Ok God I watched the first vid, if it had been sent to me to play on Carolina Cuts I would have put it in the mix np. This is allot of what I hear indies doing right now as far as sound and beat style.
I don't have to like it to play it lol.If it sounds like other people would like it Ill spin it.
Now I DO feel like I know and play artists that are better than these dudes , but the industry does what it wants. Im just surprised that anyone would sign with a major right now when it seems like Universal and WB are handing out major distribution deals like candy on Halloween right now.
It doesn't matter whether someone is better than someone else. Take Chris Langan, the person with the highest IQ in the world
The dude works as a bouncer in a bar.
It's not what you know or how good you are at something, it's about how you're leveraging your contacts and social circle. If the guys that you know are better than Migos, then they haven't been hustling properly to get their name out to the right industry heads. Or more importantly, luck has an important aspect to everything.
For example, how do you have Gucci Mane on one of your tracks if you aren't even signed? From what I heard they aren't affiliated with Gucci. So:
- Either my intel is wrong and they are affiliated with Gucci
- Someone with a lot of money is backing them and paying Gucci
- Gucci decided he liked them and cut some deal
- Crack money pays for it.
I don't know, but in the end -- it's not about who you know or how good you are. It's about who knows you and what you can do for them.
