Am I wrong to think that KRIT will have a better career than Kendrick in the long term?

[A$AP_A$TON]

He make better music so prolly.

 

[Stew]

I guess that makes sense. He gaining a pretty good rep among the people that have been listening though.

I remember when I was trying to put cats on J. Cole right after I first heard The Warm Up but folks wasn't trying to hear it. When he signed with Jay all of sudden people were fans...same with KL, I guess he's gonna have to sign to a big time major before people pay attention.



I'm good with him touring with Macklemore if it can expose him to a broader audience because that's what he needs. Not saying I want a bunch of yuppies trying to "make" KRIT but if they can get him played then that's cool with me.

He's signed to Def Jam bruh.

Yeah...Dead Jam

Call it what u want, it's still a major and still a company that's helped provide many of plaques. It ain't their fault his music ain't crossing over. If he wanted to stay pat with what he's comfortable doing he shouldve just stayed indie.

it may not be they fault he aint crossing over, but they aint helping either, when a bunch of the most popular artists on the label have something to say about the state of it, there are constant changes in who's running the label, and only 1 artist has been able to come out and get somewhat decent promotion, id say the label might not be fully doing their part

Newsflash: people outside Miss. shit on Miss., non country people will shit on country people, people from different regions of the country shit on the other. KRIT is unabashedly southern and country, which i've seen is a turnoff for some people. songs like "Gumpshun", "Cool to Be Southern", etc are not gonna be popular outside country areas. just like people in North Miss. are prolly not bumping Troy Ave or Clyde Carson. you're not gonna understand unless you live in an area different from Miss.

I'm not too concerned with the crossover aspect as I am with the promotional part.

Mississippi is a small market. Personally I don't care where a dude from (I like Reks for instance and hes from some town on Massachusetts that isn't Boston) but other people aren't as open minded.

Pimp C made unabashedly country rap songs too and he knew that it meant working with a smaller market than if he had changed UGK's sound. Sometime is just not worth it.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

He needs his black and yellow monent

yet krit is able to tour successfully with talib kweli and macklemore, are they country? and shiiidddd, people IN mississippi shit on mississippi, u aint sayin nothin there lol, im sure saddity people shit on other saddity people as well as country people so thats silly as well, now maybe people down here arent bumpin troy ave or clyde carson, but them niggas are comparible to boo rossini or cadillac don & j-money down here, and i can understand people not bumpin gumpshun or cool to be southern in certain settings, but why that mean they cant bump good 2 gether, serve this royalty, temptation, or package store, is he too country for yall to understand, can yall not keep up with the lingo, is the music too soulful??? shit even with gumpshun or cool to be southern, if the shit sound good its not gon matter where u from, just like fabolous being a ny city dope boy with a street family didnt stop me from standing in line to buy his albums

i also notice how most Boston/Lawrence (where Reks, Termanology etc. are from) tend to make straight up NY style boom bap. almost as if to appeal to the big hip hop city in the East (NYC). i think Boston would be better off trying to create their own sounds, especially with the internet. Boston/New England rappers/producers historically always move to NYC to try to get on

Considering I'm partial to boom bap I think they kinda keeping it alive out there lol. But I would like more diversity and to actually hear what that region can add to the game.

KRIT being soulful as well as country might be harmful because a lot of people aren't on that tip right now. It's only Ross doing stuff like that in the mainstream these days.

[soul rattler]

So T.I. is a big enough consign for BOB but not KRIT? Lol

 

[StillFaggyAF]

So T.I. is a big enough consign for BOB but not KRIT? Lol

Well ti actually signed bob and brought him out on tours and on tv performances akd I believe left krit back when he performed im flexin on bet

 

[southernmade]

Name one transplant that has been successful in hiphop especially southern hiphop....I think one of his major problems is his own state doesn't really support him.....and that could be because he moved to Atlanta before he got known...then of course the south as a whole....like someone said he's still barely known....I've asked plenty of people do they fuck with Krit and most times they say "who".....an I'm in on of his biggest markets....he has regional records that don't get played on regional radio stations which is another problem.....his content is dope but there's three "major" elements missing from his music that people seem to gravitate towards now days....gangsta music, turn up music (club) and trap music....ehhh fuck it, who knows lol....some artist just aren't meant to blow....not everyone can be a star lol.....as long as he makes good albums who cares

 

[southernmade]

Krit has those consigns but he's not necessarily affiliated with any of those artist....he's not Grand Hustle or MMG.....Bun is a legend but he's not on the level of a Dre, Kanye, Jay, or Wayne as far as popularity and notoriety .....people like to fuck with the winning team.....Krit doesn't play for any team but his own.....he's the nigga who was cool with everyone in high school but didn't run with any of the cliques because he was doing his own thing lol

You have good points that's why I usually agree....I think his issue is he thinks he's "selling out" if he conforms to making music for the radio....I think he just has to work through it....I don't think he'll ever be that huge star but I believe he should be a lot more known than he is....too talented not to be....you can't deny that

And he let's that be known plenty of times in his rhymes. Im not sure If he's disappointed in where his career is or not but at some point you would think hes gotta do something considering he's on a major. Usually signing to a major says you want some kind of fame. Maybe the "Just Last Week" record was a sign of that, maybe not. We'll see.
