Roddy Ricch: How to Kill a Rap Career

Roddy Ricch was once one of the most explosive artists in the industry. He first got onto everyone's radar with his MASSIVE hit single "The Box" but didn't follow through with his seemingly "Drake levels" of momentum. However, when diving deeper into the story, you'll understand that his "downfall" isn't what its cracked out to be. And there are a lot of understandable reasons as too why his career would eventually lead to a decline.

@@Tristan-tj9uz Not really, you have to remember, once you've got it, people want to hear you do you, so as long as you're doing what they love you for you're going to make hit after hit until they get tired or you switch up. Roddy switched up more than once (I'm talking about his style). Look at Die Young, Down Below, Every Season, those songs are came up from the bottom music that everyone loved. He then started talking about a lot of fly sh*t that most people can't relate to so he slowly so a drop when it became repetitive. Then he made the Box which was a commercial song, he tried the same with Late At Night and High Fashion, it appealed to his TikToker fans but those guys are fickle and will jump on the next thing, so right now he's still trying to make those commercial songs not realising those fans were never going to stay down. Now his core fans have moved on because he lost their interest a long time ago when he traded them in for the quick run. His best bet is either being content with where he is or if he's lucky he can go the Tyga route and make chart music

Having your first major song be a mega hit is the biggest curse in hip hop. It happens throughout history… even recent history. “The Box” “Oouu” “Hot N!gga” huge first major songs that the artists could never recover from. When your first song is epic, it becomes bigger than the artist and the artist will never make another one because having a mega hit is a once in a lifetime thing

No one wants to hear Roddy or Travis Scott say a bunch of random shit that doesn’t rhyme in an autotune robot voice. It was cool back then, but it didn’t last.

Music industry is a fast paced, ever-changing industry. If you're not constantly churning out hits or keeping yourself in the limelight in some way, you're gonna fizzle out and be forgotten while some young up and comer takes your place. Roddy just doesn't put out enough music to stay relevant and a lot of his latest shit hasn't been up to par compared to his earlier songs. There's also the fact that music as a whole is an industry that relies on creativity and being a creative person, and creativity is something that can come and go as it pleases.

@@TopCongoDreamer Lol the issue is most of the guys that are big now, their music will only last for the now. Unless you're a Curren$y with a crazy fanbase, you need to be able to either adapt or have a sound that people just won't get tired of. Drake learned to adapt, Jay-Z has a sound people won't get tired of although he somewhat adapted. Lil Wayne is a prime example of having a sound that people will eventually get tired of, Migos too. Lil Baby might be one of the few from his era that will survive and it's not only because of the music but the brand he's build around his image but as he gets older, that "young and being fly" shit will die down and he'll need to adapt just like Meek has needed to grow up from the young reckless street n*gga.

@@PlayWitYoBitxh Idk anything about YB but I would argue it was a quality and repetitive issue in regards to Wayne because no one drops more frequently than Curren$y over the last decade yet his fan base has only grown. Of course, the scale level is different with Wayne but Drake drops frequently or he's always there, far more frequent than Jay and Drake run is getting up there. I always personally felt like Wayne had more mediocre music than top tier level music. Once in awhile he'd cross over to that top tier space but more often than not, I feel like it was a toss up.

[@hakshustletv]

@@PlayWitYoBitxh Drake dabbles in a variety of music although I will only really listen to his rap stuff like Gold Roses, Lemon Pepper Freestyle, Is There More etc... Also, I think you're right in terms of having your own fanbase and carving out your lane but if your goal is to be one of the driving forces in the game and you're not that then you're irrelevant in relation to your goals. Wayne is irrelevant currently, he doesn't shape trends, sounds, fashion or lifestyle choices like he used to, now that's the other young guys like Lil Baby, even Drake has that influence and he's been in the game for a minute. As for Roddy, if he doesn't have a solid fanbase who are all these people that are rocking with him? Where are all these YT streams and tens of millions of streams coming from? How is he able to continuously get tours and bookings? That's all I want to know because he's clearly still outdoing 99% of rappers out there, how is that possible without a fanbase.

I'll be real, the numbers may not be where it was at his peak but the music isn't trash either, he actually makes quality music lol A lot of people just moved on but he doesn't need a song like Box or Die Young to be successful. You have guys like Curren$y that have core fans and do better than most artists. People are forgetting, he's still outperforming 99% of artists even at this point but his early music did well because it resonated with people and hit home hard. Anyone from that environment can relate to his early music heavy. The issue is, he shouldn't force that if it isn't his reality anymore, it's like listening to Jeezy still talking about Yay as if he's still in the streets lol it doesn't sound good.

