Reception reshapes principle. Victory reframes tolerance.
Suing in a rap battle is lame and everybody knows it. So the next time an artist is sitting in a courtroom, their bars being read back like evidence, like what Young Thug has faced, don’t act confused about how we got here.
Blame Drake.

I say all this to say, I’m glad I didn’t allow the internet to make me feel less about me, my team, my ideas, or my attempts to make music that my core would love. I’m glad I had the common sense to know that ONE DAY, these weak ass niggas would get caught for scamming and turning the sport I love into something it was never meant to be.
My last 3 months of releases have been the cleanest I’ve ever seen the streaming system work. Thank you to the guy that decided to sue. His hasty and selfish reasons for making that decision may have backfired on him and all of his counterparts, but in the long run, it helped fix this fucked up system. With the rate per stream rising, and the downfall of the “bot”, we are now set to return to business as usual. YOU NIGGAS CANT FUCK WITH ME AND NEVER COULD. Dont talk numbers to me anymore, them shits been rigged.
The last 10 years of music have birthed the fakest version of stars we’ve ever witnessed. bots inflated sales to make consumers believe they (bot assisted artist) were bigger than what they actually were. Damn near to the point, if you didn’t do a certain “fake” number, you, your music, your team looked as if you were inferior when in reality, the bots (fake listeners) pushed indies out of the market share which made it impossible to compete. I knew the fix was in early. For those of us who actually SOLD units before the streaming era, this shit last 10 years has been the biggest slap in the face to the time and efforts real artist have put in. I personally have been affected by it financially and mentally.
The saddest thing I've noticed within the last 3 years is that people are more concerned with chart positions and streams rather than the quality and the content of the music that they're listening to.
@AkademiksTV The great reset. I'd rather hear quality music than worry about what albums are charting. This account the type of person to sell their soul for popularity.
