No it isn't...and that's what alot of you guys need to understand. NT really isn't a good representation of what the new young Tumblr generation finds cool at all. If NT were a good gauge of what's hot and what's not...one might think Joe Budden is some sort of star. Hell, look at that ASAP thread. It's pretty funny if you read it from page one to where it is now.

Starts off w/ Purple Swag and everyone hyped and intrigued...then it dips in popularity and the general consensus is that his "15 minutes are up"..."Should have dropped the tape when he was hot", "People aren't talking about him anymore",etc. Then the tape drops and everybody is back riding d*** again. These +*##$$ are NOT AT ALL a good gauge of what the youngins find hot these days. I'm also pretty sure NT is the only forum with a Dipset Reunion thread

Everything in-house with complete creative control over everything. This is something artists just a few years ago and even now would DIE to have. If you want to be honest...ASAP Mob is kind of following it with that in-house model.

People keep letting how they feel about their music cloud their judgment...these kids aren't going anywhere. This is very much a new generation and new era with Hip-Hop...you can't really dictate mass popularity any more by how many times an artist is flooding the airwaves on the radio and how many times their video comes on 106 & Park. The internet is really starting to emerge more than it ever has as far as influence goes.

So are u saying that we shouldn't judge them on the quality of their music? I thought that was the only thing that mattered

 

[joerdan23]

Just cause dude has been gone for 3 years doesnt mean yall have to act like that track was decent. 1play.

We weren't talking about quality of music tho...we were talking specifically about their buzz. I'm saying that too many people (on here specifically) seem to let their personal feelings on the music cloud their judgment when discussing their business dealings and judging "buzz". 

 

[soulize dp]

Track was hot garbage, tho

yeah...NT is not a good gauge of what "us kids" think is hot. 
and i'm not talking quality...i'm talking strictly buzz. These N_s on here are waaaaay off most of the time.

I'll give them sell out shows.  That said, would you believe that Vanilla Ice still sells out shows in similar sized venues?
Just take a look at the official OF thread.  Joint slowed waaaaaay down, which to me equates to the initial hype wearing off.  NT is a pretty good gauge of internet hype levels, IMO.  Earl dipped and all of a sudden that unbelievable momentum they had kinda left.  I would imagine it'll be tough to get that back.  And if they do, like you said they're catering to a lot of hypebeasts.  Trust that they'll move on to the next "it" group in time.      

No Vanilla Ice doesn't.
Odd Future is headlining a festival with Wu Tang Clan in 2 months.
They have a large international fan base.
I just sold 2 Odd Future concert tickets for $160 2 months ago even tho they perform in LA 6 times a year.
But yeah they're not "in" on NT so they must be done

so does showbiz and ag 

done in the states = not hot.
not saying they're down for the count, but "international artists" always try to "break" in the states.

I agree.

But I dont think this applies to OF. Plus NT is the home of Lil Wayne is irrelevant and ScHoolboy Q should be one of the top 10 hottest rappers

If you can show me where I said they're "done", feel free.  I'll wait.  

All I noted is that their buzz has fell way off since Earl dipped.  These dudes were on the cusp of something epic and then it died.  All I said is that it'll be hard to get that momentum back, which it will be regardless of having a large international fanbase (what semi-popular, U.S. rapper/group DOESN'T though?), selling out shows in L.A. (their backyard) and headlining a show w/ the Wu (which in 2012 isn't quite the feat it once was, if you're honest with yourself).

Christian Clancy is a former label rep for Interscope that's been doing it for years. His wife, Kelly is a major publicist, thus why you see them EVERYWHERE on EVERY magazine and major music site. There's nothing DIY about them, they have a machine backing them up and pushing them out. 
No hate though. They came up quick and are getting their money.
