Who in the f**k ever slept on the West?
I think most people do. Nobody sleeps on Dot but he’s the exception. When people talk about music or rap from the West it’s probably gonna start and end with Dot when it comes to mainstream.

I’ve been hearing the West say this all year they feel slept on.

I guess. I keep hearing this but I don't know what the proof is.

And Doechii album to me is still the best of the year.

Sza Ab soul Jay Rock Schoolboy

See you listed SZa and Doechii and they not from the west but I get what your saying. But I get them too. But Dot knows the deal. He didn’t even put his own cousin on the album….no TDE artists but SZa. Tyler is to Cali to what Travis Scott is to Texas. Tyler in a different lane

He put a bunch of young lesser known artists he has no affiliation with. The West feels like no one hearing them. This there time.

my point was that LABEL REPRESENTS the west.

If they win?

The west gets the credit that's how it works in hip hop.

Good analogy about Travis but Tyler represented Cali since Odd Future in my opinion.

to me? The west been representing heavy for a hot minute

I don't see how anyone says different. I liked what Dot did on this album it was cool and a blessing on their careers. But I didn't need it as a listener.

*Funny though a Drake verse on new artist used to mean the same thing not to long ago.

It's a crazy time to be alive

???? Discovery?
Discovery in legal terms is when both sides of a lawsuit provide background and details of the case.
Since Drake is threatening legal action based on collusion, UMG would have to provide details on what Drake is alleging.
If these details exist then the world is going to know for fact that they colluded against Drake in favor of Kendrick.

Hurst: There was a letter from a law firm in Toronto, and it was from Aubrey. It was an odd letter that said, “Aubrey Graham will not return to Degrassi season six as Jimmy Brooks unless his injury is healed, and he’s out of the wheelchair.” I said, “Get him down here.” He came in and was like, “What letter? I don’t know about that.” And I said, “All right, I understand. But how do you feel about the wheelchair?” He’s like, “All my friends in the rap game say I’m soft because I’m in a wheelchair.” And I said, “Well, tell your friends in the rap game that you got shot. How much harder can you get? You got shot, and you’re in a wheelchair.” He was like, “Yeah, yeah.” He was so nice and apologetic about everything. He instantly backed down. I was very passionate about it, and I said, “Aubrey, there’s some kid somewhere in a wheelchair, who’s completely ignored, who’s never on television, never gets represented.” I need you to represent this person. You’re the coolest kid on the show, and you can say there’s nothing wrong with being in a wheelchair.”

This shows how impressionable and sensitive he was especially back then

Heard this joint played on the radio this morning. I can't remember the last time I heard a new drake song played besides the one he had with j. Cole that got them put in timeout.
They’ve had some weird roll outs for sure. Drake been on a lot of pop records and I can’t say I’ve heard them because I don’t listen to those stations….Camila Cabella roll out was all fucked up having two Drake records and couldn’t do nothing with them.

So doing a quick search as a artist you either the Cole record was his last hit.

A few of the beef records did chart well but wasn’t really hits. Sexy Redd record topped at 44 which is mid.

He’s been doing some weird features the Camila record didn’t chart, he did the Spanish record it didn’t chart and the Gordo record.

It looks like he’s intentionally not dropping rap records….we haven’t heard nothing about the Party album and we know he’s gonna hop on a record with Thug. That’s gonna be the true test because right now he taking some lumps.

The irony of this is no one has received more help from labels than Drake. If niggas was paying labels to push records then it for sure was Drake at some point.

Yeah but I feel them if we giving them credit for TDE that’s biggest artists right now aren’t even from California. The West got a lot of artists and they feel they aren’t showcased.

Dot just doing his due diligence. He’s being a leader.

It’s very similar to what Beyoncé just did. She made a country album and feature a lot of black country artists that no one knew and not shockingly they all popping now.

This Dot album was needed. Dot is currently writing a masterclass on how to destroy a persons career. This is probably one of the worst beat downs I’ve seen especially when you factor in the caliber of artist Drake is.

Compared to other major rap albums from 2024, GNXwould rank third in first-week consumption behind Travis Scott‘s Days Before Rodeo re-release (361,000) and Tyler, The Creator‘s Chromakopia (299,500).




This is shocking. Shocked it didn’t do more but I think them not putting Not Like Us on it robbed them of a much bigger debut. Which is typically a cheat code from labels. Put the biggest hit on the album and count those streams….Tyler sales was surprising and I still don’t know how Travis sold that much of a mixtape.
