"Drake is a party of one atop the pop/urban heap and he’s the beneficiary of attention, people are interested in what he does, they’ll spend time checking it out, and they’ve got almost no time for anything else." -- lefsetz, less than a month ago

Lef's def got his finger on the pulse, it's a shame pop/urban acts like Beyonce, Rhianna, and Future have to labor in obscurity

It's not that you can't reach us, it's that we don't CARE!Even worse, if you overload us, we go on backlash.Kinda like Mac DeMarco... I knew the name, but there was an exquisite article on him in yesterday's "Times," saying how he gave out his address so his fans could stop by, and it made me wonder, who was his publicity agent? Getting into the "Times" is so hard.It's Jessica Linker at Pitch Perfect PR. But if you use her beware. Now I HATE MAC DEMARCO!

It’s the new “Blurred Lines,” but the role of Emily Ratajkowski is played by Zuleya Rivera, and she keeps her clothes on!But that does not mean you can take your eyes off her.

The classic acts are irrelevant. Do you even know that Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie have a new album? They're much more famous than all the acts on the top of the chart, but they haven't even reached six digits on all tracks but one on Spotify.
does he seriously think that buckingham and mcvie are still more famous than kendrick lamar or justin bieber?

hard to quantify but nearly every baby boomer--the largest generation--is familiar with the Mac
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 12:57 (six years ago) link
right, but boomers are just gonna keep listening to those classic records. most boomers who were active music consumers back then have long checked out
it's a dumb point--if it were all about Q rating among the boomer set, then Paul McCartney's New would've been the biggest album of two thousand and whatever
― black covfefe in bed (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 13:06 (six years ago) link
there is really not much relation between fame and sales of new records. Almost everyone knows who Chuck Berry is but I doubt his posthumous album is going to sell 50 million copies this week.

imo when people really attached to the status quo start spouting gibberish about how you didn't really succeed because you didn't do all the things they deem correct ($40 million on marketing!) then you might be doing just fine

Then again, Taylor Swift is a woman of her times. Embattled, self-righteously taking on all detractors, just like the President.And by pointing this out I'm seen as part of the problem as opposed to part of the solution.But someone has to stand up for truth.And I'm not worrying about payback, SHE ALREADY WROTE A SONG ABOUT ME!