[@hakshustletv]

@PlayWitYoBitxh I think Roddy actually has that, I just think he isn't content with it, he wants to be peak Roddy forever, Curren$y is another one with a core fan base and can eat forever and I'm Roddy could but he's not content, someone like Curren$y or as you said YB can be content with their fanbase. Also, hell no lol Jeezy needs to stop, enough of the whipping talk, we know he ain't in the streets anymore and we know what he used to do, can't talk about the same ish forever and expect his early fanbase to still be there. All of us have graduated from the streets and have properties and sh*t and so does Jeezy he should be talking about the stuff he's doing now.

[@hakshustletv]

@PlayWitYoBitxh I'm not gonna mention that rat you mentioned but Roddy Chase the bag, Die Young, Every Season, Down Below, Fucc it up, Ricch Vibes, none of that was because of the industry. As for saying that rat outsold him, well then by your logic Durk isn't relevant because the rat also outsold Durk. If you're comparing him to when he released The Box, of course, he would appear to be irrelevant but the guy is still out here dopping songs getting millions of views, he's still getting 21 million streams a month on Spotify, how is that falling off lol To put it into perspective, Durk is seen as one of the hottest things right now, he only gets 10 million more streams on spotify than Roddy, Jeezy only gets 4 million monthly listeners, NBA youngboy only gets 18 million listeners so Roddy gets more listeners than both of them. That's why I said you guys are comparing him to his absolute peak, if we're not speaking relatively and just speaking in general, he's still one of the biggest names in the game.

[@hakshustletv]

@PlayWitYoBitxh I never said he's hot, I said he's still outdoing most of these rappers. Hot is Lil Baby, again I'm not going to mention that rat you keep mentioning but after this he'll fall off, people only wanted to hear what the rat had to say based on current events. And doing 21 million a month on spotify alone not including Tidal, Apple Music and other platforms means he's seeing hundreds of thousands at the very miminum every month off of streaming alone, not too many artists can say that and that doesn't include if he has a deal with these platforms which isn't unheard of meaning a higher payout ratio. If he was doing a million per video, 600k streams a month or some sh*t like that, I'd agree with you but if doing tens of millions of streams a month is falling off while still doing shows getting paid better than most, then I think a lot of the artists you think are doing well would rather be falling off exactly like Roddy 😂

I just found this account today and I love it! Subscribed!! 😎👑

[@atarakay9900]

“I will never sell my souuul” yet he has the one eye symbolism on his album cover

[@MrGrips11]

Fire video man

[@TooTall-gb8dd]

Shout out to Louaista for almost getting thru the whole script flawlessly. That “conjure” in the last minute sounded very teleprompted lol

[@isabellaharrington2317]

People are way too quick to say someone fell off

[@cfcverbalist]

It's been 2 years

[@dronepilot260rc]

He never sold his soul 🎉

[@jasperkalcutt1166]

i actually love roddy ricch icl. i think live life fast and feed the streets 3 aren’t his greatest pieces of work but aren’t bad at all either. there’s some great songs on them

[@imaagamer7011]

I get llf but feed tha streets 3 was an actual good project with good music

[@brianna_crawl]

Man I feel so sorry for him, I really hope he gets back on track soon

[@Theodinofcodin]

Editing Style is 🔥🔥🔥

[@bigant6146]

I honestly thought that his last 2 albums werent that bad, they def didnt top his debut but i enjoyed a lot of songs on both albums. I'd say hes pretty consistent and i dont understand why people hate on him so much. Think hes just having fun and trying to get that bag, never thought of him as a numbers guy.

[@TeflonDon451]

he was def a numbers guy, dude was dropping hit after hit 2019-2020. He still has the talent, I feel like he just got too complacent

[@ISMOYoutube]

Is my music fire ? I’ll make it one day claim your spot rn

[@prodbyryan808]

Please excuse me was generic. LLF was when he start branching out. FTS3 was a lot more personal. It's all about your purpose in listening to the music. A lot of people seem to not care for meaningful music so its not surprising to me that people are hating on his current work. As a artist hes only getting better imo.

[@student40008]

@@prodbyryan808 Yeah because '' blue cheese'' and ''aston martin truck'' are such deep songs, right?

[@blackmachismo08]

Honestly, I will make the argument that an artist performing live should put on a show when performing and not just minimum effort in other genres of music the artist that put on good performances tend to gain more traction and respect from their fan base I think rap artist should definitely be held to a higher standard for their performances

[@marfo_nimoh]

BRO YOU NAILED IT

[@zacaryanderson7764]

In my opinion, Roddy hasnt fallen off. every single feature and song he has released in the past maybe, 7-8 months has been fire.

[@BigGeminiGoat]

Clearly he was dealing with personal issues behind the scenes he probably just needs a break, recharge then come back and prove everyone wrong. Definitely have to have thick skin in the industry I'm rooting for him

[@gamingaddiction2966]

Real ones dont fall off they move on to new things💯

[@crystalclearsun]

Great content sir

[@Christian-tr6fx]

I’ve always said. The melody is there. If he hits some clever wordplay, he’s golden. No yes men around him.

