Official Trinidad James Thread - Page 17

This **** is getting crazy. You really don't need much of a network. All you really need is money to pay for ads & promo plus a couple videos.

Soon as I saw the "all gold everything" video I immediately thought of CB4! Like this cannot be real life

what kills me is that fraud *** ***** Ebro was just on the radio talking about they aint gonna play young NY cats music on hot 97 because they have to put in that work and grind to the big time, but this **** boi on the radio talking about he fully supports Trinidad James meanwhile he's been rapping for 10 months

I'm glad I ain't the only one who felt like that like y'all interviewing trinidad James who literally cme out of nowhere while action Bronson and a sleu of others in New York been hotter and got more buzz than he does in New York and world wide.

Started a thread about this like 2 months ago (Rap going to ****) your NT'rs defended hip-hops current state.  Shame Shame Shame.  There are still fire rappers but you all like the hypemachines.

 

AND if these dudes are popping molly smh.. how are you going say your a killer then pop "the love drug" WOO 

 

andddd I don't mind listening to s***ty songs every now and then... like T.James is fun to listen to but this isn't what music used to be.. when I talk about Hip Hop Im talking about respectable hip hop.. this is just pop.

Nobody cares about Action Bronson and most of those New York dudes anywhere but in the tri-state area.....

You might have something there in Joey Bad***** though. And ASAP Rocky and French Montana will be on the scene for a good minute.

Bronson actually has a buzz and has a solid fanbase all over .Asap won't be around a year .You can't ride a gimmick that long Houston artist eventually gonna get annoyed by it.

Bruh he's already been around a year and his music since the first tape has sounded NOTHING like houston. So how exactly do you see Bronson getting bigger but A$ap failing?

Dude has 3 front teeth tho

Bronson is a lyricist and hip-hop has embraced him due to how talented he is. He might not attain crazy commercial success but he will always have a steady fan-base.

I think ASAP sucks but his label has too much invested into him to let him dwindle away, so like him or not we're stuck with him.

I honestly think that A$ap has grown a quality fandbase on his own. He may not be the best lyricist on earth but his Mixtape was a GREAT one and surprised A lot of people who may have thought he was just 1-2 songs.

I also feel that his album will deliver because he generally seems to be someone who cares deeply about all forms of art and takes into account being different and not doing what everyone else does... Rocky is def gonna be around a long time

Def Jam has lost their minds. Props for Trinidad gettin' shine though. Always good to see a Black man come up.

Action Bronson ain't ever gonna bigger than A$AP or even close.  Most rap fans don't even know who Bronson is, and alot of us don't wanna here fake ghostface lyrics from a fat redhead....sorry.  A$AP makes good music and has a good flow.  And he's 100 times better than Trinidad

music aint a sprint, its a marathon... action bronson makes better music then asap, that tape with alchemist >>>>> anything da asap mob dropped thus far.

 

die hard rap fans know whats poppin.

No that is an Opinion bcuz LiveloveA$ap is def a better album than anything i've heard from Bronson. He is liked by all those cats who are in love with that 90's sound that's cool and all but there is nothing new about it and he sounds EXACTLY like another rapper.

 

Exactly.  NY dudes really think the world revolves around them. Ninja "real rap" dudes or whatever you wanna call them are rare.  That 90's sound aint coming back.  You can be real rap and lyrical without that 90's sound too.  Action aint poppin'.....sadly is image won't even allow it

Ask the Bay. They've been rapping about popping E for 10 years + and their card isn't one to pull

In reality most ****** i know who have done shootings are usually on a pill, or gone off some dust...

ALL the young shooters are feining for molly now and i LARGELY blame that on hiphop

I blame hip hop for raising the price. Used to get molly for like $8, go to a rave and dance til 6am. The Good ol days

Yep. Molly took the scene by storm earlier this year. I remember trying to get some people to roll with me from November of 2011 to March of 2012. Just something I wanted to experience before I graduated college (experiment with a few drugs). I bs you not, in that time span, only three people said they were down. Fast forward to today, I get asked by those people that shot me down. It's to the point I don't eem want to do it any more.

I blame Future, Ross, Keef, etc...

heard he got that 2mill he was asking for, man dudes are trolling they way into millions now. "cant knock the hustle"

Lol this post is so adorably naive

Pretty much.

And A$AP Rocky/A$AP Mob's projects were waaaay more than just solid. Those were very good projects. Sure, Rocky & Ferg are really the only distinctive dudes while the rest are more like background, but that production is phenomenal, and just the whole sound they create is top notch. Same with SpaceGhostPurrp. I don't get the feeling that any one of them are jacking Houston/Memphis sound and pedaling like it's theirs. They sound legit like they are influenced by that sound and are paying homage. It's your bigger more popular mainstream artists who are doing the blatant jacking and passing it off as their own.

That Bronsin project was dope too. ALC is my favorite producer, so that was an easy DL.

Trinidad single handedly proved literaly anyone can become a rapper and can get signed to a major record label and get millions.
Cant hate on him though.

Not at all. Dude worked the system.

Yo . . . dude really got a $2 Million Dollar deal PLUS a record label deal of his own for his Gold Gang Records imprint.

It took Ross and Wayne years to do that.

 

This gotta make a dude like Drake salty, who grinded years and years and got the same amount of money Trinidad got . . . while Trinidad just basically messed around and did the rap **** just because and then shot the video and blew up.

 

I'm no hip hop snob, I can't believe dudes are really asking whether or not this dude is the future of rap, giving him his own record label, 2 Million dollar deals, off of ONE SONG AND VIDEO.

 

I can't even be mad though. Beat was free, just sitting around on the internet, he probably paid only a few hundred to a few thousand for studio time, and maybe he paid a few thousand for the video. Took less than 10k and parlayed it into 2 Million and his own record label. I don't blame him for milking it.
