T-Pain is very insecure about his status in the industry. He was used then SHUNNED by his peers. Jay Z ended him with "Death To Autotune" that shit had to hurt.

I don't see nothing wrong with what he said

[Kalifornia.]

He didn't really say anything here. Ofcourse a new artist is going to prioritise being popular rn, the music industry is fickle and there's no guarantee they'll be around a year from now.

!!!
I get what he's saying but the industry has changed.

The gorls are fickle. You have to get to the bag while it's hot.

I like Buy U A Drank

Yeah as much flack as the girls have T-Pain at the time, all his hits still hold weight today.

Tpain definitely contradicts himself quite a bit from what i've seen     he be all over the place. Afro u hit the nail on the head the first time tbh xjcjcdd i don't think he'd have this hot take if he were still on that hot streak all over the charts. Angie Martinez praised his chart success a few days ago in their interview and he immediately said "Yea, but im no Drake."  He couldn't even accept the compliments because he was thinking about who's hot right now.

Many Artists go for popularity when they first start out, and that doesn't negate how serious they take their Artistry. Both things can be true

right

And the expectations have changed

U don't have people tryna enter the game expecting a career spanning 20 years with multiple platinum plaques in each decade and big budget videos

Fnfnfnfnfnnf wat in the LaFace records fuck

Someone update this niggas software

I think the most realistic answer to longevity in 2022 is branding and product development

Artists branching out of the studio and into TV shows , developing products to promote to their audience etc .

Not just the typical perfume or clothing line mess that was done a million times over by big celebs in the past but really digging the fuck in and going hard to see what innovative useful tea they can bring in that can get them some coin

Basically Using the money they've made to invest it instead of blowing it all on cars and gucci Bags .

Ray j did an amazing job with that. Love or hate him he kinda slayed with that skateboard thingy he had and the headphones etc .
