  • Getting Out Our Dreams. It’s a simple philosophy and one which anyone who’s ever dared to step out of society’s comfort zone and try to live life in the name of art will relate to. With so much backstabbing, vested interests and fakery to ward off, the process of bringing your creativity to a wide audience-let alone monetising it-can be an uphill battle.

Kendrick almost got shelved but broke through because of TDE being there to push. Anderson Paak has two albums out but notice how it's not Interscope funded but rather 12 Tone Music and Aftermath. I feel like nothing drops exclusively on Aftermath. Look at every CD they've dropped since 97's Firm. There's always another label there to push the weight so the album gets released even Eminem. i'm not sure how much of a role Jimmy Iovine plays in this too but hell from what I've heard Dre is shelving Jesus Is King 2 after a year of hype.

      TF lmao The Album was a bloated mess, KTSE was one of the best contemporary R&B records I heard in the last two years and big part of that was bc of Kanye's soul sampling and beatmaking. Teyana wants creative freedom but The Album she put out this year was just bloated tracklist and not nearly as potent as KTSE. There ain't a track on The Album that hits as Gonna Love Me, Issues/Hold On or Rose in Harlem. She might not have liked how it rolled out with the every Friday a new project all 7 tracks each but they were all consistent solid projects (maybe except Nasir)

      That’s not 100 true teyana’s last two albums were great in fact the backlash concerning KTSE was coming from the fact that the original cut gotten rave reviews by both critics and fans and Pusha and Kanye decides to cut it and release a new one without teyana’s acknowledge. Big Sean has been making bomb ass music dating back to his mixtape days so no it has nothing to do with who make better music or not bc there are artists right now that are making above average or straight mediocre music and still popping, it has to do with the fact that Kanye west and Pusha T don’t know how to run a record label and are only good at managing when they are managing themselves

    Big Sean had no singles out or NOTHING. But the media stay pushing negativity about Ye. Also I’m seeing people say Kanye didn’t elevate anyone on Good Music. He elevated John Legend; gave him his name, fought to get him a record deal, put him on Alicia Keys - You Don’t Know My Name as a background singer, directed the Ordinary People music video, produced 4 songs on John Legend’s first album and produced other songs on his later albums, he gave John Legend his first feature on Slum Village-Selfish, which Kanye produced and is also featured on. During the College Dropout era, he took John Legend with him during majority of his live performances. He made John Legend a star. He put him on Common- They Say, which Kanye produced and is featured on. He put him on Blame Game on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the album of the decade according to Billboard and Rolling Stone and also recently ranked 17th on their all time top 500 albums list. Go watch John Legend’s Verzuz battle vs Alicia Keys and see how many times he mentions Kanye and plays songs Kanye produced. Kanye most definitely elevated Big Sean in a major way and paved the way for him with the Graduation album, which opened doors for non-Gangsta rappers. Big Sean wouldn’t be where he is without Kanye. Sean says that all the time. Kanye put him in a Bape campaign back in 08 when Sean had no singles out. Took Sean with him wherever he went between 07-09. When Cudi signed with Kanye, he boosted Cudi and Man on the moon came out on Good Music, Kanye produced “Make Em Say” , “Sky might fall” and is the reason Common narrated that album. Cudi himself said Kanye helped take his career to the next level, go on RUclips and you will see. Kanye kickstarted Pusha T’s solo career by putting him on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy on Runaway & So Appalled and then had production on all of Pusha’s solo albums; My Name is My Name (2013) , King Push (2015) and then did the entire production on Daytona (2018) which was arguably hip hop album of the year by most people in hip hop. What Kanye struggled to do was balance his fashion challenges with Yeezy brand back in 2013 with Good Music, that’s why he made Pusha the president. Also Teyana Taylor was signed to Star Trak before Kanye and nothing really happened, Ye boosted Teyana’s career more than Pharrell did. Also Ye was balancing his solo career, good music and building Yeezy brand, something is likely to suffer when you’re doing all those things. But ignore all these facts and keep bashing Ye because it’s the popular thing to do now.

    things aren’t perfect, ye’s a busy complicated guy. they knew what they were getting into, all had top notch product to show for it and complain cause they thought it would be different than being with a major.

There is this crazy reverence around Kayne, like you can't call him on his utter bullshit because he's talented. Great, he's talented, he's also using that as a free pass to take no responsibility for his mental health and consequential behaviour. I'm over it.

  • @golfhax

    15k advance, he should be thanking Kanye for that instead of clowning him. You don't want to sign a big advance because then record companies own you. the bigger the advance you get the higher percentage of your musical earnings you'll have to sign over. for instance instead of doing like an 80-20 or 70-30 split in your favor for the $15k advance on all your musical earnings like streams, sales, concerts, memorabilia, publishing, etc and you get to keep your masters but you have to sign for 3-5 albums..
    now say you want that big advance so ok. for that $3 milli advance they'll want like a 70-30 deal in their favor but you might get to keep all your concert earnings, you get to keep your masters (but they'll get those back anyway when you can't pay them back the advance + expenses), and you have to sign to a 5 album deal. so now you owe the label that $3milli advance, 5 albums, they get most of your earnings, and in the end they'll get your masters too. all so you can shine when you first get signed.

    Y’all did GOOD so nasty. Big Sean still reps GOOD. Consequence goes everywhere with Kanye now. CyHi still is happily on GOOD.

    Kanye is not a manager, he is a visionary. He is the idea guy, not the one to execute it.

    I love Teyana's music. She will strive and prosper because herself music is just her. Even with short comings from the label l just still support ❤️✨

    Yeah Teyana Taylor got pushed to the side after Kanye used to in his video Kim Kardashian was not happy about that because a lot of people already know that he had a thing for Tiana which is crazy because that girl it's just the baby herself let's not forget guys she was under Star Trek when she was 14 years old she had her super sweet 16 on MTV where Ferrell bought her a bike

    Kanye messed up all of their albums
    Push could’ve dropped a twelve track like my name is my name
    Teyana Taylor album could’ve been fire off the rip
    Sean could’ve been as big as a drake or cole
    Cudi could’ve came back on ten
    Desiigner had hits but he gave them to Kanye and Kanye wasted them
    For all this he dropped his own trash albums

    What is important is that Kanye gave them a chance that no one would have given them... Remember not everyone would have believed in them... This was their door to their fate... Like a lot artist who are good but no believes in them... When someone starts to believe in them they will start to think it was a must to be given that opportunity... Watch the space most of these artists will be history... Remember Kid Cudi once left G.O.O.D music but he came back because he wouldn't have the same impact that he had when he was connected to Ye'... 2 Chainz became relevant because of Kanye West... Some people need to appreciate because they have no guarantee if they were gonna make it if they didn't find Ye' favor... Life is about favor not deserving... We can all relate to how many people we know that are talented but they never found favor from anyone... These artists are talking nonsense... It's not like he ate their payments that they agreed on... If Big Sean wasn't happy with 15 000 he should have just rejected the offer... Selfish people now they up they wanna speak on Ye'... "How you gonna hate nigga We Go Way Back"
