Why does Shadow get little attention from the Hip Hop community?
You don't see the large hip hop legends praising Shadow. Is it because he's not all Hip Hop?
>>73271668
It's because he's garbage, OP. If you'd been on on here for more than a week you'd know that
>>73271668
Because that album is too beautiful to be appreciated by the hip poop community.
>>73271668
Because rappers stick to the producers they came up with or don't know shit about production.

>Implying TPAB or MBDTF isn't beautiful
cause he's not producing for anyone and his debut is still his best work
>>73271668
>doesn't produce for anyone
>only one good album (albeit the best hip hop album in existance)
>he is white
>>73272214
Eminem is white.......
>>73271668
It's because he's white
>>73272300
the hip hop community is predominantly black, introduce too many whites to the scene and you will estrange the majority of your audience
He's white, he's from the UK. They usually don't get much attention over here
>>73271668
One good album and then went straight to shit. No consistency especially considering the volumes of great stuff that other hip-hop artists put out.
>>73272214
He currently produces for and with rappers. On his last album he did a song with RTJ and only a few weeks ago he came out with a song with Nas which was sadly very poor.

The same could be said for Lauryn Hill even though she's still regarded by some as one of the better hip-hop artists.
Not enough hype or personality
The hip hop community is superficial
>>73272001
>MBDTF
>beautiful
lmao
I want to see him on Rhythm Roulette
>>73272457
He's from cali
>>73272001
>>73272001
this is literally the worst post on this board rn
>>73271668
Have you seen the hip-hop community?
You'll never see a bigger collection of retards
>>73272385
bullshit. If all the whites went off of hip-hop tommorow then it would die.
>>73272001
they're shit
>>73273549
nah no one buys music anymore
no one making money its all ego game
>>73271668
>You don't see the large hip hop legends praising Shadow.
his last album was released on the label that nas co-founded
>>73273634
exactly
>it's a teenagers acting like they know how the music business works thread
>>73273809
Like you know anything more.
Reveal your knowledge to use.
He gets "little attention" because he made one great album 20 years ago and has done fucking nothing since.
For a brief period of time he was a big deal and people talked about him plenty. Now they don't because unlike /mu/ the rest of the world doesn't suck people's dicks and pretend they're relevant because of albums that are old enough to buy booze by now.
Are we going to have threads about why The Dismemberment Plan gets little attention too? Or fucking Cap'n Jazz? God damn you guys are stupid
>>73273964
He's more relevant than ever.

>Releases a shitty album with no hype and exactly one song that does well almost exclusively thanks to the featured rappers
Damn you got me there

That's still more than "done fucking nothing since".
>>73274196
Wow, sure, if you want to be a pedantic retard then that's TECHNICALLY more than literally doing "fucking nothing". I guess that's why American Football is so relevant now, right? Or Refused? Or the Stone Roses? Or the Wu-Tang Clan? Since releasing anything at all is apparently enough to stay relevant in your book.
>>73274346
I think you should resolve your anger issues and understand what relevant actually means first before you waste anymore of my time.
>>73271668
What hip hop community? /mu/ dont know squat about underground hip hop from cali
>>73274434
I think you should first gargle my balls and then second stop arguing based on semantics like a pussy.
One pretty good track that gets a reasonable amount of attention and sounds like everything else in his catalog is not enough to "maintain contemporary interest".
>>73274578
Relevancy is relative.
Huge world of difference between /mu/ drones watching TND and actual porch monkeys.
