That “artists think they’re above criticism” take is so tired lol. Y’all ain’t credible critics yall just some haters with a smart phone and an unlimited data plan.

Love Pluto... Wayne sold a million albums in 7 days. He also founded Young Money which brought us Drake, Nicki and Tyga. Besides the fact that he was the undisputed biggest rapper alive for a few years. Future can’t compete where it don’t compare.
8 hour session:
5 hours late
1 hour smoking
1 hour going through emails for beats
1 hour recording
“Y’all gotta extend this bruh, didn’t even give me enough time to do a song”
9 years ago I was “homeless” in Miami for a summer chasing something I loved (not music)...
Now I’m in Miami pushing a Benz staying at the Eden Roc for the weekend chasing something else I love...
Life is crazy man
Gotta give it to Swizz and Timbaland.. the programming here has been great, because two weeks in a row Saturday Night has felt very Saturday Night and Sunday Evening feeling very Sunday Evening
A lot of times artists aren’t the ones stealing ideas/concepts etc from smaller artists, a lot of times someone on the team presents an idea without disclosing their process. Now the artist is accused of stealing something from someone they truly didn’t know existed.
Year 1...ScHoolboy Q.
Year 2...Young Thug and Future.
Year 3...A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, and Future.
Year 4...J. Cole, Travis Scott, and Future.

This is the first photo I ever took of Tate at the first show I went to with Tate in the first week I was working with Tate. The weight and the wigs have come a long way lol
Just wanted to remind everyone that YBT produces, writes and arranged all of her own music and is a completely independent artist with no major backing.
A&R/Manager: Yeah so we are looking for production that sounds like this (plays 4/5 records)
Producer: oh yeah, hell yeah bruh, I know EXACTLY what you need, let me put this pack together, I got u bro

Folks mad at Meek Mill for a more than likely auto-flagged copyright strike initiated by his label’s parent company and assume he knows whats going on when just 4 weeks ago he realized he needed an entertainment attorney lol
Imagine getting a loan from the bank to build a house, you build the house, you pay off the loan (which is at an insane interest rate) but ultimately the bank owns the house (even after repayment with interest).
thats a major record deal.
Me: I have $5K total to clear this song
Producer: Cool we can do that!
Me: Ok perfect drafting paperwork
Producer: I also have a co-producer on this song and he wants $3k
Me:
One thing I think developing artists consistently miss the point on is growth. Consistently leaning on the made-up stat of "what their fans like/approve/want" instead of thinking "these are already my fans, they gonna be here, how can I adjust a few things and get new ones"
