    they should make a movie to go with the tape too

    like 10 minute story of each artists come up (acted out like a real movie, but actually by each artist not actors) and then a final 10-15 minutes is just a studio session with the whole dreamville lineup working on songs and specifically some time working on the song that will become the first dreamville anthem

    if that wouldn't get people hyped idk what would

    speaking on TDE, it's amazing seeing how big SZA becoming, i be seeing so many hoes quote her s---.. and talking bout her album. :lol6::lmaooo:

    these hoes love that side b---- talk, they can relate. she a genius for coming with a album about nothng but that.. (i aint listened to the album personally, but from her interviews and from what ive been seeing about it, thats what the album is about??????)


    maybe it was her side deal with RCA that contributed to her lil small blow up, most n----s dont even know she signed to TDE...

    her looks overrated af tho :wellsht: that b---- aint fine at all. overrated bout like kendrick rapping ability :hard:

    Dreamville roster has only two acts that can blow besides cole and that is bas and jid honesty thats it the rest can be decent smaller acts but nothing more and truth be told nothing wrong with that most artists run labels dont have many artists that are big anyway give the guy a break plus i dont understand the bas hate he only really got introduced to world as signed to coles label when he was dropping his album and that did quite well if you look at the sales of other rappers such as typga troy ave vic mensa ab soul and hes trending upwards look at the growth hes made since last winter musically and audience wise so give them some time d--- you guys just love to moan

    JID and Earthgang already has a bigger buzz than Bas have without the Dreamville Connect.

    Early January 2016, we went up there with J.I.D. We went straight into record mode. We were told, 'First things n----- do when they come to the Sheltah is lay a verse down. We gonna put this beat on and you guys just lay something. We need everyone to put a verse in.' Cole put the beat on. n----s still had on their hoodies. n----s was still pulling out their notebooks. I remember Cole bugging out because we still write our verses in our books. He thought it was fye. We had a moment of understanding that this is what we’re here for. To create, even if it’s on the spot. The song would become “D/Vision” that was on J.I.D.’s project. That was the first track we ever recorded at the Sheltah.” - Johnny Venus

    Thats dope :khaled:

    Chase the money if you want to and you’ll end up somewhere money can’t save you,” said EarthGang's manager, Barry Johnson, who has been sharing this golden mantra for years. He’s a firm believer in following the best situation for the artist and not the most money. A strong team and the right opportunity is worth more than the big check. EarthGang wasn’t after the biggest payday but rather the best fit for their artistry. They believe the money will come.

    When I asked them about labels, EarthGang admitted they weren’t seeking a traditional record deal and that their seldom, early experiences with labels were offputting. “Going into the label meetings, everyone wanted to look at our analytics and wonder how they can market us instead of asking how we wanted to market ourselves,” Johnny stated frankly. The labels weren’t trying to develop EarthGang and assist them in maximizing their vision; they wanted to merely split the gold after the duo had done most of the digging. The labels wanted to be present for the reward and none of the work

    1800 really a more developed and fleshed out version of For whom the bell tolls
