@BlickyMinaj]

He doesn’t even have 1M followers on TikTok. His growth isn’t from social media. His first insta post is from like November

[@Rio-uv1gs]

​@@amajorthemusician because it isn't authentic music like back in the day..Music is contrived nowadays..it is what it is

[@El.Papi.Gordo_]

It worked for bleu, migos, summer walker, lil baby and others too... Its on that artist to take the exposure and use it to their advantage.

[@arob_3k]

Timbaland shared the song and tagged Drake to jump on it like 2 months ago. Song is 🔥

[@elloy-x-amg]

True...

[@Jiggysavvy]

Timberland was the one suggesting Drake to get on the song

[@bigearthintuitive]

Melissa be cursing y’all out finally 😂 I love it

[@ReelEnigmasandTheories]

The 2min song is becoming a big thing. If the record is dope, being short gives it replay value.

[@shakimbush8827]

Seems like you’re looking at it from a business perspective and not an artstic perspective.

[@jamerv777smerf]

​@shakimbush8827 people might hit you with the devils advocate and be like well it is the music business after all. But the artist has the final say cuz they gotta perform it. If they don't like what the artist says then they'll prolly get dropped or their own label turn on them like they did with meg, Chris brown, post Malone etc. Lol like the label you on literally won't promote you. Unless your indie of course

[@sgvmvp]

DOOM already did it

[@anchelomusic]

Short albums as well. Attention span has been decreasing

[@ceelothatmane9421]

Replay value for simple minds yeah

[@cindymartinez9100]

I'm from Dallas no one's heard of him. No hip hop media knows him in Dallas. No one from his hood highland hills knows him.

[@BapeBully]

I know him and im from there too he used to always walk round there

[@whateverman23]

I think people just need to realize that even with the internet the world is a big place. Just because something isn’t popping in your circle doesn’t mean it’s not popping.

[@StaceyFoxx]

BOOM

[@Fent-]

He’s an AI voice industry experiment. No videos of him talking.

[@ryanafrica358]

heard of vocal editing?

[@boyab696]

Ion think this aged well

[@hashtagfilthy]

Timbaland was on live and told Drake to get on this a month or two ago.

[@jimmyjones3217]

facts thats how i found out about 4batss

[@Henry-kv7zl]

Y’all don’t think that could be part of a rollout? Second person to comment this as if it explains 2 songs 10 mil listeners… outta nowhere…

[@hashtagfilthy]

@@Henry-kv7zl he already had it before Drake and the remix ain’t allat. I was saying what Joe said about how the boy should have just rapped over the original beat the switch up wasn’t necessary.

[@ohgeez4354]

I think me and everybody I know. heard that one song on Instagram where the microphone was in the middle of a park or some shit and it's a 2-minute slap. these anomalies happen

[@elDiego1999]

200 for your fucking nails.

[@nckgmz83]

Drake was late this time around. But one thing I realized is he’s doing these artists a favor. Like the QM thing. He could have said anything on those beats. He’s Drake and he built his fan base that way. It just so happens he slick with words on his own.

[@MrJ1S]

The voice compared to appearance is what makes him stick out artistically...and...his manager is the creative director for RCA records So it got the push to make sure we see it....thats the kind a manger u sign to early lol

[@illgoat]

This is the only comment I've seen so far that explains why he's blown up so quickly and actually makes sense

[@hennyknows]

yup and Kai reacting to it started the viral moment he is having

[@klxo14]

I love how this turned into a fetty wap discussion in the middle cause that felt organic

[@robertmendozanasty]

[@antrionhill1451]

I’m from Dallas never heard of him but I’m glad to see artists coming out from the city

[@PhellaVision]

Timbaland might be the reason for that collaboration. He called it out the first time he heard that song

[@thammysarchive18902]

been waiting for this one

[@jamerv777smerf]

Excellent take. Best podcast in the world i keep saying it lol. And i agree with Joe. Having something like that early on could be harmful. You need foundation to fall back on so it won't look like you just popped outta nowhere. Foundation builds longevity

[@worlddomination2888]

I dont get it. Stupid sh*t goes crazy viral on the internet all the time . Why is it so hard to believe a good song can ?

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

4Batz is a talented writer but his music feels like a diluted emo/homo-adjacent version of what T-Pain gave us in the 00’s with Brent Faiyaz as a aesthetic and maybe even musical inspiration. It feels gimmicky. Let’s be real, after hearing Frank, Lucky Daye, and a legion of other artist use that voice effect, this was simply inevitable.

[@parkshermoso1012]

Thats just called an artist takeing inspiration from other artists

[@papertiger9845]

Carti been using that effect for forever, so have hella hyper pop rappers.

[@lyleholland2803]

[@KaosCoyote]

I knew he was going to blow up when Act 1 was a KZbin ad for me back in September/October

[@KikoCpapiC]

The issue is signing to drake not the feature

[@EazyIzzy]

I think two things could be true at the same time. Anybody getting 10 million monthly listners after only 3 months & 3 songs is highly suspect! It does seem plant ish However, lets not act like this shit ant fire. So much so...i dont really care about the metrics of his success. Its good music at least. Its not trash. Its catchy & hes got a nice pocket going on. Besides, hed be accused of being a plant no matter how long it took him to blow up so🤷‍♂️

[@isaiahsingleton6283]

Yeah, they would have said he was a plant no matter what for sure. Haters of Tyla are saying the exact same thing & ol girl only been here 5 fucking minutes😂

[@cartrellbouknight410]

@@kboww88no… we just want to understand how it works its billion of songs that hit but none go far and no one knows why… but the answer is clear that nepotism is there and payola and that’s fair game but the artist that aren’t appreciated or feel like it is cause how do play the secret games in the secret club if you have no leverage to get in a hit cost 3m for the average nobody artists but for some maybe 500-750k if you know someone

I don’t advocate or endorse everything. I hope it gets better! Real music hasn’t died! But what are we pushing! Not ever giving up on music! There are people still doing well. The majority rather than the minority can thrive. Weather they believe or not! If they develop and continue supporting the artists as much as they are of course able to. They would see that return on investment. Rather be a positive influence! Creating equal opportunities so few individuals don’t cry in the future! 😊Coy😂! Just funny!

[@DallasLive306]

I know exactly what Joe Budden is talking about when referring to Drake getting on Fetty Wap song and Drake did not push it like the song with his so that’s why that song did not really do much for his career as much as just being a hit song him momentarily, so that’s what Joe was talking about. Drake has a habit of riding the wave of a younger, newer artist that’s having traction, but he’s only doing it for marketing purpose if they get his name out of more and become more popular, and to become more appealing to a younger crowd

[@AdjectiveCloset]
