    I think all of them are making the music they want to make.. i dont think ib or cole are telling them , oh dont make a certain type of music, this is just who all of them are. it just is what it is. You cant just tell them to go make radio hits, s--- dont work like that, either they gone have it or they not. See, cole can make the hits easily, and also come with some lyrical s---. I dont see cozz making no hit for the radio, unless cole ghost write it or something. When the artist start making music that aint genuine to them , thats when they f--- up. Cozz need to just keep doing what he doing. Maybe get better production, thats it.

    I think all Dreamville artists have a vision they come to Cole with, and cole and ib just get behind it and support it, if they believe in it.. Imo thats the way it should be. Shouldnt no label be pushing you to make music you dont want to make, that mean they are basically using you. I think if yall were in the artist shoes yall would see that.

    If songs like Cocky = the future of hip hop then we are f-----

    Song is blowing up and it’s so generic and uninspired. The hook might be the worst I’ve heard since Laffy Taffy.

    They bring their own vision but need to be guided in how to execute it by ppl who been there and done it. That's where the management and marketing is an issue.

    Pretty sure cole them give them advice and guide them too, they just dont control what type music they make, which they shouldnt. If management or marketing was that big of an issue n----s wouldnt sign there.

    Reality is , none of us knows what goes on at dreamville, me, im just going off what i hear or read in interviews from people there. I think n----s just need to enjoy the music, either you f--- with it or not, all that other s--- shouldnt be no fan concern. n----s acting like they getting paid off the s--- themselves.

    Preach. Yeah we like to think we know how to do it but if u haven't been in the industry u don't really know how it works. I'm just saying it seems like cozz has stagnated. Not a huge fan of this album but hopefully it gets him more buzz. Realistically he should be able to do a tour off of this
