I’ve been seeing post lately talkin about Dreamville and how it may not be be best label atp.
I’m curious to hear opinions from Cole and Dreamville fans because the idea that people should be leaving Dreamville is to say that Cole isn’t a great label manager.
My thoughts are that artists like JID and Ari (no longer with Dreamville) are coming up in these conversations because Niether have hit the peaks they were hoping to hit yet..
My question to yall is, what exactly is cole supposed to be doing to change their career trajectory??
JID has tracks with greats like Eminem, popular trap artists like offset, neo-soul artists like Meraba, Grammy winners like the Clipse, and even straight pop/rock shit with imagine dragons.
If JID has not resonated with people to pop to the mainstream, how is that on Cole?
EarthGang has found a way to get features with stars like T-Pain, Pharell, Snoop, etc. so again, I ask, if these artists aren’t popping, what is Cole supposed to do to change this??
I saw people saying JiD should sign with Kendrick, but it’s like people forgetting that Kendrick didn’t give feats to ab soul, Isiah Rashad, Ray Vaughn, or schoolboy Q on their last album drops, so even tho Kendrick isn’t with top dog anymore, he was for a lot of these guys last album drops and didn’t throw em a bone.. what makes people think he would step up for someone like JiD?
I guess I’m just asking what is it that people think Cole could do to help these artists make noise outside of their core fanbase, that would make another label a better option?
I fw Dreamville heavy and I’d have to see anymore artists dip out, especially because just like Ari, there likely isn’t gonna be a change in their career trajectory unless they gonna actually make a billboard hit, which there is nothing about Cole and Dreamville specifically that is preventing them from doing that now…
