it's not messed up, you just can't see it's the same ol bullshit and it's nothing new

they fund you to control you

these fuckers DO NOT CARE ABOUT "THE SCENE" or authenticity of our arts

it's only ever been about the money

unfortunately ppl like you somehow equate artists/sports guys from the ends doing good as indicative of care, love of black excellence or some push towards musical equality across the board

it's not

/

black people don't control the music business why?

we sell out at the first opportunity, in stormz's case man sold out before most of us even heard of him

it's 2017 and we still can't empower ourselves by funding and maintaining control of our craft

 

And who's to say he won't do this later

Didn't he recently create his own record label

Lol at everyone thinking this won't open the doors for UK urban music regardless of his set up

[Drift]

I'm happy that a fellow big blick Ghana boy from London is doing well but it's important to know all the facts behind the success.

he won't coz chances are his already signed away his future judging by his newly created label

so? u talk as if creating your own record label is hard, it's not

funding & running it at the highest level is hard as fuck especially if you are truly independent

Can't see past the jealously 

[Restrictive]

Lol.

Stormzy defo was getting views before that, not as much as he is now but...

One of the first times I came across him was Wicked Skengman and that was before Adidas i think and that was mainly because he was being pushed by certain members of "black twitter" such as JamzLDN.

But at the same time I can agree partly with the people saying he kind of just exploded out of nowhere.

[Afroman]

Every artist needs a plug to a certain degree. A lot of these artist on sb, grm & co can't  generate the views they do if they posted it on their own account. This concept of an artist development being organic to the core  in this day and age is flawed imo

If anything it was the "black twitter influencers" who gave stormzy a big push before adidas

I remember that ugly shit "mr exposed" was plugging him as well 

he also done the same to Nadia Rose and she blew and what brand picked her up from there? Adidas
