"TDE Finna Be Washed In A Couple Yrs Cuz Of Top Dawg N Punch"
From what I've seen, bruh has a psuedo Suge Knight complex and wants to be the mouthpiece for his artists. This nigga wants to be more famous than them. No one gives a fuck about him. They're twitter feed is only an advertisement campaign. Fans of TDE artists only hear about songs and album details from him and never the artists. They got the potential to be an even bigger label than they already are, but will be stuck in "Strange Music" territory because of him.
Jay Rock
Will never be bigger than what he is. His last album was fail because Top marketing strategy was to associate him to Kendrick in hopes of his album selling when in reality no one has heard a single thing from him in like 5 years. No one really knows who he is. On my armchair A&R - He should've did a feature run, dropped a mixtape titled "Jay Rock and Friends" or some shit with some heavy features so people could no him outside of TDE by association. But instead he was one of the biggest flops.
Ab Soul
If his next album doesn't deliver. He's done. He maybe the first artistTop Dawg drops from the label. Yes these days didn't deliver. As long as Ab delivers musically he can maintain the independent grind with TDE. But Top has to give this nigga freedom to drop singles or a top and not put him on a chain. He's the most abstract and he's the black sheep of their label. His fan base is on some "let's get high, 3rd eye shit" so he has to feed them like a regular mixtape artist. As long as he doesn't release shit like "Twact" again he'll be ok but IDK
Isaiah Rashad
He's showing that he could really rap. I think lyrically he's right up there with Kendrick.He's not a star like Q is but he has potential to make songs just as good as Q and Kendrick. He adds southern flavor. Hopefully the pill addiction ends but he has to feed the streets and drop more music for exposure.
Schoolboy Q
That groovey nigga. He's fine. Interscope is not going to let Top Dawg ruin their investment. Habits and Contradictions is the 2nd best project out of TDE. Naturally a star. Blank Face was above average so he'll be aight.
And finally, SZA *sad face* yall see this on twitter yesterday?
