Last week, I peeped a video of Sean P on Hot 97 saying hip hop fans are fickle and I've always heard artists like Quest saying the same thing which made me ask the question, what level of commitment are these artists expecting from their fans? Do they want some ole sports level of commitment like I don't care how many bad albums you drop, I'm gonna always buy your music? Do they want the level of commitment like in a marriage like til death do us part? I mean, if you drop 2 wack albums, do you REALLY expect me to keep buying your stuff? So for me, I now look at fan like "clients" almost like a hooker/john relationship. If you make dope music, I'll buy it. If you stop making dope music, I won't buy it.
So, check my new podcast The Corner Radio where me and my peoples are chopping it up about what's the definition of a fan, what the commitment level of a fan should be, how many bricks does an artist get before a "fan" can call it a day, why artist try to make you feel guilty with the whole "the fans won't let me grow" line when in reality all we care about is them making dope music and how Outkast is a PERFECT example of that, the difference between a music fan and a sports fan, why and how The Roots fell off. Plus you get over 60+ minutes of a DOPE hip hop mix!
My question for ya'll is speaking for yourself, which is your commitment as a fan of someone? Do you have the "marriage" commitment of "no matter what this artist does I'm buying their music, going to their shows, etc. or do you agree with the "client" philosophy of if you make dope music, I'll buy it but if you decide to start singing off key and making turn up music, I'm done. And for the cats on here that are independent artists, what do you expect from your fans?
