I don't think it was a diss but rather a tone-deaf statement, the dude has made so much stuff that isn't hiphop yet he blowed up with a hip-hop song, Budden said it, saying that he wanted to be more or that he wasn't only a hiphop artist would have been a better way to phrase it.

I still have the belief that tik tok an app that utilizes short clips of music is the reason we have so many one hit wonders/industry plants. Streams and sales go up cus it’s viral on tik tok, (gets overplayed quick), falls off. And keep in mind it’s taste of younger generation mainly. Real talent doesn’t float to the top for music on the app, the catchiest parts get played,even if the song trash.

[@kingmatolo8381]

I DISAGREE. How people listen to music and discover new music changes with time. When MTV base launched, artists who had their music videos playing on MTV were the ones topping the charts. So more artists started investing in music videos. MTV base is how many people discovered new music. Then came KZbin.... Fast forward to 2020s, today people discover new music through social. Going viral TikTok, IG, Facebook can help an artist get a hit. If established artists like Justin Timberlake, Gaga, Katy Perry and more are doing TikTok trends. TikTok is just a MEDIUM. TikTok is neither good or bad. There will be something else after TikTok just like there used to be MTV base before

The thing about the segment at 19:22 is simple: just because you have "millions" of followers on social media doesn't mean that the translats to sales. Some are bots, some are just there for the clout, but very few are actual sales. These artists and label executives fail to realize that.

You know how you can see a funny text think it’s hilarious but not even smile, that’s how current rap is. There are so many albums that sound good and check all the boxes but will never get a second play

i dont really understand why all these rappers are spending money on iced out jewels and watches and big designer brands and i sometimes feel like they pretending to be somebody else when they were exposed to money and fame....

Their biggest problem is they forget to work the album if you believe in the music tlyea it sucks that the first week was no good but keep being busy on social media keep dropping videos you can keep the album going, they always quit

26:35 this generation is HOPELESS when 110 THOUSAND FIRST WEEK SALES IS A "FLOP"

If the company you're with is a big company then it is a flop. If you're an independent doing this out of your house it's a hit.

Honestly, at this day and age full length albums just aren't the way to go with upcoming hip hop artists. They should just trickle out a single every month or so.

[@user-rl1vd2lu9x]

Coi actually had a strong debut album imo. But I think people got caught up on the first week numbers and never gave it a chance so it flopped. And I feel like it threw her off course a little bit.

[@lynnpear20]

Then she got dropped because Republic put a lot of money into her first album with all those features then she signed with another label foolishly and just got dropped from them as well so her whole career is in limbo right now

[@TheBucknasty89]

She never really had a chance....be honest she's not the greatest artist

[@itsmerochell3299]

Lets be honest nobody buys music anymore so of course the sales gonna be low

[@JoeDirtisawsome]

So explain the irher artists who're going gold and platinum

[@itsmerochell3299]

@JoeDirtisawsome the last person to go gold or platinum was SZA in '23 so again nobody is buying albums only streaming. Why pay when u can listen to the whole album on utube or pay for a streaming service for the same price of one cd...hell don't anybody even buy cds anymore 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

[@hecetewest5411]

@@itsmerochell3299streams are counted in sales, every 150 streams counts as a sale of a single song, and 10 songs is considered an album. So for every 1500 streams (which is extremely low in the grand scheme) it’s a sale. “Of course the sales gonna be low” isn’t correct, as not only are actual physical and digital album sales pretty much zero for a lot of these, but their streams are also abysmal.

[@Kirasfox]

Taylor Swift has consistently sold albums. If you add a niche and fun for ur fans, then it should be good

[@itsmerochell3299]

@Kirasfox I'm positive that they go by both albums sold and streaming songs. Her album the tortured poets just went 6x platinum in which the album was streamed over 6 million times which is way easier to do then selling 6 million albums alone like back in the days before when u had to buy the album or tape if u wanted a copy...unless u dubbed it from the radio on a tape

[@wokewokerton8092]

Labels do look at sales though, so if people are after deals still, it does matter. For the consumer.... not so much.

[@J.P.G.78]

Blame the artist not the company, it's their greed that put them in the position they are in, not the love of the music. They turned their back on their gift for money and fame and found out ..the end

[@gh0rochi363]

Look I'm a hip hop head. I love other friends of music but hip hop is my heart first. If i get into an artist as a hip hop artist and they say they aren't hip hop artists I'll just not listen. Not because they were ungrateful to the culture, but because they tells me you're not going to give me what i want from you. Maybe you host aren't for me, and that just the song is. I think other hip hop heads feel the same. When we're looking for hip hop that's what I want. When I'm looking for rock or pop I'm looking for those.

[@specialbreedsb78]

Imagine the feeling of knowing there's 8billion people in the world and you couldn't even sell 20,000 units..

Most people can't sell a single song. Most people wouldn't even attempt. So selling 20,000 is still good. I'm sure that's 20,000 more than you correct 🙃

I actually respected Tommy for saying he’s not a hip hop artist because I don’t really see it like we saw it with early Post Malone. My problem is when he said that but didn’t stand on business and still submitted “Million Dollar Baby” as a hip hop song for the grammy awards.

[@Junior13113]

Saying that you’re going to quit making music if you don’t see the numbers you want to see is such an awful mindset to have as an artist. It exposes that sales and numbers is all that matters to you (which was probably already obvious, but the point stands).

[@blackdragon6]

People don't want to hear this but, this is more reflective of the genre, industry and "fans" than the artists themselves. Hip-hop is dead in the mainstream. But I'm ok with this tho 😂

Tommy messed up by not putting his 2 smash hit songs on the album..😂 he would have sold minimum 10k off just those 2 songs

@5:30 this whole rant is why Coi Leray flopped. She should be worried about making good music and improving her craft. Once she built a fanbase money will follow. But all she cares about is the algorithm and making money. If you can't consistently turn out good music then you can't sustain a career.

Same as Jennie from BlackPink w/her new single Mantra when she sang "All that ass" b1tch where? She didn't even hire dancers who had booty they were all as flat as her. I was embarrassed for her, but her fans are loyal AND blind. They're really over there w/"Blackpink is the Revolution" & think they're some sort of feminist icons when all their hits were written by a man (Teddy Park) & they barely have any input at all into their styling or anything, but people eat it up like candy. Currently, they're the highest subscribed music channel on KZbin w/91 million subscribers & get a billion streams on Spotify everyday. Proof good marketing will take you a LONG LONG way. I've learned that people don't care about authenticity. They care about acting authentic. This is why Drake is as big as he is. Lying about "Started from the bottom" The mthrfckr was never at any bottom. He doesn't know about dinner being a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. "Clowns to the left of me/Jokers to the right..." FRFR
