He don't need them dudes. It's the way to opt out for quick money and try to cash in on the white people who buy anything with their names off iTunes etc. I just want dude to live his life but when it comes to music either pick up where he left off or go the future route and get back to the basics. I just hope a Rihanna, beiber or t swift feature isn't next, when u feeding your core u never lose, mainstream fans turn their back soon as something else cool comes along.

U know I'm a huge gucci fan but who honestly buys guccis music lol..everyone I know downloads that **** and if they do buy its just out of respect..same thing with ds2..people bought just cjz he gave us so much free music
 
Gucci never been an album sales rapper. That's never been his lane. Damn near all of his releases have been for free. He's able to monetize off of it now since the streams on Apple Music and other stuff like that is supposed to equal dollars, but that's Wop isn't a damn album sales guy. He gets long show money. With him being out of jail now and he has the"trap god is home" going for him heavy, I'd imagine his fee goes up.

Not sure what he got from future either. In all honesty, the future fans that didn't rock with Drake never really converted when they put out material (i.e. the homie Wilt). I can't say Hendrix brought him any new fans like that. Only argument I could see being made was that Drake was getting the street/trap cosign... But that isnt present on any of the music he released on Views. I just hope he doesn't have it in his mind that he "put Future on", because that **** would just be comical. :lol:

Drake for some reason has an obsession with trap/street music. He wants to make those kinda records without jeopardizing his discography or selling out the people who buy his records. So if he hops on a song with a trap artist, he can have those hard 808 beats and trap hooks etc without having to put that on an album next to jodeci crying for *******. Wop was chasing a check, but he could also do the future and give out so much free fire that people gonna but it to say thanks for the freebies. He was also putting his free tapes out on iTunes before and during incarceration, didn't he have like 5 tapes in the top 100 in 2014 at one point. Some people will buy it just because, not me but some do.

Drake is basically a pop artist so of course doing a song with him can help you to an extent. But people need to stop thinking that it builds this new fan base for dudes. Will might hate Drake but homie is 100% right those type of fans flip flop like a MFer. :lol:

Those are the same fans that jumped on the Future bandwagon when WATTBA came out then months later talking bout "Future fell off". Drake wanted nothing to do with Future a few years ago then a of a sudden he's pleading to be on his album. C'mon now. :lol: Future was on already ON FIRE from the 3 peat and DS. It had nothing to with Drake.

That's another thing. Drake's crazy fan base used to say Drake put Kendrick, ASAP Rocky on just cuz they did a feature with him. Drake is a smart dude he jumps on whatever is hot to feed off that person's wave. It's a fake thing to do but business/credit wise it's smart.


The Weeknd is probably the biggest artist who Drake co-signed from the start. And he basically gave Drake Take Care. And he didn't really blow til after he stopped messing with Drake. So the Drake co-sign is really not what people make it out to be.

The only explanation I can think of is that they were just paying homage idk

It benefits Drake because it keeps him grounded in the urban audience when he's dropping pop albums Iike Views and doing corny SNL skits.

Drakes advantage has always been his versatility. No other rapper in history could do a pop record like One Dance or go be goofy on SNL and then do songs with Future and Gucci. He gotta keep the hood rappers around to stay relatively hot in the trenches, or not even the "hood", just the hip hop community in general. Same with Ye. Although Ye isn't really trying to be a pop star, he just gets that label because of his antics and who he's married to.

It also keeps them in the clubs/strip clubs. Free hit records without having to put trap songs on the album.

Fresh Out Of Prison, Gucci Mane Scores Three RIAA Gold Awards

If there was any doubt that hip-hop artist Gucci Mane wouldn’t be welcomed back with open arms, the past two weeks have proven otherwise.

Less than a week after his release from prison on weapons charges, the rapper born Radric Davis unexpectedly scored a trio of RIAA sales certifications. His 2009 album The State Vs. Radric Davis earned a gold award, credited on May 31st. Released via Warner Music’s Asylum Records and the artist’s own 1017 Brick Squad imprint, the album originally spent six weeks on the Billboard 200 and peaked at #10. Two of that full legth record’s singles, “Wasted” and the Usher featured “Spotlight,” received gold digital single awards last week as well.

While there’s no indication that the timing of these RIAA certification announcements so soon after Davis’ release are anything more than coincidental, there’s no denying that interest in Gucci Mane has increased since leaving a federal correctional facility in Terre Haute, Indiana roughly two weeks ago. According to data derived from online music analytics and insights provider Next Big Sound, Davis’ social media following surged during the week of his release. His Instagram grew by 214,000 followers, with his Twitter following up nearly 83,000, and another 40,000 in Facebook page likes. In that same period, Wikipedia pageviews increased more than sixfold.

On the new music front, the historically prolific Davis has kept fairly busy. His first new song since release, “First Day Out Tha Feds” debuted the day after his leaving prison and accumulated some 1.1 million SoundCloud plays in its first twenty-four hours. The track was later added to streaming and download services. On Spotify alone, it has logged 826,000 plays in just under a week.

This past Saturday another new song entitled “Back On Road” debuted on Apple Music’s Beats 1 program OVO Sound Radio. With a feature by Drake, the track was subsequently shared on SoundCloud where it has since accumulated more than 1.6 million plays in less than four days. Given Drake’s continued chart dominance, “Back On Road” could benefit from his involvement provided that the song receives a wider release on par with “First Day Out The Feds.”