[@neverseenbeforenow]

Bro gets 20mln streams a month, bro has NOT fallen off, he just ain't releasing stuff anymore

[@LocalLuvYapper]

Because of the negative feedback on Instagram

[@zayzizzle]

Roddy won and you elevating him with this video!!

[@jskyes8291]

RODDY JUS NEEDS TO DROP THAT 2X2 SNIPPET THATS THE RODDY I LOVE

[@JCVideosandVlogs]

Another banger, love from the UK

[@jaysonjmkmundia]

He still making hits to me

[@marfo_nimoh]

This is the best video i have watched tonight no cap learned from my mistakes

[@devontayandrews6132]

Ngl he had a couple bangers on " Feed the streets 3" I'm still hoping he drops a vid to "Favor 4 a favor " I feel like tge ladies would have went crazy for that one💯

[@COVATHILLS]

Just to tell you a french youtuber named Frère Castor did a video having the exact same thumbnail but in french 6 days ago.

[@tytheeblaiseR]

Now this is where Song Writers come in, big players hits like Ariana grande, Rihanna and Taylor Swift were not written by them but the problem with Rap is using ghost writers can be even considered a crime.

[@yeahisaidit2times]

Very true

[@kiara198923]

The box was dope! I was wondering where he went!

[@oredi2159]

Talented young man, dont crack under pressure, use the criticism to come back harder

[@jayyeditz8941]

man thats crazy he had so much potential

[@blupocahontas984]

"Had" past tense😂

[@SunniMerlot]

Dude not even 26 he got hella time

[@jonvia]

"The Box" is a tune you have to listen to about 1000 times before it can get out of your head.

[@zinadenfarah5383]

He will return, i can feel it, and when he does, the haters will know.

[@LastBruhStanding]

Roddy did his thang. Keep flowing and keep going. Eff lil Durk, real talk.

[@MaDtap10]

Respect. Just get the bag and go

[@carrie8756]

I remember when he released the box, that was how I found his music. I loved the album please excuse me for being anti social. One of my faves to this day! I hope to see him come back from this. He is talented

[@gabbyee1]

his debut album was everything. so many bops.

[@MTBSkiBarberLife]

Covid screwed him Dropped a classic album and couldn’t tour.

[@ForeverBlooming-05]

I never really liked him but hearing his background, he gots my respect

[@jaysonjmkmundia]

Rappers that have a lot going on in their private lives tend to have a tough time hiding it, if they try too hard then it's going to affect them in some way publically , look at NBA YB

[@a1_med]

he has a song with drake "in the cut" which was leaked but not released some years ago. he could've released it then follow up with a collab ep capitalizing on drake's pull. he really set himself up however i need to see his comeback.

[@farmboy_slim]

Feed the streets 2 is one of my favorite albums. I feel like he could come thru any time and I’d be happy

[@Keamogetswe_1]

Fan of roddy ricch music hope he makes comeback took 2 long drop sophomore album even though didn't like it

[@Joker-ui9rv]

He kinda made a comeback with the post malone song

[@BiboDL]

Man literally has a huge trending song with Gucci Mane and Nardo Wick as this video is coming out. Roddy is still doing major features, let him live.

[@redrum4486]

I heard his mixtape Feed The Streets 1 and new this guy was gonna be a star. The songwriting his fantastic... he know his audience

[@klodsenbtw2nd]

I hope his next album is dropping soon!

[@zesh47]

I always think about how artists like future weren't A list in the early 2010s and found an audience with newer generations. If you fall off you shouldn't just stop right there

[@Darryldesiderium]

Future rolled out an album 2 mixtapes per year n once he dropped 2 albums back to back n he had 5 years in the game n over 10 hits in his pocket n roddy ricch in just 2 years with one hit song thought he could stay 3 years before dropping his next project.. Well reality does smack people in the face..Hope he learns from that n he drops more consistent n better music

[@el1minationtv]

THE BOY IS BACK 🔥

[@toddbarrett9616]

i thouhgt u said ur name was lil gangsta and i almost clicked another video so fast. glad u spelled it out lol

[@Quincy_010_]

His first buzz wasn't because of TikTok. Pre-covid almost no-one was on that app compared to the know insane lockdown numbers

[@burn650]

rule number one: never outshine the master

[@jayfinesse4649]

You sound like a hater waiting to hate 😂

[@RFLEEZYUBZ]

I didn’t even know about the second album. I was just waiting on some more gas… I hope he makes some more classics for us.

[@kwameu2901]

Hey @Louaista great video, but Speaker Knockerz was born in NY, raised in South Carolina, and developed his sound in Atlanta.

[@trigzdidit9267]

Idc what anyone says project dreams is such a banger. And the snippet he released that everyone clowned was fire I still wish he released that ngl. That said his last album weren’t that great

[@imaagamer7011]

Fts3 is very good still

Roddy first project was solid af. No skips frfr.
