Basically theirs no artist development like 99’s & 00’s

[@yellowlac]

You’re right. No media training either.

[@billycarter1798]

No sme artists are just trash. They leave 1017. Gucci releases their contracts to give them freedom. They go other places and flop even harder than they did with Gucci.

[@nasuno23]

Accountability skips everyone.

[@billycarter1798]

Facts. Gucci is not locking these artists contract rights away. When it doesn't work out he gives them freedom to take their career somewhere else. And then they flop harder

[@localfatty4364]

1017 in 2020 WAS DIFFERENT kinda weird that was the last year I was happy too

[@LEFT4eV3r]

Kshiday is such a a sweety 🧁 I like her music 🎵

[@deebush4904]

She's completely right. Gucci Mane is my favorite rapper ever (not really a fan of his new stuff.) I've always loved his eye for talent and his enthusiasm for assembling great musical collections. But she's right, you got have the proper A&R. You just can't assemble the hood Avengers and let them run wild. Nobody will ever top the original 1017 and Bricksquad Monopoly. But Deb Antney (Waka's mother) did at least provide a little proper management, which helped big time. I hate Gucci went to jail though, because I feel like his best overall 1017 would have been Young Thug, Ralo, and Pee Wee LongWay; with Rich Homie Quan probably joining. The new 1017 really needed actual A&R, because he had three jail birds (Poo, Foo, and Wes). Enchanting's fanbase did not like her rapping (she was terrible at it), because she is an amazing singer. Which she said she told Gucci she wanted to stay a singer, but he told her he wanted her and K Shiday to be the 1017 version of the City Girls. A real A&R would have told him to keep her a singer. Gucci is completely wasting Big Walk Dog's talent right now, as he's the most lyrically talented one on the roster hands down, got the voice, and the swag. I don't know what he is doing with the white guy he signed named Brezden. Then idk why he was tripping on Shiesty's homeboy Big 30 when had told people he was cool as hell with Gucci, when Big 30 more talented than most of his artists. Artists running labels never really work.

[@Jayv3420]

Exactly idk why they kept pushing chant as a rapper smh her singing songs had good numbers, could've been like a summer walker

[@proboarder6456]

Love your take on this, I 100% agree

[@DeeIrish94]

Yes! I hate when they try to turn singers into rappers. Everybody not gone be like 2010 Drake & Nicki Minaj

[@billycarter1798]

🧢🧢🧢🧢 Gucci has had artist grow into successful careers with his system. Some artists are trash and when they leave 1017 they remain trash. STOP BLAMING GUCCI

[@deebush4904]

@@billycarter1798 It's not about successful careers, it's about consistent Artist development. It's not just Gucci, it's a lot of labels. Like Roddy Rich, they didn't know what to do with him after he blew up. T.I. has had a lot of successful artists, but just like 1017 the longevity isn't there due to development. Like Waka mama told him, never sign to an artist who is currently still an artist. Blood Raw said the same about Jeezy, that's why USDA never dropped another album. Gucci is great at introducing artists, and getting them hot: i.e Thug, Ralo, Pee Wee, Waka , Poo, Foo. But gotta keep it going. It takes more than just doing a video with an artist after a while. I feel this is why Migos and Dolph didn't sign.

[@rollinstonestunna5Five]

Facts gucci had yall buzzin

[@98kgames4]

Gucci Mane only picks artist that reminds him of his old self street type shit that’s why none of his artist is on the streets and they’re all in jail or dead he wants somebody that’s so authentic they can’t expose for being fake in the street which is why his label is not successful if he would actually pick people who stayed out of trouble would be making his label, but he’s not plain and simple

[@jaydawg7200]

U do realize u can be authentic, real street dudes, or whatever u wanna call it, WITHOUT being a crash dummy or a jailbird right?

[@shadowboyv9532]

Ya fools act so emotional like b!tches. If you read with 98kgames4 said he’s telling the truth! Gucci give the wrong artists chances and it’s to the point those bad decisions had overshadow the success of his label. Artist who more likely tryna stay out the streets make it out the streets and if your an artist with one foot in and one foot out it’s the same as being all in! Once you’ve made it to that platform your not even suppose to be associated with the streets. Chief keef is a very great example. He stayed out the way, which is why his career aged like wine! Yall need to start considering FACTS before yall start responding out of EMOTION.

[@billycarter1798]

That's a lie. Gucci picks those guys because HE WAS THOSE GUYS. It's not about being authentic. It's about saving the next Gucci before he crashes out. It's honorable what he's going

[@B.Piercesports]

Foogiano had a open case already, pooh got himself jammed up scarr and chant had an unfortunate issues they succumbed to. K she left of her own volition roeboy didn't hit like he was supposed to, also the guy from Waco Texas didn't hit.

I 😂😂😂 when she said wop chose talent,none of them mfs mentioned are talented. Enchanting was MID at best & the most diverse. But he's definitely not signing based on talent,he wants image & a background that reminds him of his TYPE of people

[@kevinhall357]

You don't know what you're talking about, Pooh Sheisty is talented as hell like he was the hottest most booked Artist before he went to Prison...Everyone wanted him for a feature on their Albums, every Radio and Podcast personality wanted to interview him, every Club from every city was booking him so I don't get your claim 🤷🏽 Prove me wrong

Ok, sounds like 1017 lacked business structure and artist development and management. The deaths? Hmm, well still can't explain that one.

[@billycarter1798]

1017 has had the business structure to launch some pretty successful artist over the years. Have you considered that some artists are just trash? Who really should be depending on a label in 2024? Deaths can easily be explained unless a person is obsessed with conspiracy theories.

[@billycarter1798]

Gucci make bad investments with artists with risky behavior. He sees himself as the bridge to the world he use to live in. But then y'all Blame Gucci. It is so retarded

[@Shazzyhtown]

@@billycarter1798 to have this many artists fall apart implies u make poor business decisions sir. There will always be bad employees who don't have it together, but damn near every employee you have? You need to fix your hiring system. 🤔

[@akhubauproductions3981]

All u have to do is make good music... product sells itself. Just work dont expect someone to keep providing for u. GUCCI did enough just by signing them and broadcasted it.

[@BigHomieKodaq]

You talk like someone who don’t have no industry experience . If good music was all it took, it’d be a lot more popping artists.

[@akhubauproductions3981]

@BigHomieKodaq not exactly because it's still a business at the end so preferences will be pushed more than others. In business I think they call it inflation.

[@BigHomieKodaq]

@@akhubauproductions3981 so if you don’t know the intricacies of the business, how can you speak on it? That’s like me talking about the restaurant business as a music exec. You know how many artists make GREAT music that just doesn’t catch on?

[@akhubauproductions3981]

@BigHomieKodaq the issue is what others classify others success as. Everyone wants to be on the biggest stage but the biggest stage isn't meant for everyone. It's levels.... if the industry isn't in high demand for your type or style of music of course its not gonna go as far as one may think but it does go somewhere. Ppl cant be happy within their own success they look at the drakes and futures and think that's the only stage to be on. U can become more successful by how u market yourself. If u leave it in someone else's hands u will get someone else's results.

[@trevorwilson4030]

U supposed to handle ur own business until you get poppin enough for the suits to throw a budget at you. It’s your career nobody really gonna hold ur hand. Keep dropping music doing promo until something catches this shit is work. And if it don’t then fall back and strategize.
